What's wrong with this chess set?

I saw the Barnes and Nobles' classic wooden chess set. (Here is the link).
Hmm, seems like a good looking set that is reasonably priced.

But what's wrong with the package?


This photographer NEVER played chess. The lower right hand corner should be WHITE!
I have seen more than 1 set that has the wrong set up.

Though I think an elegant chess set is a nice-to-have item, but no one plays with me && I can't afford a very elegant set.

    What a shame; can't even place the chess pieces on a chess board.

    Lower Right corner is white; and White Queen hangs out in white square.

    I played chess a long long time ago, and even back then I realized I was not good enough to play. I looked for what went wrong in the picture but failed to find the error.
