The Dal Rossi 38cm Folding Chess Set is a complete, self-contained chess set for players who want something they can pack away cleanly, take on the road, or store without taking up permanent shelf space. The walnut case folds open to reveal a proper walnut and maple inlaid playing surface — no separate board to set up, no loose pieces to hunt for. Everything is in the box.
The 80mm Staunton pieces are stored in the felt-lined interior and come with two black velvet drawstring bags, keeping the sets organised and protected between sessions. Closed, the set has the clean, considered look of a Dal Rossi walnut case. Open, it is a quality playing board with a warm natural timber surface ready for a game.
Dal Rossi has been producing premium board game sets in Italy since the 1980s, with a family-owned commitment to quality materials and handcrafted construction. The folding chess set reflects that standard in a format built for convenience.
Most folding chess sets compromise on the playing surface — a thin board, a printed finish, or a felt surface that does not replicate the experience of a proper wooden board. The Dal Rossi 38cm Folding Chess Set avoids that trade-off. The walnut and maple inlaid playing surface is a quality timber board, not a fabric or printed alternative, and the walnut case that houses it is built to the Dal Rossi construction standard.
The result is a folding set that plays like a proper chess set and stores like a quality case. For players who want a set that is easy to take travelling, move between rooms, or put away without setting up and packing down a board separately, this is a significantly better option than most folding sets at this price point.
For players who want a larger dedicated playing surface, the Dal Rossi Queen's Gambit 50cm Chess Set offers the same quality in a 50cm flat board format. Browse the full chess sets collection at Sterling Chess to compare across the range.
The walnut case opens on a central hinge to lie flat as the playing board. The inlaid walnut and maple squares are arranged in the standard 8x8 grid across the full 38cm surface, with the walnut frame giving the board a clean, finished border. The playing surface is a quality timber board — not a fabric insert or printed panel.
Closed, the case has a compact, considered profile that stores easily on a shelf, in a bag, or in a drawer. The felt lining inside the closed case keeps pieces cushioned and the board surface protected from scratching during storage and transport.
The 80mm sheesham and natural boxwood Staunton pieces are well-proportioned for the 38cm board. The warm dark tone of the sheesham pieces and the pale natural boxwood light pieces create a clear, classic contrast on the walnut and maple playing surface.
Two black velvet drawstring bags — one per side — keep the pieces organised inside the case. The bags protect piece finishes during storage and make setup and pack-down straightforward. Open the case, lay out the pieces from the bags, and play begins.
The Dal Rossi 38cm Folding Chess Set is the set we would recommend for anyone who wants to play chess without the setup overhead of a separate board and pieces. The walnut and maple playing surface is a genuine quality board, the pieces are well-made, and the velvet bags and felt lining make the whole set feel considered rather than convenient. A great gift for travelling players or anyone who wants a quality chess set that stores cleanly without taking over a shelf.
