We aim to make payment as convenient as possible. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us, and we will try to accommodate any specific requirements or requests. 

Affordable Buying: Layaway

Our luxury and electronic chess sets can be a significant investment. As such, we are happy to offer a flexible and convenient layaway program

Simply put, this allows you to purchase a product and pay for it over a period of time. We have a minimum payment limit of $300.00 US Dollars in total for layaways, but you can start your plan with a sum as little as $30.00. 

The payment can be spread out based on your preference, but it must be made in full within 12 months. 

Benefits of a Layaway Plan

Aside from spreading the cost of a purchase, our customers often choose layaway payments to:

  • Reserve a limited edition or rare product: You can ensure you obtain a specific item without having to pay the total price immediately.
  • Secure low production numbers: Some luxury chess sets can be quite rare, and a low production number increases collectability.
  • Guarantee Price: Any price increases will not affect the price of your layaway product.

Affordable Buying: How to Set Up a Layaway Plan 

The process is very simple:

  • Start by giving us a call, and we can arrange the details of your bespoke plan
  • Make an initial payment (the amount can be agreed on during the call, but must be at least $30)
  • Decide how regularly to make the following payments
  • Receive your item once the full amount is paid

If you do not receive a confirmation email or are unable to access an invoice, please get in touch, and we will assist you in resolving the issue. 

Price Ranges

Chess-related products, specifically chess sets and boards, vary widely in price. This is because of the materials used, how the boards are made, and the rarity of the finished product. 

The price of wood chessboards, for example, is partly determined by the quality and rarity of the wood used. A simple yet high-quality tournament board, made of Maple and Rosewood, costs less than $100. On the other end of the price range, our signature boards are crafted from rare, luxurious woods such as African Palisander and Bird’s Eye Maple. These handcrafted pieces are luxury items and may cost several thousand dollars. 

Chess pieces are much the same. Simple wood and plastic pieces are extremely affordable and are great options for casual play and chess clubs. On the other hand, some chess pieces are made from rarer materials, have artistic designs, and are uniquely hand-carved. 

Overall, chess products range from the simple and functional to the rare, luxurious, and collectible. Within a lower budget, many quality products are available in all kinds of categories. In the higher price range, we are proud to offer truly exceptional works of design and craftsmanship.
