Where to Find House of Staunton's Featured Collections and New Arrivals

Updated

House of Staunton surfaces its featured collections and new arrivals directly on its homepage through several labeled sections: Trending Products, Newest Arrivals, Must Have Chess Products, and Featured Categories. Each section is a horizontal carousel you scroll left or right to browse. Product cards show the item name, price, and either a "View details" link or an "Add to cart" button, so you can move from browsing to buying without leaving the page.

The homepage sections and what each one shows

The homepage organizes products into distinct carousels. Based on the current page content, here is what each section contains:

Section What it shows Example items

Featured Categories Category-level entry points (sets, boards, pieces, boxes) Not itemized in the captured page content; use the category labels to jump into a product group

Many items in these carousels carry a Free Worldwide Shipping label. That label appears on the product card itself, so check each card rather than assuming it applies store-wide.

Named collections to look for

Two collection names appear prominently in the page content and are worth knowing when you browse:

  • The Camaratta Collection — a named line of luxury chess pieces. The Killarney Vintage Series (5" King), the Northern Upright (4.5" King), the Zukertort (4.4" King), the British Chess Company Imperial (4.4" King), and The Congress (4.4" King) are all described as coming from this collection.
  • The Killarney Vintage Series — a vintage-styled luxury piece line within the Camaratta Collection, headlined by a 5" King set.

If you want pieces from a specific design lineage, start with these names rather than scrolling the full catalog.

How to browse by product type

The site's catalog is structured around four core product types, reflected in its title and category structure: chess sets, chess boards, chess pieces, and chess boxes. The Featured Categories section is the fastest route into each type. From there:

  1. Pick the category (for example, chess boxes).
  2. Use the collection pages within that category to narrow by style or material — for example, Premium Chess Boxes is a named collection, and individual products like the Premium Chess Box – Brazilian Rosewood sit inside it.
  3. Open a product page to see full details, price, and the add-to-cart option.

Beyond the core four, the catalog also includes chess tables (such as The Camaratta Signature Master Chess Table), travel sets, chess software (FRITZ 21), and chess books (Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual).

Reading a product card before you click

Every card in the carousels follows the same pattern, which makes comparison quick:

  • Name and series — often includes the king height (e.g., 4.4" King), which is the standard way piece sets are sized.
  • Price — shown in USD on the card.
  • Action — "View details" for items that need configuration or more information; "Add to cart" for items ready to buy directly.
  • Shipping badge — "Free Worldwide Shipping" where applicable.

One practical note: piece sets, boards, and boxes are sold separately in many listings, while some entries are full combinations (set, box, and board together). Check whether a listing is a combination or a single component before buying, since the price difference is substantial — a pieces-only set and a full combination are not the same purchase.

A quick path for different shoppers

  • Budget-conscious: start with Trending Products, where the Grandmaster combination ($269.00) and the magnetic travel set ($149.95) sit alongside luxury items.
  • Collector or gift buyer: go straight to the Camaratta Collection names and the Must Have section, where pieces run from $519.00 to $1,339.00.
  • Just want what's new: the Newest Arrivals carousel is the dedicated feed for recent additions, including non-equipment items like software and books.
  • Shopping for a specific component: use Featured Categories to jump to sets, boards, pieces, or boxes, then narrow within that category's collections.

For purchase-order buyers, the site also notes "We Accept Purchase Orders!" — useful if you are buying on behalf of a club or institution.
