Protecting your chess pieces starts with the right container. Choose a compact loose-piece box for everyday sets, or upgrade to a single or two-tray wood case with soft felt or baize lining for added protection. Popular finishes include walnut, mahogany, black, and bird’s-eye maple to match your board. Consider interior space for bases and kings’ heights, plus closures that keep pieces secure between games. If you travel, a lighter option pairs well with bags; for display, classic wood cases offer a refined look. Find the chess storage box that suits your playing style and storage needs.
