EnglishWhat Kinds of Chess Products Can You Buy at House of Staunton?
Updated
House of Staunton sells chess equipment across a wide range of budgets, from plastic sets to luxury wooden pieces and heirloom-quality combinations. You can buy complete sets (often bundled with a box and board), individual pieces, boards, and storage boxes, as well as chess tables, travel sets, and chess books and software. The site organizes these into categories such as Trending Products, Newest Arrivals, Must Have Chess Products, and Featured Categories, so you can browse by product type or by collection.
Complete Chess Sets and Combinations
The most direct way to buy a playable setup is a set/box/board combination. These bundle pieces, a board, and a storage box in one purchase.
Examples listed on the site include:
- The Grandmaster Chess Set, Box, & Board Combination — $269.00, marked Free Worldwide Shipping
- The Library Championship Series Chess Set, Box, & Board Combination — listed under Must Have Chess Products with Free Worldwide Shipping
If you want a single purchase that arrives ready to play and store, start with this category. Check the listed king height and board square size before ordering, since combinations pair specific pieces with specific boards.
Individual Chess Pieces
You can buy pieces separately, which is useful if you already own a board or want to upgrade pieces while keeping your current setup. The site's pieces are grouped by series and collection, and listings typically state the king height.
Examples from the homepage:
| Product | King Height | Price |
|---|---|---|
| The Sultan Series Prestige Chess Pieces | 4.4" | $1,339.00 |
| The British Chess Company Imperial Luxury Chess Pieces (Camaratta Collection) | 4.4" | $899.00 |
| The Zukertort Luxury Chess Pieces (Camaratta Collection) | 4.4" | $799.00 |
| The Congress Luxury Chess Pieces (Camaratta Collection) | 4.4" | $799.00 |
| The Collector Series Luxury Chess Pieces | 4.0" | $519.00 |
| The Killarney Vintage Series Luxury Chess Pieces | 5" | Listed in featured headings |
Several of these carry Free Worldwide Shipping. The Camaratta Collection appears repeatedly as a named line of luxury pieces.
Chess Boards
Boards are sold individually, including premium wooden boards with named materials and square sizes. One example is the Signature Contemporary V Luxury Chess Board — Tiger Ebony / Bird's Eye Maple — 2.5" Squares at $1,049.00 with Free Worldwide Shipping.
When buying a board alone, match the square size to your piece base diameter and king height. A 2.5" square board suits larger pieces; smaller pieces will look and play better on smaller squares.
Chess Boxes and Coffers
Storage is a separate category, including fitted boxes and coffers. Examples include:
- Signature Fitted Coffer Chess Box — Walnut Burl — $795.00, Free Worldwide Shipping
- Premium Chess Box — Brazilian Rosewood — listed under the Premium Chess Boxes collection
If you buy pieces separately, confirm the box is sized for your piece height and count before ordering.
Chess Tables
The site sells furniture-style chess tables, such as The Camaratta Signature Master Chess Table at $795.00. This suits a dedicated playing space rather than portable use.
Travel Chess Sets
For portability, there is the ULTIMATE WOODEN Magnetic Travel Chess Set — 10" at $149.95. Magnetic pieces and a compact board make this the practical choice for travel or playing away from home.
Chess Books and Software
Beyond equipment, the site stocks study and training materials:
- Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual – 6th Edition – HARDCOVER — $49.95
- DOWNLOAD – FRITZ 21 — $80.95 (a software download, not a physical item)
These are useful add-ons if you are buying a set and want training material in the same order.
How to Choose
- Want one ready-to-play purchase: choose a set/box/board combination.
- Already have a board: buy pieces only, matching king height and base size to your board.
- Upgrading storage: buy a fitted box or coffer sized to your pieces.
- Playing on the go: choose the magnetic travel set.
- Setting up a permanent space: consider a chess table.
- Training: add a book or Fritz 21.
