The Axis is a magnetic chess set available in three sizes. The board combines dark walnut and light maple to distinguish the squares and the two opposing sides.
Each chess piece has a magnetic base. This allows the pieces to remain positioned on their squares when the board is moved.
The playing surface features alternating dark walnut and light maple squares surrounded by a wooden frame.
The chess pieces use two contrasting tones to distinguish each side during play.
Each piece is magnetized and connects with the playing surface. The magnetic system allows the board to be repositioned without removing every piece first.
The magnets hold the pieces in place during normal use. The board should still be moved and transported with care.
The Axis is available in three board sizes:
The measurements refer to the length and width of the chessboard. Select the required size before adding the product to your cart.
The board includes integrated storage drawers. The interior contains individual fitted spaces for the chess pieces.
After use, the pieces can be returned to their respective compartments before the drawers are closed.

Product dimensions, materials and included pieces are detailed on this page, helping you choose the set that suits its recipient.
I was genuinely impressed when I opened the box. The board looks even better in person and feels substantial on the table. We've already played several games with it.
Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and he absolutely loved it. It looks beautiful enough that we've actually kept it out in the living room instead of putting it away.
The pieces have a nice feel and the board is a great size. Everything arrived well packed and in perfect condition. Very happy with my purchase.
Exactly what I wanted for our coffee table. It doesn't feel like something that needs to be stored after every game. The finish is really nice.
My son and I have been playing almost every evening since it arrived. The board feels sturdy and the pieces are comfortable to play with.
I ordered it for my dad and ended up wanting one for myself. It has a clean, classic look and the details are much nicer than I expected.
Shipping was straightforward and the set arrived safely. The size works perfectly on my desk and I really like how the pieces look against the board.
This was my first proper chess set after years of using a basic plastic board. The difference is huge. Playing on it feels much more enjoyable.
Purchased for our game room and it fits in perfectly. The board has a very clean look and we've gotten several compliments on it already.
I spent a while comparing different sets before choosing this one. I'm glad I did. It feels well made and looks great sitting out between games.
Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas. The presentation was beautiful and he started playing with it immediately. Definitely one of the better gifts I've bought.
Great set for playing at home. The proportions feel right, the board sits nicely on the table and everything was exactly as described.
My daughter recently started learning chess, so I wanted something we could both enjoy using. This has been perfect for our weekend games.
I like that it works as both a game and something decorative. We leave ours on a side table and guests always end up starting a game.
Arrived well protected and there was no damage at all. I've used it almost every day since. Very pleased with the overall look and feel.
The set has become a permanent part of our living room. My kids use it, my friends use it, and it still looks great when nobody is playing.
Really happy with this purchase. It feels like a proper chess set without being overly formal, and it's become something we actually use instead of just storing away.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Essential information to help you choose and care for your Pandhess chess set.
Compare the board dimensions, piece design, materials and storage features shown for each product. If space is important, check the full board dimensions before ordering. Some models are folding, while others use a fixed board.
No. Features vary by model. If a chess set has magnetic pieces, this is stated in its product description or specifications. If magnetic pieces are not listed, do not assume that the set is magnetic.
The contents can vary between models. Check the product description and specifications for the chess set you are viewing to confirm the number of pieces, storage arrangement and any model-specific features.
Use a soft, dry or non-abrasive cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents. Keep the set away from prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat.
