Premium 48cm padauk chess board

Sized at 48cm x 48cm, this padauk board gives you a proper tournament-style surface, and the 58mm squares keep piece spacing clean and consistent.

It’s a straightforward layout that keeps the focus on play, with a clean grid that feels natural to set up on and easy to settle into.

The real value is the build quality. It’s made to the standard you expect from high-end European made chess sets, crafted by world-class artisans instead of being churned out in bulk.

You’ll notice it in the crisp edges, quality of the build and the smooth, even finish that feels premium and handles regular use.

Padauk 48cm Staunton Chess Set With German Acacia Chess Pieces

Handmade German acacia and boxwood chess pieces

These handcarved German acacia and boxwood pieces give you real timber grain and a clean two-tone look.

Boxwood takes fine carving well, so edges, crowns and collars stay crisp and well defined.

And acacia adds a darker, richer tone that holds up to regular handling and keeps its look over time.

Overall, you get solid wood pieces with sharper detail and better finish than standard sets or plastic.

It’s a well-made chess set available in Australia for players who want long-lasting quality, skilled workmanship, and strong value for money.

What our chess experts say

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good “proper sized” chess set?

Yeah. The board is 48cm x 48cm with 50mm squares, so the layout feels tournament-style and easy to read. The king is 90mm tall, which suits the board size nicely and gives you that classic Staunton proportion.

Will the pieces feel solid and nice in the hand?

They’ve got a reassuring feel because the whole set weighs 3.5kg. That weight usually shows up as better stability on the board, less sliding around, and a more planted feel when you’re playing.

What are the chess pieces made from?

The pieces are made from acacia and boxwood. You’re getting a traditional, two-tone wood combination, so the set keeps that clean Staunton look and feels like a real wooden set when you move the pieces.

Does it come with extra queens?

It includes extra queens, which is a big one if you promote a pawn and don’t want to improvise with an upside-down rook.

Is the board big enough to avoid pieces feeling cramped?

With 50mm squares, you get clear spacing so the pieces sit neatly without crowding each other.

Can I use this without worrying about it shifting around?

That 3.5kg total weight helps a lot with staying put during play. It’s the difference between constantly nudging the board back into place and just getting on with the game.
