Why You’ll Love It
No More Lost Pawns
Every piece has its own spot. The pull-out drawer is lined with soft velvet and shaped with a slot for each piece, so after the game everything goes straight back where it belongs. Pieces don't roll around, knock into each other or disappear under the couch. Close the drawer and the whole set is one neat box: no extra bag, no loose pieces at the back of a cupboard.
Everything in One Box
The board and the storage are one piece. Open the drawer, set up, play. When you are done, slide the pieces back in and close it. With kids at home, the set stays complete game after game. It is just as easy to carry from the coffee table to the office or the cabin.
A Smooth Surface for Every Move
The playing surface is finished by hand to be smooth and even, so pieces glide from square to square without catching. It feels as good to play on as it looks. A comfortable, steady board lets you focus on the game, not on the pieces.
Metal Pieces You Can Feel
Light plastic pieces slide and tip over. These are metal, so every move has a solid, satisfying weight; in the 14.9" set the King stands 8 cm (3.1") tall and the full set weighs about 2 kg (4.4 lb). The classic shapes are easy to read at a glance, so beginners and experienced players both know every piece instantly.
A Handcrafted Case with an Inlaid Border
The wooden case is made by artisans in Türkiye, with a decorative inlaid border around the board and along the drawer front. No two cases are exactly alike: small variations in the wood are part of their character. It is the kind of detail you notice every time you open it.
A Centerpiece in Your Colors
Choose a black, blue or red board and pair it with gold & silver, black & silver or copper & silver pieces. Because the pieces store inside, the set looks tidy even when no one is playing. Between games it is decor; on game night it is the main event. Tap an option above to see that exact combination.
Make It Theirs with Personal Engraving
Add a name, initials or a meaningful date to the board and the set becomes a keepsake. It is the gift that gets kept and played for years, not put away. Perfect for birthdays, graduations, Father's Day, retirements and the holidays. We confirm your engraving with you by email before production. Personalized items are made just for you, so they can't be returned.
Free, Tracked Delivery to Your Door
Orders ship within 24 hours on business days, free to any US address with a tracking number, so you always know where your order is. Typical delivery is 4-6 business days from your order. Personalized orders ship as soon as you approve your engraving. Questions before or after you order? Email us at ketohandcraft@gmail.com and we will help.

WHY A REAL BOARD
Chess Is Booming. Play It Face to Face.
Most of those games happen on a screen. A real board brings the game back to the table: no notifications, no batteries, just two players and a set you keep for years.

From a Workshop, Not a Factory
Each set starts as raw wood in our partner workshop. Artisans cut the board, inlay the border and finish it by hand before the pieces are added. The result is a set with weight, warmth and character you cannot get from a mass-produced board.
