Chess Is An All Time Board Game

Written by bmlengel on November 26th, 2009

Whether you’ve got marble chess sets, wood chess sets or glass chess sets, if you’re an avid chess fan, then you simply must look at chess tables to showcase your fabulous board. Why bother having expensive chess art if you’re only going to hide it away in a dusty drawer somewhere to take out when guests come over? By having your pieces out on display, you’ll be more likely to set up a game with company and you will become a more competent player as a result. Many Americans see their specialty tables as points of pride and a reminder that they are skilled players.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive chess table, then you may want to try www.amazon.com or www.overstock.com. Amazon sells a simple Ore International Cherry Chess Table for $122.10, which is 10% less than other sellers and gives you a petite, basic piece of furniture. You can also find Ashley Furniture’s Glen Eagle Game Table for $79.99, which is a round, two-tiered table that leaves you ample room to rest your captured men and play on the built-in wood tabletop chess board comfortably. At Overstock, the waxed cherry Wilhelm Chess Table is being offered for $162.49, which is 37% off the original list price. This is a nice, thick table that looks professional and even has a practical storage drawer. Also, for $169.99, you can buy the Harley Davidson Bar and Shield 3-in-1 Game Table that includes tops for classic board games like checkers, chess and backgammon, making it ideal for the home bar or family games loving household.

Some consumers don’t mind paying a bit more for chess tables. After all, the table is a piece of furniture, and one that must blend in with its surroundings. If you have a deep mahogany living room set, for instance, then you don’t want to buy a tacky, light walnut table. At www.thebestchesstables.com, you’ll find a good selection of tables in the 0 to 0 range, with a few quality pieces below 0. The Cherry Anastasia set is their most popular seller. For 9 (or 49 including the chairs), you’ll get solid cherry construction, two felt-interior drawers, a slide-out cup holder and thoughtfully carved accents. Another popular choice is the Crackled Antique Anastasia table, which is the same price and design as the Cherry Anastasia, except the color is white/pewter instead of wood-colored.

Chess is by far the best strategy board game played in America. Chess tables are the ideal way to turn an occasional hobby into a beloved pursuit. Rather than have the chess pieces gathering dust in a closet or a drawer, why not showcase these beautiful pieces on a piece of antique furniture? When you are browsing, you should look for a solid structure that offers nice features like drawers, pawn holders, cup holders and custom carvings. You may choose to place your chess equipment outside in a garden, in a parlor or in a special games room. The bottom line is that there are tables for all styles, price ranges and needs.
