About The JLP Signature Chess Table in Walnut Maple Hardwoods

Handmade in the U.S. by fifth-generation wood craftsman John, the JLP Signature Table represents a new chapter in a decade-long collaboration. After twelve years and more than thirty products developed together, this pedestal design is the most elegant table we've made and the first in the JLP line to depart from the traditional four-leg approach.

The sculpted walnut legs bow outward and meet at a center point, creating a silhouette that is as striking as furniture art as it is functional as a chess table. The rotating hardwood surface allows either player to set up pieces from their side — simply turn the top to face your opponent. No tools, no assembly. Ready to admire immediately after unboxing.

Solid walnut and maple throughout, no veneers. Built to last and built to be noticed. If you already own a JLP chessboard, it pairs perfectly with this table. If not, choose the JLP board you love and add it with your purchase.

Each JLP product includes the producer's signature card and care instructions, signifying the close partnership between John and Chess House.

An incredible work of art - STUNNING!

Reviews of 5 stars just aren’t sufficient to describe something like this - the table is absolutely incredible, the mixture of walnut and maple gives it such elegance.

The top rotates, ideal for studying positions! It’s such a great side table, and doesn’t scream “CHESS” until you deploy a board - which is fantastic for those with spouses who may be slightly long-suffering!

Incredible. Worth double the amount.

Nice but could be better

Table is well crafted, but the rotating mechanism is cheaply made. The ball bearing races are sheet metal with unlubricated balls making for a noisy rotation, and it is evident that not the entire raceway is filled with balls—plenty are missing. A heavy grease filling would've made the entire mechanism silent while still providing enough friction to keep the top from spinning freely.
A brake to lock the top in a particular position with respect to the legs would've been nice to have but is absent from the design. A simple shaft clamp with press down lever would've accomplished the trick.
Other than that, the whole thing is a bit smaller than I expected, but that's my fault because the dimensions are clearly specified. Overall nice but pricey for what you get.

Just what we needed for chess games with the grand kids.
Very well made and stylish.
