FAQ

What does "PRE-ORDER" mean for this product?

This set is built exclusively for you upon ordering. Because each combination is custom-crafted to your specifications - including your choice of chess box finish - please allow approximately 3 weeks from the time of order for your set to be completed and shipped. This ensures you receive a truly bespoke product made to the highest standards.

Can I choose which chess box finish I want?

Yes! You can select your preferred Signature Fitted Coffer finish at checkout. Options include Macassar Ebony, Olmo Burl, Redwood Burl, Vavona Burl, and Walnut Burl. Each offers a distinct look, but all share the same premium Italian craftsmanship, individual piece compartments, brass hardware, and lock-and-key with tassel.

What makes this chess set worth the investment?

The Golden Collector Series represents the highest tier of chess manufacturing available. The pieces are hand carved and hand turned from the finest Antiqued Boxwood and Genuine Ebony by master artisans - a process that cannot be replicated by machine. Paired with a US-made contemporary chessboard and an Italian-crafted fitted coffer, the entire combination is an heirloom-quality set that will last for generations. Purchasing as a combination also saves you 22% compared to buying each component separately.

Are the chess pieces weighted?

The set has a median weight of 74.6 ounces for the full set, reflecting the substantial, high-density nature of Genuine Ebony and Antiqued Boxwood. The pieces have a satisfying heft ideal for serious play. All pieces also feature genuine gold English leather basepads for a smooth, quiet feel on the board.

Does the set include extra Queens?

Yes - the Golden Collector Series includes 34 chess pieces in total, which includes 2 additional Queens to support pawn promotion during play. This is a hallmark of a serious, tournament-quality chess set.

Is a carrying bag included, and do I need one?

A carrying bag is not included by default, but you can add a 28" chess board bag at checkout (available in Standard and Deluxe options). The bag is sized specifically for the 27" x 27" chessboard and is highly recommended if you plan to transport the board to events or store it safely when not in use.
