FAQ
Product Information
How should I care for my Chess Set?
Keep the set safe from water and splashes to maintain its integrity. Clean dust using only a soft dust brush to avoid damage. Prevent the pieces from falling to the ground to ensure they remain intact. Avoid hitting the white pieces with the black pieces and vice versa, as this can cause discoloration or marks. Handle the set with care, as it is primarily intended for decorative purposes.
Why are there small bubbles in the chess pieces or board?
All of our chess sets are handcrafted, making each one truly unique. As a result of the production process, you may notice small air bubbles or slight imperfections in the pieces or board. These are a natural part of the handmade design and are not considered defects. Instead, they highlight the craftsmanship and individuality of each set, making your chess set one-of-a-kind. Please note that this is not a reason for returns or exchanges.
