Handcrafted in Europe Designed for wall play Ships worldwide

Step 1

Choose Your Board

Your board defines the entire character of the final set. This is where you choose the scale, material feeling, and visual presence of the piece in your interior. Some options feel more architectural and minimal, while others feel warmer, more classic, or more expressive. Start with the board that feels right in the room — everything else can be built around it.

Step 2

Choose Your Pieces (Optional)

Pieces are optional, but they transform the board from a strong visual object into a fully playable wall chess system. Choose them if you want everyday play, analysis, or a complete gift-ready set. If you prefer to begin with the board alone, you can always return and add pieces later.

Step 3

Pick Your Finish (Optional)

Piece Upgrades

Upgrades let you refine the final character of the set. This is where the project becomes more personal, more tactile, and more aligned with the way you want it to look and feel in daily use.

Custom Engraving (Select any combination)

Engraving adds a more intimate or commemorative dimension to the board. It works especially well for gifts, milestone pieces, private dedications, or selected corporate projects where the board becomes part of a story, not only an object.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about custom magnetic wall chess sets and personalization options.

Q1: Do I need to buy a complete chess set, or can I order just the wall chess board? +

No – you don't need to buy a complete set. The configurator is built around the board as the core piece, but adding magnetic chess pieces and personalisation options is entirely optional. Many customers order the wall chess board alone as a decorative chess wall art piece, then add pieces later. Others configure a fully playable magnetic chess set from the start.

Q2: What is the difference between solid wood and plywood magnetic chess pieces? +

Our solid wood chess pieces (ash and walnut) are handcrafted from premium hardwood with natural wax finish – ideal for elegant home interiors and heirloom gifts. The plywood pieces offer a graphic, durable alternative better suited for high-traffic spaces like schools, chess clubs, or active family homes. Both options are specifically designed with embedded magnets to stay securely on the vertical chess board during real play.

Q3: Can I add magnetic chess pieces to my wall chess board later? +

Yes. If you start with just the board, you can order matching magnetic chess pieces separately at any time. Every board in the ChessboArt range is engineered with a compatible magnetic surface, so upgrading your wall chess set is always straightforward.

Q4: Are the magnets strong enough to hold chess pieces on a vertical wall during real play? +

Yes – and this is one of the most important distinctions of ChessboArt. Our boards are designed from the ground up for vertical wall play, not adapted from flat boards. The embedded magnetic system holds every piece firmly in place while still allowing smooth, natural movement during an actual game or analysis session. The system has been tested for daily use on walls.

Q5: How long does it take to make and ship a custom wall chess set? +

Most boards and pieces in our range are made to order, with a standard production time of approximately 6 weeks. Ready-to-ship configurations (if available) dispatch within about 1 week. Adding epoxy resin finishing, custom colour fill, or laser engraving typically adds up to 1 extra week. Delivery time after dispatch depends on your location – we ship worldwide from Europe.

Q6: Can I personalise a wall chess board with an engraving or logo? +

Yes. We offer three engraving options for our wall chess boards: front text engraving (name, date, or quote), front logo engraving (company logo or club insignia), and a hidden back dedication (longer personal message). Engraving transforms the board into a personalised chess gift, a corporate gift, or a family heirloom. Each option is precision-engraved by hand on the wooden frame.

Q7: Where are ChessboArt wall chess boards made? +

All ChessboArt boards are handcrafted in Europe from solid wood or ash veneer. We use responsibly sourced hardwoods – primarily walnut and ash – and finish each piece by hand. Every order is made to your specification.

Q8: What size is the wall chess board, and how does it mount on the wall? +

The standard ChessboArt board measures 800×800 mm and includes an invisible built-in mounting system. No visible brackets or hardware – the board hangs flat against the wall with a clean, gallery-style finish. Mounting hardware and instructions are included.

Q9: Is a wall chess board a good gift idea? +

Yes – a personalised wall chess board is one of the most distinctive gifts for chess players, interior design enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted objects. Options like custom engraving, epoxy resin colour fill, and choice of wood make every set unique. We ship worldwide with gift packaging available.
