Grey ash burl and white erable construction

Chess Bazaar pairs two premium woods to create a chess board that feels special every time you set it down.

Grey ash burl brings a deep, natural grain that stands out under the shiny hi-gloss finish.

White erable adds a lighter touch that keeps the whole board looking clean and balanced.

Together they create a polished style that suits relaxed games or more focused sessions.

At 55 cm, the board gives every piece enough space so your layout stays clear and easy to follow from start to finish.

Reinforced veneer construction

If you want a chess board that's sturdy without the extra bulk... a veneered build gives you that balance.

The veneer keeps the surface stable so the board stays flat and reliable even with regular use.

Its smooth finish supports each piece properly, keeping your setup neat and consistent.

And with less weight to manage, it’s simpler to carry, store or bring out whenever the game calls for it.

World-class craftsmanship

When you grab a Chess Bazaar board, you can tell the quality right off the bat.

Each part is shaped and finished by experts to show off the wood's natural beauty.

You can clearly see the wood grain because it’s made with care and not churned out in a factory.

It’s built to last and works well for daily games but it also looks great when you show it off as a display piece.

This level of skill makes every game better and now Aussies can get their hands on it.

Frequently asked questions

What size pieces work best with this board?

The board is designed for pieces with a king base between 40–45 mm, so anything in that range will sit properly and look balanced on the 55 mm squares.

Does the board come with chess pieces?

No, the board is sold on its own. This lets you pair it with the exact set you prefer, whether you already own one or plan to choose something specific.

Is the board heavy to move around?

Not at all. The veneered build keeps the weight manageable while still feeling solid, so you can move it, store it or set it up without any hassle.

How durable is the glossy finish?

The hi-gloss finish is built to handle regular play. It protects the wood, keeps the colours sharp and wipes clean easily when needed.

Will the board stay flat over time?

Yes. The reinforced veneer construction helps prevent warping, giving you a stable surface that stays level even after long-term use.

Can this board be used for serious games?

Definitely. The full-size 55cm layout and proper square dimensions make it suitable for casual play and more focused, competitive games.

Is this board handmade?

Yes. Each board is crafted by skilled artisans, so the grain, finish and details have that handmade quality you don’t get from mass-produced boards.

Will the colours look the same as shown online?

Grey ash burl and white erable both have natural grain, but the tones stay consistent. You can expect the same clean contrast and polished look.

Where is the board made?

It’s made in Spain, known for producing high-quality wooden chess boards with reliable craftsmanship and materials.

Is this board good enough to display at home or work?

Absolutely. The combination of glossy finish, clean contrast and premium veneer makes it a strong display piece even when it’s not in use.
