Searching For And Purchasing Unique Chess Sets

By Sarah Nelson


Many people enjoy playing chess and it has been a popular game for centuries and is played all over the world. You can buy a board and pieces from various stores and web based retailers but some players will want something special. When you are looking for and buying unique chess sets there are various options for you to choose from and it is a good idea to do some research before you buy.

One of the great things about a chess set is that there are no standard designs for the pieces and they can be tailored to suit your tastes. A piece can be made from various materials including wood, metal, glass and even precious metals and jewels. The board can also be customized to your own tastes by using various materials in a range of colors.

Before you place an order for your item you will need to give some thought to the design and theme of your set. A popular choice is to have pieces made that look like cartoon or film characters as well as animals. Manufacturers can make almost anything for you and the boards can be made up with pictures and other personal images.

Many retailers offer customized chess sets and you can select the one that suits your tastes. There are retailers on the high street that sell them and some manufacturers will advertise their products in the press. You are also able to buy from one of the many web based outlets and their internet pages will give you some good information and help with your research.

When you order and make an online purchase there are a few things to be aware of beforehand. You will not be able to handle or inspect the product before you buy and the photos on the web can sometimes differ from the actual item. You may also have to pay a fee for delivery unless your supplier is offering a free shipping service.

If you wish to design a set and get it made you will need to work with a manufacturer and discuss your ideas. The firm that makes you set can sit down with you and go through your ideas and they will often suggest improvements or ideas that you may not have considered. When the final design has been approved the manufacturer will give you a price to make the item and you should compare this price with other makers.

The price you pay for a unique board and chess pieces will vary and depend on the materials used to make it, size and where you buy from. Basic sets can be purchased for around thirty dollars rising to thousands for a bespoke set made with gold, silver and jewels. Some of the boards are made from rare and exotic woods and these can also be expensive.

When you have invested in a one off chess set it is important that you look after it to keep it in good condition. Always wipe the board after playing to remove moisture and dust. The pieces should also be wiped and stored safely when they are not being used.
