Handmade Tunisian Olive Wood Chess Set with Drawers and Wonky Legs

This Handmade Tunisian Olive Wood Chess Set with Drawers, Rustic Board, and Wonky Legs is the kind of piece that stops you mid-scroll—it’s a little slice of rustic magic you’ll want in your home. The olive wood’s from Tunisia, where old trees have soaked up the sun and sea air for decades, turning the wood this rich, golden shade that feels like it’s holding onto a summer day. The board’s edges are jagged and rough, with knots and cracks that make me think of olive groves where you’d sit under a tree, eating bread with oil. It’s propped up on these wonky little legs—honest to goodness, they’re a bit lopsided, and that’s what makes it so charming. There are two drawers under the board, scratched up but just right for hiding the pieces when you’re not playing—no more losing those knights! The pieces are my favorite, though. They’re heavy, a little chipped at the edges, like they’ve been through a few games already, and they smell faintly of the wood, earthy and warm. You can setting this up on Your porch on cool evenings, the kind where you can hear crickets and the wood catches the sunset just so. It’s sturdy—olive wood doesn’t mess around, and you can wiped clean with a damp cloth, good as new. It’s sustainable, too, like you’re doing a small good thing for the world. If you’re after a chess set that feels like it’s got a soul—or a gift for someone who loves things that aren’t too perfect—this one’s got a rustic charm that pulls you in.
