Maple Landmark Basic Checker/Chess Board - Made in USA

Nicely finished and well made. Appreciate the quality of a product made in the USA!

Just wanted a nice and simple chess board to have in my house- It's simple, easy to just store away, and a good size.

This is just a great chess board. Love that it is made in the US. Very sturdy and straight, no bow or twisting whatsoever. All the edges are well sanded, the clear spray finish is well applied, and the printed checked pattern is clean, solid, and sharp. High quality American product, very satisfying.The only drawback is that the board will scuff surfaces it is used on. In my second picture l applied leftover adhesive felt and it completely solves the issue. 4 simple round pads in the corner would fix it, $2 at the most. Absolutely recommend this board, great quality, great size, and keeps Americans employed.My third picture shows it with chess pieces bought here on Amazon as well, check my review on those. The king is 3 1/4" tall and the bases are 1" diameter. As you can see this board is large enough to handle almost any chess set and do so with understated style.

The board is sturdy and elegant in its simplicity. Great match for my vintage Ganine GOTHIC chess set I just acquired. The down side is the horrible packaging done by AMAZON. Board is wrapped in thin plastic (not even in a box) by manufacturer, so I received the board in an oversized box with one sheet of paper stuffed over the top of the board not even wrapped around it. Shocked board wasn't damaged in transit, the corners are chamfered (no sharp edges) otherwise I'm sure something have been damaged. I've previously purchased a larger board from another company which while more expensive, at least protected their board for shipping. Roll the dice and take your chances.

Sturdy and large! Great board!
