Hi. I can highly recommend the DGT Non Electronic board in walnut. It is the same size as the DGT electronic board with 55mm squares. I am on my phone but can add pics if needed. Lovely board.
You can get 2 Rechapados Ferrer boards for that money (one in walnut), or stretch it for Drueke repro in walnut.
Always LOVE seeing that contrast between the straight grain walnut and the wavy grain maple on your Non-E DGT board!
€55.74 price
€37.00 shipping to the US.
Total shipped price is still under €100 so that's not too bad.
I love the Non-E DGT board!
guys, where can i buy this Non-E DGT board?

Dgt non electronic is out of stock since December. Due to Queen's Gambit. May I know King height and base diameter of photos above.

If i may ask where did u get it for 55 euro, that would be great to know
It seems to be available on chessgamesshop website,
https://chessgamesshop.com/index.php?c=30&p=111471
do anyone have any experience with that website, because its lookin like its a scam, kinda old
chessgamesshop.com located in Slovenia is an official DGT dealer listed on the DGT site (link below). I have not ordered from them. Maybe contact them and ask a few questions before ordering if that makes you more comfortable.
Do you have some suggestion for affordable chess pieces? Also thank you very much, u helped me a lot.

Why don't the larger websites (House of Staunton etc.) carry the non-electronic board if they carry the electronic versions? It seems the non-electronic board is difficult to find and it doesn't make sense as to why that is the case.

Old and scammy looking? That site is beautiful compared to: https://www.legendproduct.com/
And Legend Products is a highly regarded vendor here. The site is so old looking and barely functioning its early 80s Retro Cool! Haha.

Since you are in England I would recommend the Chess and Bridge Online Shop. I know the owners and the GM who runs the business. Great people that know their products.
thanks

That's good to know as I've used them quite a lot. Decent prices I think.
Anyone try the RCM players choice boards?
A good bit cheaper than the JLP (which I love btw). I was also looking at that ColoradoWoodworker guy on etsy.
Not a huge fan of that DGT board. Isn’t that a veneer type board?
The DGT electronic and non-electronic boards *are* veneer but they're made by Rechapados Ferrer and they're beautiful (to me, anyway). The ColoradoWoodWorker boards are discussed (recently) in this thread:

Good luck!
