BEAUTIFUL!

This chess set is made of rich onyx. It gleams. I have it on my grand piano where it highlights the deep black color of the Steinway wood.

Way more stunning in person.

Product picture

As beautiful as this board appears online, it’s even more breathtaking in person. I have very recently learned how to play chess and have been playing incessantly online, so I decided to treat myself to a real board, and when I stumbled upon this one I knew it was a no brainer. I placed it on my coffee table so it’s not only a gorgeous center piece, it’s a functional one as well. Thank you for this product!
