THE STUNNING BEAUTY OF TEAK: Teak's stunning color range is highlighted in a set sealed with medium and dark brown stains and protected with high-gloss polyurethane for durability against the sun THE INCREDIBLE DETAIL OF HAND-CARVED HARDWOOD: The beauty of this giant chess set lies in the intricate hand-carved details: the sharp cross on the King, points on the Queen's crown, deep cuts on the Bishop's hat, and meticulously crafted Knight's features. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Teak is one of earth's most weatherproof and toughest woods. Like any wood product left outdoors, your chess set must be cared for to last. Although we have cured the teak for a year before carving, it will continue to cure in your first year of ownership. While curing, you must protect the set from direct sun when not in being used. During the first year, the set can not be left out in the sun all day, even if it is in use. By immediately repairing any nicks or cracks, your set will age beautifully. COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL: Corporate customers, such as resorts and malls, may find teak sets challenging to maintain. During the first year, they need periodic sun exposure but not all day. Like all wood products, regular maintenance is essential for longevity.
