5 Tips for Buying the Ideal Chess Set

Over 30 years of helping people shop for their ideal set, here are 5 things that I've learned matter most.

1. Make sure the store staff are able to support you with replacements pieces for your chess set months or years in the future. Is the company easy to reach by email and phone? 
2. Check the store reputation in the form of ratings and reviews. With a company like Chess House, the team is dedicated to your success and capable of addressing any situation that might arise. Are the return policies generous?
3. You often won't recognize inferior quality until you've had a chance to compare chess sets. We constantly vet suppliers and often pay extra to work with manufacturers who produce the "same" item but approach the market in a more ethical way or with better quality standards.
4. Get a personalized recommendation. This chess sets guide may be exactly what you need to help you make a choice on your first or fifth set. But if you're ever wondering, just ask our friendly team. We'll be happy to listen to your unique interests or needs and help you make an informed choice. 
5. Avoid overpriced items. By comparing, you'll often find that Chess House prices on chess sets are a better deal along with value that tends to be higher. There are a lot of new sellers in the past few years who might not have have a long term interest in your success.
