Qty is the total quantity per piece, black and white.
Each chess set ships with the regulation 32 pieces. Width is
the diameter of the base, and Height is the distance from the base to
the highest part of the piece, each measured in inches. Weight is the
weight of each single piece. Everything is accurate to ±15%. The total
weight is for all 32 chess pieces, not including shipping
materials. |

Yes, we have matching teak
chess boards and teak Mega Checkers! |
 Rain, sleet, snow -- No problem

Because the design of the pieces is common to our
plaster sets, 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. |

Rubber Tree Wood?
As described in our environmental statement about
Teak and Rain Forests, we now have the
dark side of this MegaChess set made by the same village artisans, but
out of surplus rubber tree wood instead of teak.

Pricing Note
As of this writing, teak lumber sells for $8/lb at most
hardwood retailers in the US. That will go up over time. A large teak
MegaChess set sells for a fraction of this raw material cost.
Considered as an investment, the value of a teak
MegaChess set doesn't depreciate it goes up in value as teak
grows more scarce. After over a thousand years, a chess set is not going to go
out of style. A MegaChess set has no moving parts, hence nothing to wear
out. It will be a family treasure to pass down through many generations.
A MegaChess set is like buying gold that you can
enjoy! |
When planning a playing area, consider
the minimum size of the square of a chessboard as the diameter of the base of
the king (11 inches). The common standard for tile that size is a 12" square,
yielding a chessboard 8 feet on each side.
To transport the entire MT24 chess set, plan on about 14 cubic
feet, which fills up two child's wagons as in the above picture.
