Dark Border – American Walnut Wall Chess Edition

Create a unique space for yourself, your guests, and your family. Show them the beauty of chess and art – proudly displayed on your wall.

10 Reasons Why It's Worth It – by Michał Fudalej

  • Perfect harmony: The chessboard, frame, and pieces are crafted from a blend of American walnut and ash wood – creating our most cohesive and aesthetically pleasing set.
  • No glue, just precision: We press-fit 264 magnets into the board and pieces (2 per piece) to ensure they stand perfectly straight and never rotate.
  • True craftsmanship: Over 60% of the work is done by hand — carefully selecting, gluing, sanding, and finishing each component with care.
  • Refined details: Engraved felt bases, UV-protected surfaces, and a final wax finish — all for a silky, pleasant touch.
  • Artistic DNA: Our board designs are created in collaboration with award-winning Polish artists.
  • Born to play: We're chess players too. This set evolved from our home to friends, to film sets... and maybe now to your living room.
  • Timeless value: Designed to last for generations — and grow in value over time.
  • Made by the founder: Michał Fudalej personally supervises and handcrafts elements of each set — it’s his dream, vision, and workshop.
  • Ready for global delivery: Custom MDF shipping boxes ensure these large, heavy sets arrive safe and sound – anywhere in the world.
  • Wall-mounted magic: Beautiful, space-saving, and functional. You can play, solve tactics, or simply admire it as a centerpiece of your room.

It creates an atmosphere. People can’t resist walking up to check: “Can I move that piece?”, “Can you actually play?”, “Is it just for decoration?” Spoiler: You can do all of that.

    I purchased the club magnetic chess set. The product is beyond my expectations in functionality and beauty. It’s a real honor to own such a product wish I had something like this years ago, but glad I have it now. Truly beautiful artwork even my spouse who doesn’t play chess absolutely loves the artistic nature and quality of the product. Excellent seller and communication. Look forward to purchasing top of the line set in the future. Although, this is almost perfect. You would swear it’s completely wood from a distance.

    I seldom shop on Etsy and was uncertain about making a purchase there, but my clock arrived quickly, was exactly as advertised, and was very well-packaged. I couldn’t ask for a better shopping experience.

    Dear Mr. Fudalej,
    I would like to inform you that the wall chessboard arrived today. Everything is fine and works.
    I really like the color of the oak wood in its dark shade. And surprisingly, it perfectly matches the color of the table.
    [...]
    Thanks again for the additional production of the chessboard. I am very happy with it, because it goes very nicely with the furniture in the living room.

    Have a nice evening and greetings,

    Matteo
