Great chess set

The chess board is not the size advertised!

Very easy ordering process, great value and prompt delivery

The set I ordered is of high quality and beautiful design.

Delivery was efficient and fast. The product was very well wrapped and protected. Quality is excellent. This is a birthday present. Brilliant, thank you

I saved up to buy a fancy chess set from here and writhing a fortnight, my dog had chewed up one of the rooks that had fallen to the floor. (She thinks things on the floor are fair game. We’re working on it.)

I searched everywhere that sells individual replacement pieces and couldn’t find one anywhere. I was so upset. And then I reached out to The English Chess Company/Official Staunton chat, and without even letting me know they were doing it, they put a spare in the post for me. It absolutely made my life. Really, really lovely and great service. Highly recommend!

I’ve got to give this company a good review. I ordered an algebraic chess board and chess pieces which arrived very quickly after placing the order. One of the white knights was damaged and I asked them to replace it which they did immediately by sending me a complete set of black and white pieces along with extra queens. Far more than I was expecting. Definitely the sort of company I’m happy to do business with.

Great chess set [Classic Staunton Chess Set – 3" Ebonised Pieces & 50cm Anegre Board], reasonable price £125(?), arrived quickly. Came, unexpectedly, with spare queens.

One minor niggle: the case for the pieces was missing - sorted out quickly after an irritating email exchange. (They replied with an incomprehensible, terse message, but after "clarification" sent another message saying "We will send the vinyl box assp". It arrived in 3 days.)

I’m really happy with this lovely Chessboard. It is really well built and of high quality. It has alternate wood and mother of pearl squares which look great. It has small pads on the four corners of the base to protect any surface it will sit upon. It also comes with a sturdy storage bag to protect it when not in use.

Great service and a wonderful set. Recommended seller! Also a great extra gift.

We have a Staunton set from decades ago. I didn’t realise the pieces I chose were not similarly weighted and bigger.

I had a great experience purchasing a Chessboard set, with a discount code on their own website. Bringing a £65 chessboard set to around £55.

The chessboard was beautifully crafted, the chess pieces were not aesthetically fantastic, but for the price I paid they were amazing, the pieces were weighted and felt nice to hold.

This is a very high quality chess and checkers set, I am very pleased with it

It’s lovely

The chess set came in good time as it was a birthday present.
It was a very nicely boxed chess set and well made, nice folding box/chess board and holds all the pieces really nice.
Very nice looking and well made.

Pieces look and feel great.

The board had a few scuffs on it and one of the joins at the corner isn't quite flush.

But for the price pretty happy with it.

Fantastic product coupled with brilliant customer service. An excellent shopping experience!

5 Stars. Excellent customer service. Fast delivery of product. Well packaged. Lovely quality Chess pieces and board. I purchased the Winchester chess set. Recommended.

These chess products are the best quality available. Customer service is also excellent. Thank you Staunton!

Looks very good, but I feel the veneer is quite poor, which is even broken/chipped in one place.
Would have included an image but doesn't seem to be that option here.
