Chess Bazaar 53cm bud rosewood and maple chess board

At 53cm x 53cm, this board gives you enough space to set your pieces and see the whole field clearly.

Dark bud rosewood keeps a deep tone and the light maple makes every square contrast beautifully to stand out.

Both woods pair cleanly and create a calm look that fits in any room without being too loud.

And the weight gives a solid feel while still being easy enough to set up wherever you want to play.

Premium Meghdoot series chess pieces

The Meghdoot Series chess set uses bud rosewood for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces.

The bud rosewood shows a deep, natural tone that holds up well paired with boxwood that has a clean, smooth surface.

These woods don't scratch easily compared to softer woods which helps the set stay sharp even with regular use and every piece has multiple layers of high-quality buff polish.

Plus, the natural wood grain means each piece is unique, something you can't get with plastic.

World-class craftsmanship

The Meghdoot Series chess set shows its world-class build in every detail.

Each bud rosewood/boxwood chess piece sits on a thick green felt that protects the board from scratches and is finished with multiple layers of high-quality buff polish, creating a premium feel in your hand.

The board’s clean squares and even surface create an enjoyable playing experience.

Overall, it’s a well made set now offered in Australia for players who value strong craftsmanship and reliable quality.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the chess set made from?

The pieces are carved from bud rosewood and boxwood, and the board uses bud rosewood with maple. So you’re getting real timber, not something that feels cheap or flimsy.

How heavy are the pieces?

They’re properly weighted, which gives each move a solid, steady feel. No hollow pieces tipping over, just a stable set that feels good in the hand.

Is the finish going to last?

Yes. Each piece is polished with several layers of Buff polish, so you get a smooth, premium finish that holds up over time.

Will the pieces scratch my board?

No. Every piece has a thick green felt on the base. It protects the board and helps the pieces glide quietly when you play.

Is the board big enough for comfortable play?

The 53cm board with 55 mm squares gives you plenty of room. The pieces don’t feel cramped, and the game is easy to follow.

Does the set look premium in real life?

Absolutely. The deep tones of bud rosewood, the clean maple squares, and the polished finish all give it a high-end look you notice straight away.

Is this a good set for daily use, not just display?

Definitely. It’s built to be played with—solid weight, smooth movement, and durable materials make it ideal for regular games.

How consistent is the craftsmanship?

Each piece is hand-finished, hand-weighted, and felted with care. So you’re getting a level of detail you don’t usually see in mass-produced sets.

Will the weight vary?

There can be a small variation since the weighting is done by hand, but it doesn’t affect feel or balance. The pieces still land with that solid, satisfying stability.

Is it worth the investment?

If you want a set that looks premium, feels great to play with, and lasts for years, this one delivers. It’s made with proper materials and real craftsmanship—something you’ll appreciate every time you open it up for a game.
