THE STUNNING BEAUTY OF TEAK: There is nothing as beautiful as the incredible range of colors in teak. This magnificent set is sealed in a medium brown and dark brown stain and treated with high gloss polyurethane. The thick stains help protect the pieces from the effects of the sun. The full range of colors is visible through the medium stain, and the wood grain is clear through the darker stain.
THE INCREDIBLE DETAIL OF HAND-CARVED HARDWOOD: The beauty of a giant chess set comes from the level of detail hand carved into each giant chess piece. The sharply defined cross on the King. The points on the Queen's crown. The sharp, deep cut on the hat of the Bishop. The incredible detail of the mane, ears, and the downward snout of the Knight. The high-rising tines of the Rook. As you look at the details of this set, remember that each detail was crafted by hand!
CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Teak is one of earth's most weatherproof and toughest woods. Like any wood product left outdoors, your chess set must be cared for to last. Although we have cured the teak for a year before carving, it will continue to cure in your first year of ownership. While curing, protect the set from direct sun when not in use. By immediately repairing any nicks or cracks, your set will age beautifully. This set comes with felt-covered bases.
COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL: This king-size yard chess set can be displayed anywhere - big open floors, backyards, parties, campgrounds, shopping malls, schools, university and corporate campuses, cruise ships, local parks, museums - for groups of people to enjoy the complex and entertaining strategy implementation in a game of chess. Chess can become a communal experience and bring together family and friends when played out in the open on a lifesize set.
MEGACHESS QUALITY: Each MegaChess item is meticulously handcrafted by artisans to ensure it maintains its appearance and integrity in all weather conditions and with frequent long-term use. We have been manufacturing large chess and checkers sets, boards, mats, and other accessories using the highest quality standards since 2002.

Our Teak Chess Set with a 12-inch King is very popular for indoor use. Note this set comes with felt-covered bases. If you use this set outdoors and leave the set outdoors, you will want to change the base pads. In your initial year of ownership, you should protect the chess pieces from the sun when not in use. Once completely cured, the set can stay out year-round and, with proper annual maintenance, will withstand the elements very well.
Our Teak Chess Sets are not only beautiful, but they are strong and very durable! In fact, teak is one of the toughest woods on the planet! It is particularly resistant to the elements, decay, and insects due to its density and internal resins.
This is the second smallest height of our seven teak chess sets. These pieces are suitable for play indoors or outdoors but are recommended for indoor play due to the felt pads on the bases of each piece.

Today I want to discuss the key differences between 3 of our 2’ tall chess sets, our Original 25” plastic chess set, our new 26” premium plastic chess set, and our 24” fiberglass chess set.
Our original 25” plastic chess set has become a worldwide best seller because of its durability and affordability. This set is made of high-quality durable plastic and is UV protected. This set was built to last. It can withstand the roughest of elements and most abusive play. It won’t fade in the sun, get stained from dirty hands, or break if dropped, and it requires little to no maintenance to keep it looking good.
This set is not as detailed as some of or other sets but that means you don’t have to worry about any details being broken or chipped if the piece is dropped.
This set is customizable. We can add your company logo to it or turn it into an LED set so that you can play with it all night long.
This set is perfect for high traffic areas including malls, resorts, campgrounds, cruise lines, schools, as well as backyards.
Our 24” fiberglass chess set is all class.
It is a beautiful mid-range chess set in terms of price and durability but has a high level of detail.
This set is a classic Staunton style chess set with a stunning level of detail and high gloss finish which really makes it stand out. It’s made of Fiberglass, which is a lightweight, hollow material and is in the mid-range of durability. This set won’t stain or fade from being left out in the sun.
It’s the level of detail of this set which makes it so beautiful, but these details may chip or break if dropped.
This set is sturdy so it wont blow over in the wind and it is virtually maintenance free all it needs is a periodic wipe down to keep it looking shiny and new.
All of our fiberglass chess sets are customizable. We can paint these sets to color match any shade.
These sets are fantastic for our customers that want to make a statement: High end resorts, country clubs, and corporate offices. It also works great for backyards of families, but we do urge caution when children are at play.
Our new Premium 26” plastic chess set which we have dubbed “The Perfect Chess Set” is our newest product and is the perfect combination of the other two sets. It is extremely durable, highly detailed, and in the mid-range of price.
Like our Fiberglass set this is a classic Staunton Style Chess Set with a high level of detail and a clean shiny finish.
What makes this set so appealing is that it is detailed without sacrificing durability. With this set you don’t have to worry about the pieces staining, fading, or any of the details breaking or chipping from being dropped.
Unlike our 25” plastic chess set which is a two piece design this set is one solid piece, so no assembly is required. It is sturdy so it won’t blow over in the wind and it requires little to no maintenance to keep it looking brand new.
We can customize this set by adding your logo or turning it into an LED set for all night play.
This set is perfect for everyone who wants an all-round chess set. Its fantastic for shopping malls, resorts, schools, universities, and backyards of families.
Each of these chess sets is about two feet tall or knee height on an adult and will fit on squares ranging from 12” to 18” or about an 8’x8’ area to a 12’x12’ area.
To Recap:
Our 25” Original Plasticchess set is affordable and durable but lacks the details of the other sets
Our 24” Fiberglass chess set is stunningly beautiful and in the mid-range of price and durability
Our 26” Premium Plastic Chess Set is both highly detailed and highly durable and is in the mid-range of price.
