    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    • What factors should I consider when buying a chess board?

      • Consider the size of the board, the material it's made from, and whether you prefer a traditional or themed design.
    • What size chess board should I choose?

      • The size of the chess board should be proportional to the size of the chess pieces. A general guideline is to choose a board where the diameter of the king's base is 75-80% of the square size.
    • What materials are chess boards typically made from?

      • Chess boards are commonly made from wood, marble, or other durable materials. Each material offers its own unique aesthetic and durability.
    • How do I care for my chess board?

      • To maintain the beauty of your chess board, regularly dust it with a soft cloth and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. For wooden boards, occasional polishing with a wood-friendly polish can help preserve its lustre.

    Themed Chess Boards

    • Are themed chess boards suitable for serious gameplay?

      • Yes, themed chess boards can be used for serious gameplay. While they may add a decorative element to the game, they still provide a functional playing surface for competitive play.
    • Do you offer customization options for chess boards?

      • Yes, we offer customization options for certain chess boards. Please contact our customer service team for more information on how to personalize your board
    • The Official Staunton Chess Shop proudly offers the widest selection of chess boards in the UK, and quite possibly Europe. Our collection encompasses a vast array of styles, sizes, and price points, sourced from countries like Spain, Italy, Poland, India, and the USA. Whether you prefer solid craftsmanship or the elegance of veneer, rest assured that every board we stock is of impeccable quality, chosen for its durability, finish, and meticulous quality control.

      Our range of veneer boards boasts an array of designs and colors, sourced from trusted European suppliers known for their exceptional quality standards. Whether you prefer a natural satin finish or a glossy lacquer, our selection caters to your preferences for high-quality craftsmanship.

      When it comes to luxury, why settle for anything less? Our fine luxury wooden chess boards from Italy and Poland are meticulously crafted from rare hardwoods, ensuring that your prized chess pieces have a deserving stage. Available in sizes ranging from 12 to 24 inches, each board is a testament to superior craftsmanship and attention to detail.

      Of course, no chess board collection would be complete without the inclusion of finely crafted Italian boards. As proud stockists of the Italfama range, we can attest to the stunning wood grains, immaculate inlays, and flawless lacquered finishes that adorn these boards. When quality is non-negotiable, look no further than our selection of fine Italian chess boards.

      Wood has long been the material of choice for chess boards, offering durability and a timeless appeal. Our extensive range of wooden boards, sourced from esteemed manufacturers in Italy, Spain, and Greece, features a stunning mix of hardwoods such as Ebony, Rosewood, Walnut, Maple, Mahogany, and more.

      For those who appreciate craftsmanship, our solid wooden boards are expertly crafted in small artisan workshops, using selected cuts of luxury hardwoods like maple, sheesham, ebony, and rosewood. While they may come at a higher price point due to the use of precious hardwoods, their durability and resilience ensure they age gracefully over time, weathering dents, marks, and scratches better than their veneer counterparts.
