What type of wood are the chess pieces made of?

Sorry for the delay in responding, just catching up with my email.I cannot be sure about what type of wood the pieces are made of.It seems to be a tight-grained, light hardwood, not softwood.Looks a lot like boxwood, especially the end-grain, but again, I cannot be sure.The dark pieces appear to be of the same type of wood, but stained, not painted.

Rebecca, Mine is made entirely of bamboo. It is very well done- no warping or gaps.

Yes, each state is a puzzle piece, and each piece is made of wood. It is very nice. It's been a while, so I had to go to my closet and see if I still have this (I do not babysit my grandson anymore, because he is not in middle school). I was very happy with it, and am saving it for great grandchildren.

They are real wood. They were made in China like most things these days, and even as a carpenter I couldn't really tell you exactly what type. We are still very happy with them and they match our living room well. The only down fall is that they attract my dogs white hair really well !

They are made of wood. The seats are definitely solid wood, as advertised. Very happy with this purchase.

Yes, the pieces are made of real wood. The chairs, etc are all assembled...you don't have to put all the itty bitty pieces together.

The chess pieces vary in sizes but are around 3 inches tall and some are made of wood.

Solid wood, and very heavy wood--probably a tropical hardwood (made in Vietnam). Only the drawer bottoms and the cabinet back are not solid wood. Pretty good quality, really.

It's real wood and heavy duty. Well built. It's a little challenging to put together but I love the piece. Well worth the investment.

Thank you for your interest in the Lord of the Rings Chess Set. The board is crafted in cold cast porcelain with metal attachments and plexi-glass. Detailed Middle-earth map is sculpted beneath playing surface. It is quite heavy. Shipping weight for board and pieces is about 24lbs.

All the wooden pieces appear to be solid. The middle slat with the oval cut out is thinner than the other pieces.

It is constructed from a mix of materials. Some of the pieces are real wood and the rest is MDF (fiberboard).

I'm not sure what type of wood they specifically are, but they're a good solid wood. I've had mine for several years now and they're still in awesome condition. I use them every day.

Wood. Very sturdy if correctly assembled. Nice finish complements the keyboard.

I don't know the type of wood, but it is a hardwood. Even though the chair requires some assembly, it is very well made.

The legs appear to be a dark cherry wood finish. They would blend in with either black or brown pieces.

They are not made of wood but they are very durable. I work in a day program with adults with mental and physical disabilities. We are hard on everything that is why I love Melissa and Doug! We have had these over a year and they are in great shape! The measure about 7x7 hope this is helpful to you!
