After many requests we are pleased to offer a small selection of chess game tables and chairs. These provide the convenience of being able to play a great game of chess without hogging the space on a fine dining room table for example.
 

Solid Wooden chessboards are made of natural solid woods. The wood used is generally of a thickness of at least 1/2" and often mounted on a wooden substrate to ensure it maintains it's shape without cracking or warping. The price of these boards is dependent on the woods used and of course, the size of the board itself. At TheChessPiece we have been instrumental in working with our artisans and vendors to supply chessboards to exacting standards including several exclusive designs that match our design and performance expectations. Our larger more expensive boards may appear expensive but when buying a luxury set of chessmen it is really important to show these off on an equally impressive platform. We hope you like what we offer!

Veneer chessboards are as the name implies chessboards that are not made of solid woods. Although each one varies by manufacturer they generally comprise a veneer of a fine wood of around 1/16" thick which is then glued to a substrate made of MDF or a less expensive chipboard and then they are heavily lacquered to ensure that they are sealed and protected. Although these boards are inexpensive and may not appeal to the discerning chess collector they are very functional and often extremely attractive. They make great boards for some of our less expensive chessmen where the budget available for a complete chess set is limited. Since our chessboards and chess pieces may be purchased separately it is not uncommon for buyers to purchase a really nice set of chessmen with an inexpensive veneer board and then later, when funds permit, follow up with a second purchase of a luxury solid wood chessboard.
