We love to hear about creative things our customers are doing with the chess supplies they buy at Wholesale Chess. Here’s one customer who has dressed up our Mini Giant Chess Set (now called 8″ Large Chess Set) to make it an exciting adventure for his grandchildren.

8" Large Chess Set

Dan started by weighing the chess pieces with a plaster fill for stability (removed base, slip filled and replaced base.) He the added his own flavor to the chess set by decorating the top of each chess piece with gold and silver beads and gold and silver cording for decoration on the base. Next, Dan mounted the flexible plastic chess board on a piece of 1/2″ plywood so it could be used inside or outside and withstand the elements. For convenience, he added a handle to make moving the board easier, and framed the chess board with aluminum strips for added flare and functionality.

Dan and his grandchildren are now learning how to play chess together and having a blast with their upgraded Mini Giant Chess Set.
