What stays the same across all builds
- Magnetic & wall-mounted — pieces hold reliably on vertical surfaces.

- Care kit & mounting hardware included with boards.
- Handmade in the EU — solid craftsmanship, made to last.
Pro tips
- Ordering extra queens/knights/kings? When you add resin fills, we include fills for the extra pieces at no extra charge.
- Solid Wood vs Plywood pieces: same silhouette and felt backing; Solid Wood shows natural grain and logo on felt; Plywood is stain-and-lacquer finished and very impact-resistant — great for schools and bars.
FAQ
Is the board ready to hang?
Yes. Boards include integrated wall-mount brackets and a care guide.
Do resin fills change magnet strength?
No. Fills are poured into shallow recesses and finished flush. The magnet layout and holding force remain unchanged.
Can I mix Solid Wood and Plywood pieces?
Yes. The silhouette and magnet layout are unified (since Oct 2025), so all piece sets are cross-compatible.
