Plaster opens the door to a whole new way to look at large chess pieces. You can get them:

1.) Unfinished, so you or your school, club, or art class can finish them as you wish.

2.) Finished by our artisans, so you can play chess or decorate your place right out of the box.

Qty is the total quantity per piece on one side.

Width is the diameter of the base and Height is the distance from the base to the highest part of the piece, all measured in inches.

Weight is the weight of each single piece in pounds. The total weight is for the 16 chess pieces of a single side of the game, not including shipping materials.

All measurements are accurate to ±15%

Click the plaster finish to the left that strikes your fancy. And check back often — this will be one of the fastest growing sections of our website.

Because the design of the pieces is common to our teak set, you can even mix and match with those. Tip: Keep the beauty of teak's grain for one side and get the faux rock (granite, marble, etc.) for the other.



Who paints these?
We began our faux finishing efforts under the wings of renowned experts like Roger Merrill and Maria Radnoti. We have transitioned to the craft support program of United Community Outreach, a local ministry for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. Under the guidance of Maria and Roger, the disciples (yea, that's how they're called) regain some of their self-respect and self-worth by creating things of beauty with their own hands.
Are you a budding artist?
Buy some Unfinished plaster pieces, do your best and we'll try to feature them on MegaChess.com.
Do you have an idea for a finish you don't see?
Ask the Expert about it and we'll go through our network of artisans to see who would be best at producing it.


To reduce their weight, all plaster pieces are hollow, but thick enough not to be fragile. Like all plaster, however, they will break if you drop them on a hard floor.



Note that plaster MegaChess sets are sold one side (of 16 pieces) at a time. This allows you to mix and match the decor of the light and dark sides in combinations of your own choosing.
