About Staunton Europe No. 5 Chess Set Weighted Pieces Black

Staunton Europe No. 5 Chess Set Weighted Pieces Black pairs glossy Staunton Europa No. 5 pieces in a natural/black colorway with a sleek, modern board designed to feel compact without playing small. The chessboard uses sycamore veneer for the light squares and stained black for the dark squares, creating crisp contrast that stays easy on the eyes.

A key detail is the thin frame: it allows a 40 cm board to feature a generous 48 mm square size, making the set comfortable to play with and well-matched to larger pieces than you would normally expect on a board of this footprint.

For storage, everything fits into a premium cardboard case, with the pieces separated by foam so they do not touch each other—helpful for preserving the glossy finish over time.

Why this set stands out

• Weighted guatambu wood pieces for stability and confident handling

• Sycamore + black-stained board surface for a clean, modern aesthetic

• Thin frame design: compact board size with roomy 48 mm squares
