If your opponent is distracted by how amazing your chess set looks, it's an edge you deserve for having excellent taste and a keen eye for an exceptional bargain! The American Staunton wood chess set is a new set in our collection of wood chess pieces. This chess set comes with a king that stands 3 3/4 inches tall with a 1 5/8 inch base. The only reason for these kings to topple is when your opponent resigns! The knight has the traditional raised head with his ears laid back, teeth bared, and nostrils flared so that he's ready to do battle! The light pieces are made of beautiful Boxwood, and you can select your choice of wood for the darker pieces from: Ebonized Boxwood, Indian Rosewood, or Golden Rosewood Like good furniture, these pieces do best away from direct sunlight and in stable humidity. The solid, wooden box will help keep your pieces in mint condition. Although these pieces are weighted for greater stability, the entire set only weighs approximately 3 1/4 pounds. We've kept it light enough for travel because a chess set that looks this good should be shown to the world. The felt bottoms will ensure your chessboard of choice remains unmarked.
