We have taken the most popular Staunton chess set of all time, the German Staunton, and used it for modeling our new, exclusive collection of marble chess sets. While most marble chess sets are largely decorative, this marble chess set has traditional Staunton pieces that players favor. Yet, the beauty of this unique chess set is a pleasure to view while just sitting awaiting the next game.
The green onyx and white marble is a beautiful combination as it creates a sharp contrast of texture and color. The colorful green onyx has red swirls creating unique and colorful patterns. The endless variation of the green onyx makes each chess set unique - there are never two alike. Whether for your self or a gift for someone special, this elegant chess set will prove a favorite that will be treasured forever.

| I recieved my chess set today and carefully inspected the board and pieces.Overall I am pleased with the set. However two of the white pawns are flat-sided and one of the green pawns is as well. It is a very attractive set though. | |

| I was shopping around online for a Staunton Chess Set that would also be a nice showpiece when I came upon this Green Onyx & White Marble one. It has been one of the best quality buys I have made at an exceptional price. Not only have I had guests compliment me on it they have also come over just to play. Even though The Chess Store is all the way on the west coast, my delivery and the customer service were great. I would definitely buy more items from here anytime. | |

| I have the smaller version of this set, with a 3" King Height, and it's a beautiful set. The marble is gorgeous, and we're looking forward to many years of fun with it. It was also well packaged and arrived quickly. I would recommend The Chess Store anytime. :-) | |

| Exquisitely beautiful. This is the type of chess set I've been wanting for years. It even comes with a protective case for the board and pieces. Word to the wise, though, this board is heavy (not the best choice for upper-shelf storage). | |
