What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from collectors and players who have chosen Official Staunton for their chess sets, boards, and pieces.
We bought the 14" Acacia Magnetic Folding Chess Set as an anniversary gift and it's stunning. The magnetic pieces sit perfectly, the wood finish is gorgeous, and it folds away so neatly. Worth every penny.
I've collected chess sets for years and the 15.75" Mahogany Board with the Classic Acacia pieces is one of the finest I own. The weighting on the pieces is exactly right and the drawstring bag is a lovely touch.
Ordered the Economy Mahogany and Maple set for my son to learn on. Beautifully made for the price, arrived quickly, and their team answered all my questions before I bought. Genuinely great service.
The craftsmanship is a cut above anything I've bought before. You can tell these pieces are made to last generations. This is now the only place I recommend to fellow club members.
