Very good company to deal with, very helpful. I ordered the wrong set by mistake, they amended the order, the set I wanted was more expensive and they didn’t even charge the difference. Thank you
Had a slight problem with our item and our issue was dealt with promptly and efficiently and much to our satisfaction. Service was excellent and quality of the boards is top notch.

Heirloom Museum Qualiy Replica…
Just giving this Official Staunton Set 5 Stars would be an injustice to this amazing exact 1850 Jaques replica. I've been collecting Staunton chess sets for over 50 years and this is the most accurate replica of any Jaques set I have ever seen or owned. The awesome exquisite hand-carved knights are a sight to behold. If you placed this set next to an original 1850 Jaques set, it would be hard to tell which one is the original. An heirloom museum quality set. And the extras that come with this set: Lozenges attached to the green felt bases, the period-looking antiqued green labeled wooden box, and the Certificate of Authenticity and its related documents. WOW! I hope that every serious chess set collector takes advantage of this magnificent offering. Many thanks to Carl Miceli for offering this dream set available to collectors.

Wow — thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed review.
Coming from someone with over 50 years of collecting experience, your words truly mean the world to us. We're honoured that our 1850 Jaques replica has earned such high praise, especially in terms of its accuracy and craftsmanship. The knights are indeed something special, and we’re thrilled you appreciate the finer details — from the lozenges and period-style box to the certificate and supporting documents.
It was a real labour of love recreating this historic set with such care, and your feedback reminds us why we do what we do. Carl will be especially touched by your kind mention.
Thank you again for your support — and for recognising the value of this heirloom-quality set. We wish you many years of enjoyment with it.
Warmest regards,
The Official Staunton Chess Company Team

Excellent beech chess boxes
Excellent beech chess boxes. Excellent quality, great price, even better to get a discount for multiple purchase, fitted my chess sets perfectly, and I will be buying some more. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Quite disappointing
The site looks absolutely wonderful and is very easily navigated. However the shipping costs are outrageous for the time it takes to ship, plus I had to pay taxes which before buying wasn’t mentioned anywhere.
The pieces themselves are adequate, the vilt pads on the bottom are a very cheap looking light green and not finished too nicely, and the wood has quite a few imperfections. The details in the pieces are sometimes wonky and don’t look like they have been made with a lot of care.
If I had the opportunity to return my purchase and get back my money as well as shipping and taxes I would do so in a heartbeat sadly…
The pieces are fine, the website is fine, and everything is fine. However, for a company calling themselves official Staunton the quality and love for chess pieces is severely lacking and disappointing.

The finish is excellent, for both white and black. Weighting also exceptional. Knights very well defined with beautiful mouths.

Beautiful chess set
The chess set and separate board are beautiful and very well made. One piece had been damaged in transit. The business were great to deal with and had a replacement delivered to me in no time (and on a bank holiday) When i retuned the damaged piece, they even retuned my postage cost. I had not requested or expected that. Happy customer.

As an avid chess enthusiast
As an avid chess enthusiast, I recently acquired the Official Staunton 3.75" Staunton Classic Chess Pieces, and I must say, they exude timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship.
From the moment I opened the box, I was struck by the impeccable attention to detail. Each piece is meticulously carved with precision, boasting the iconic Staunton design.
Overall, the combination of exquisite craftsmanship, prompt delivery, and outstanding customer service makes the Official Staunton 3.75" Chess Pieces a must-have for any chess aficionado.

Superb customer services abs replacement of a slightly faulty chess board …
After receiving my Winchester integration chess set a couple of days ago, there was some kind of marking on dark square D4,
I took photos and sent them to the customer services team with an explanatory email., fully expecting that I would have to pay for the whole set to be returned in order to get a replacement sent back, Not only did the customer services team deal with my enquiry immediately (despite being around 5.30pm U.K. GMT, but they quickly said they would send me out another replacement chess board in two days and I could either keep or give away the faulty one to charity! They didn’t quibble or make me pay for returning the faulty board, in addition, Carl, the person that dealt with my emails was so professional, speedy and helpful. I cannot praise their team highly enough and I immediately got over the disappointment and stress of receiving the faulty board and the likely cost incurred of returning it. Staunton have far exceeded my expectations in every way. There would be no question of me ever going anywhere else, especially when so many other companies’ customer service departments deal with their customers so slowly and unhelpfully. In my view, Staunton has illustrated, it is a company by which all others should be measured. Justin. Bedford. Uk

Horrible Company DO NOT BUY
I purchased a chess set and they arrived completely broken, seems like it was dropshipped by some teenager in China. I contacted their support and they refused to refund me.
Don't buy this low quality mess.

Hi Chris
we don't offer next-day delivery service ?

According to courier reports, while the outer packaging had slight markings, there was no damage to the product, as noted by the driver in their comments and report.
