From our customers

★★★★★
The chessboard arrived unbelievably quickly, and was well packaged with minimum plastic. The board and pieces are attractive with nice detail, and it seems to be of good quality. I bought it for my husband for his birthday, and he's very happy with it.

Lovely 14’ travel chess set - top quality and beautifully packaged even came with a felt bag for out of box protection. Item as advertised and the website photos don’t do it proper justice as is often the case with distance purchases of this kind of item. Ordered on Monday and shipped same day- arrived Thursday as Courier sat on it for 2 days at the delivery depot.

Beautiful chess set purchased for my husband’s birthday - he was thrilled with it. We have started playing with it and it is a pleasure to use - the pieces delicately carved and an excellent weight. It arrived on time and very well packed - each piece individually wrapped and the heads of the more delicate prices protected. Would definitely recommend Chessmaze.

Having watched some of my students playing chess during their breaks last year I was inspired to learn to play myself.

As a furniture maker who teaches courses on marquetry I decided to make my own board, but I wanted a set of pieces that match the quality my clients expect from my work.

Chessmaze were helpful from the start and were able to advise on a suitable piece size for the board I had planned.

Communication and dispatch were timely and faultless and within a couple of days I was excited to open my new set.

They were well packaged individually but economically.

The quality exceeded my expectations and they are a perfect match for the board.

I bought the 3.5”Black Queens Gambit set.

On receipt of my chess set, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Unfortunately, I then found a small but noticeable chip on one side of the board. Somewhat disgruntled, I emailed the company wondering what hassle confronted me. I needn't have been concerned. I received an immediate and friendly response and was in receipt of a replacement board within 48 hours. A fine chess set, first-class service and excellent value for money. Certainly to be recommended.
