- NOTE: This is a product made of natural materials and variations in grain and color can be different from board to board. This may be particularly notable in the Wenge wood, which can range from a semi consistent dark chocolate color to a higher contrast grain variance of dark and lighter brown tones (as seen in a few customer review photos).
Product Specs
Stacks nicely and lays down beautifully. The surface is perfectly level and fitment of the four sections is seamless. The suede wrap is a nice touch for displaying the chessboard stacked on a shelf at home/office, but the magnets that hold the wrap together is too weak to depend on for protecting the board for travel. I would love to see a thinner version of this chessboard to reduce weight, perhaps as much as half the thickness, with a fully enclosed case or pouch for travel. Someone use to make a version as I just described but he made very few then stopped. Too bad.
First, it is a magnificient object, by the quality of the woods used and the precisely adjusted mechanism to bult -on the job - avery good chess board. Moreever the dimension choosen is the tournament' type, which is a must when you have these chessmen related.
I recommand this object, to the chess payers as well to the enthousiasts of teh fine art.
I got this board for my wife and she really loves it. the only downside is the suede strap. it'd be nice if there was a non-leather option for storing the board.
The board is without doubt a 5-star product. Workmanship is superb, no defects, magnet alignment works perfectly. It shipped to Puerto Rico and the packaging did its job. …… 5 star review
The pictures on the web site do show a darker Wenge than what I received. I concluded that I had received the Walnut board, not the Wenge (perhaps influenced by the 7/21 review below). I contacted Chesshouse to arrange either a change or a credit for the difference …. 5 star drops to 2
After exchanging pictures it turns out my board is the Wenge edition. Nonetheless, Chesshouse was glad to arrange a return and emphasized their 90 day, 100% satisfaction guarantee. I have to say, one call was all it took (no transferring from one department to another, no holds, no ifs or buts) to give me all the options. …. Rating jumps back to 4.5
Realizing we’re dealing with the natural variations in wood, and given that the board is extraordinary, I’m keeping it. Here are some pictures, though, so you appreciate the tonality and help you decide on whether you go the Wenge or the Walnut route.
Look at those pictures… I got to give it a 5!
Great chessboard! The wenge wood is absolutely beautiful and what a satisfying sound as the board comes together. I appreciate the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Well worth the price.
