This chess set package includes our Deluxe Old Club Staunton Chess Set in acacia wood and boxwood matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. The Deluxe Old Club is one of our most popular models and is often called the Reykjavik. The Deluxe Old Club is an ageless classic and is one of the most recognized chess sets among chess players. These are the perfect tournament pieces with a 3.25 king with a base of 1.375. The pieces are heavily weighted and have thick green baize pads for a soft landing on the chess board. We include 2 extra queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and what type of wood it is.The rich brown color of the walnut and maple chess board has the perfect blend of colors for matching with the golden-brown acacia wood and cream-colored boxwood pieces. This is an inlaid chess board made from the finest walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the wood. The precision of the inlay work is remarkable. The chess board has 1.75 squares accentuated by a wide black delimiter and surrounded by an extra wide frame. The overall size of the board is 17.5 and is .5 thick. The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost. Whether a collector or you are looking for a great chess set for your games at home, the Deluxe Old Club will enhance every game you play.Chess Pieces: Acacia Wood & Boxwood; King Height: 3.25; King Base: 1.375; King Weight: 1.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 30 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Wide Black Delimiter Around Squares; Square Size: 1.75; Overall Dimensions: 17.5 x .5 Thick; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 8.25 x 5.625 x 3.75 ; Inside Dimension: 7.25 x 4.5 x 2.5 (.75 space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;
