The House of Staunton Recensioni 

I have purchased several chess boards, a Zagreb lacquered set of pieces, and books and other items. When I have had a need for customer service it has been great. There is no reason not to choose House of Staunton for your chess needs.

High-quality chess products at reasonable prices. User friendly website to navigate.

Always answered questions helped when i needed replacement chess pieces, my only wish is a drop in price with the better chess boards.. but i know its not your fault, love evertthing i purchased from you thank you

The people at HOS is what makes the purchase special - whether in person or by phone or over the internet! They go the "extra mile" to make sure you are happy with your purchase! For a person who has been there since they started the business & have some of their first offerings, I have always found that even when there was a problem, they wanted to find a way to satisfy the customer. There may be more competition for your dollar our there today, but the business model started by Frank Camaratta & his product innovations have changed the world of chess & live on today!!

House of Staunton remains one of the premier providers of chess pieces in the world. Their craftsmanship is unmatched, their resources consistently excellent, and their service always prompt and professional. A true benchmark in the chess community. I’ve purchased luxury chess pieces, boxes, and boards from House of Staunton and have always been pleased with them. I highly recommend House of Staunton!!

I have purchased plastic chess sets with roll-up boards on several occasions for our chess club. They have always been good quality and I have had prompt delivery. I purchased a wooden Staunton-style wooden chess set and board that are of the highest quality and finish. Great products and great service.

You carry virtualy everything I could want in the chess world. Your shipping is always on the spot, you have great deals and great communication.

Love getting a flash sale for 30% off regular priced items. I'm tempted enough to look for items I might otherwise not look for. Sure enough, I found chess pieces from my favorite series in a combination of colors I don't have. With 30% off and free ground shipping, I will soon have another set to add to my collection.
Thank you HOS!

Fast shipping, best products. For chess players, by chess players!

Fast shipping, great products. Once a wooden piece I ordered from them cracked a few days after I received it. They replaced it immediately after I informed them of this with no hassle or extra cost to me.

HOS has a wide variety of products which meet my chess needs for chess sets and books. Always a varied selection with periodic sakes fir substantial savings. Their customer service has always been responsive and shipping is very quick getting product out the door. I would rate them a perfect 10!

The first thing I ordered was a sort of "bucket list" chess set, a fine quality ebony and boxwood set that I also purchased the large coffer for to keep it safe. The quality and workmanship were superb and I couldn't have been more pleased. Not quite a year later I noticed that one of the tiny points on the King's rather delicate finial had chipped, possibly due to the humidity where I live. I sent them a photo of my King, and they sent me a replacement. couldn't ask for more from the customer service. Over the years they have been nothing but an excellent experience.

I have been dealing with the HOS for many years. Their products are well packaged/protected and arrive as scheduled. Also highly regarded is their service.....questions and suggestions are answered/provided quickly and courteously, always keeping the "customer first" attitude in mind. Overall, an excellent company to deal with!

Great products with quick delivery.

great staff, competitive pricing.

I recently purchased several items from this website, and I’m very impressed with both the quality of the products and the overall shopping experience.

Stay away Don't Buy The House of Staunton Chess Pieces - Terrible Customer Service

I got the Imperial Chess set as a Christmas gift from my wife. Information is below

I bought a chess set from House of Staunton that remained sealed in its original box for about five months while we were remodeling our room. When I finally opened it, everything appeared fine. The set then sat untouched as a decorative piece until the present day.

Recently, I noticed a crack on one of the pieces. I contacted customer service and was told the set was out of warranty because it had been over a year since purchase, regardless of the fact that it had barely been used. Their solution? Pay $25 per piece for replacements. I reluctantly bought one, only to find another piece cracked shortly after. This really pissed me off.

To make it worse, they started lecturing me about the need for humidity and temperature control, neither of which was ever mentioned at the time of purchase. No mention of this on their website, at least not easily found. If their products are so fragile that they crack just sitting on display, that should be disclosed clearly! I don't want to have to keep a humidity and temperature-controlled room for my chess set. I would have never told my wife I was interested in this chess set if I knew this was the case.

For the price they charge, I expected much better quality and far more support. This will be my last purchase from House of Staunton ever. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company.

SKU: MENWIMP44-MENWIMP44-AJ-CThe Imperial Collector Series Luxury Chess Pieces - 4.4" King  1 $599.00 ***Select Wood*** 1 x Anjan and Natural Boxwood

Bought clearance Tahl II pieces via the chesscomshop. I received them in less than a week (The Netherlands). I had to pay €17 extra customs clearance costs.

One bishop had a tilted head. The HOS customs worker quickly sent a new bishop and paid the customs clearance.

Great service, awesome pieces!

I ordered an expensive set (Savano luxury 4.4') in blood rosewood, and found the pieces to be dyed counterfeits:

- A wet wipe easily soaked substantial amounts of stain of every piece, especially unsealed surfaces.
- The stain was magenta coloured, probably to combine with the wood's natural colour to produce a brownish red.
- The pieces had none of Pterocarpus soyauxii's natural pleasant odour.
- The knight's top can be screwed off. The wood was estimated to be too light for Padauk/blood rosewood's natural density.
- Colour bleeding is possible in small amounts as oil stains or in alcohol solvents. The stains were neither of these.
- My family and I found the chemical dye's smell sickening, and are leaving the chess set outside.

Requesting a return based on these explanations, I received the reply "In regard to the wood species, the dark army was indeed manufactured from padauk/blood rosewood."

I cannot leave pictures here, but will on other websites.

Just purchased the DGT Projects Electronic Chess Board (E-Board) with Bluetooth Connection, DGT Projects - Royal Chess Pieces (Rosewood) and the DGT Projects PI Digital Chess Clock. Items sent to Australia from USA, arrived quickly and extremely well packaged. Items as described. Yet to set up but all looks very good.
