A Rather Good Chess Set That Actually Looks Rather Good

Look, we're not entirely sure how we ended up with a chess set that's both properly handsome and actually functional, but here we are. This octagonal beauty in polished acacia wood manages the rather impressive feat of sitting beautifully on your coffee table whilst somehow convincing you to play chess on it. Which, let's be honest, is marvellous.

Why Choose Our Octagonal Magnetic Chess Game

  • Magnetic board keeps pieces steady: No more apologising when someone accidentally nudges your knight. The magnetic pieces stay put during casual play, which is rather reassuring when you're three moves deep and contemplating your life choices.
  • Polished acacia wood with natural grain: Each board reveals its own tonal variations beneath the smooth finish. It's the kind of detail that makes people think you've got your act together, even if you haven't.
  • Cedar wood pieces with fabric lined storage: The chessmen are beautifully crafted from natural cedar, nestled in a soft green fabric drawer that keeps everything organised and properly protected between games.
  • Doubles as stylish decor: The compact octagonal shape sits rather fetching on a coffee table, console, or study shelf. Between matches, it simply becomes an elegant accent piece that doesn't whisper awkwardly about itself.
  • Fabulously made for everyday use: This isn't precious furniture that demands white gloves. It's built for actual play, actual living, and the occasional spill (though we won't tell if you're careful).

Product Details

  • Board material: Solid acacia wood with polished finish
  • Pieces: Natural cedar wood construction
  • Storage: Integrated drawer with soft fabric lining
  • Shape: Octagonal design for distinctive presence
  • Finish: Smooth polished surface highlighting natural wood grain
  • Best suited to: Coffee tables, study credenzas, consoles, and room shelves

This is the sort of chess set that invites people to actually sit down and play. Pair it with a leather tray and brass lamp for warmth, or simply let it stand alone as the rather splendid centrepiece it was born to be. Don't let this one pass you by.

SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!


RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY
:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

PAYMENT

We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.

Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
