These are large, substantial pieces with a warm wood-like appearance - Natural and Dark Brown tones that sit comfortably on a traditional board. The material is Spruce-Tek resin, a patented material designed to replicate the look of real wood while being more consistent and resilient than timber. Up close, the Knights are a standout - detailed with flowing manes that give the set real character.
The King commands the board, and the triple weighted build means every piece sits firmly and moves with purpose.

The size and weight are the real draw here - at 110mm these are commanding pieces that make a game feel serious and deliberate. The Spruce-Tek material gives them a convincing wood-like look without the variability you get with actual timber, and the detailed Knights add a touch of personality that sets them apart from a standard Staunton set.
Recommended board size for these pieces is 50-55cm.
This product includes chess pieces only; the chessboard is not included and can be purchased separately.
The chess pieces look good and feel good to use. Not ideal is the manufacturing line that you can see too easily on some pieces that detracts from the wood look. Three pieces were sitting at an angle, this was fixed by pushing the protruding part of the base up into the piece until flat. I would have preferred the knights to look a bit more fierce than they do! The material they are made of is expected to be long lasting. I also liked the packing box that includes a foam tray for the pieces. As for the set, I would have liked to see a couple of extra queens included for when your pawns get to the other side of the board.
