Pause tonight. Resume on Sunday.
Magnetic Maple Chess Set with Storage Drawers
A great game begins long before the first move. It begins with the board it is played on.
Every piece of The Vault is magnetised. Carry the board mid-game from the dining table to the sofa — or pause tonight and resume on Sunday — and every piece stays exactly where you left it.
At 32 × 32 cm in warm maple, it earns a permanent place in the living room: an object worth leaving out, compact enough to put away without a thought. The integrated drawers keep all thirty-two pieces in their place. Nothing to hunt for, nothing rolling under the furniture — open, play, close.

Storage
Every piece has a place.
Integrated drawers slide out from beneath the board, with a place for all thirty-two pieces. Nothing to hunt for, nothing rolling under the furniture. Open, play, close.
Magnets
The game holds.
Every piece is magnetised. Carry the board from the dining table to the sofa mid-game, or pause tonight and resume on Sunday, and the position stays exactly where you left it.
Under 30 cm is a travel board. Around 30 to 39 cm is the living-room size, generous enough for a comfortable game and composed enough to stay out. From 44 cm upwards you are in full-size territory. Our Choosing Your Board guide puts all eight sets side by side.
On our magnetic sets, yes. Every piece is magnetised, so you can lift the board mid-game, carry it to the sofa or pack it away and the position holds. On our metal and crystal sets the pieces are weighted rather than magnetic: they sit firmly on the square, and the board is meant to stay on the table.
It is the gift that gets kept out. Most MONOLITH sets are chosen as objects first and games second: they live on a coffee table, a sideboard or a desk, and get played when the mood strikes. A full 32-piece set comes with every board.
Pieces are secured in their compartments or wrapped individually, the board is protected on every face, and the set ships in a double-walled outer box. Every order is dispatched with tracking.
