Hi Frank:

Thank you so much for making the Sultan set for me in Ebony! I am extremely excited about owning this set. Besides it's aesthetic appeal it will be one of only two sets made and therefore unique.

As I have mentioned in the past, your sets are second to none in terms of quality and workmanship. This coupled with your honesty, integrity and excellent customer service make doing business with you even more enjoyable and rewarding. In fact after purchasing my first set from the House of Staunton, I haven't bought a set from any other vendor. The quality of their sets and customer service pales in comparison to yours. In my opinion, your sets are the standard to which all others should be compared. Just to let you know (my wife doesn't know yet..lol) I have six House of Staunton sets on my "wish list" that I'd like to procure over the next two years!

On another subject, thanks for the information regarding the chess table delivery.

I saw the nice picture of you and your wife in the recent issue of Chess Life. I was planning on going to the auction in Philadelphia but something came up and I couldn't make it.

Take good care and have a great weekend Frank.

Sincerely,

H R
Frank:

I just received the Tournament Superior Collector set today. It is more beautiful than the pictures on the website can depict it. The weight is perfect and the pieces are so gracefully proportioned. I can't thank you enough, the set exceeds all my expectations. It is a delight to look at and will add immensely to my enjoyment of the game. I am very aggressive, too aggressive when I play, and the beauty of these pieces has given me something to really look at. The set has slowed my play enough to consider a longer series of moves, as I simply enjoy the looking at your graceful chess pieces. I am delighted, thank you very much.

I 'm sure this won't be the only set I purchase from you.

Best regards,

D F
Thanks so much, the set arrived so quickly, it seemed like it took just 2 days. The packing was wonderful, and the set itself is just absolutely gorgeous. Next to the Isle of Lewis set, these Knights have to be my favorites ( I don't play, I just look at the pretty pieces while my husband and daughters play...can you tell?)

Thanks again, I'll leave very positive feedback.

I've heard the saying: You Get What You Pay For!. Well, in the case of, The House Of Staunton, That is absolutely false. I received My Rosewood Collector Series chess set; My Sandalwood Capablanca Series chess set and my Rosewood Custom Contemporary chessboard today, packaged like fine china would be, on a long journey. I am totally impressed with the service, and of course the product. Never, have I seen a more carefully made set of chess pieces. And the mahogany case & box are exquisite. I feel as though I've robbed The House of Staunton. These two sets, along with the board could easily have sold for much more than I paid. My deepest thanks to, The House Of Staunton & Mr. Frank A. Camaratta, Jr. for treating me to first class service & to a first class product, A product that I will value for a long, long time.

Thank You Very Much

P.S. I would like to order two additional queens for my Collector series Rosewood set & a few extra finials for both sets, in case of breakage. Please give me the necessary instructions & prices.

Thanks Again,

Hi Frank - couple of things. First, I received a check in the mail from you for a shipping refund of $15.00. Thank you very much! Most people would have just kept the extra. You realize now you have a customer for life!

Also, I was wondering if there were any special care instructions for the Ebony/boxwood collector chessman. Edmonton is a very dry climate, especially in the winter time! Any advice you could offer (cleaning, storage, etc.) would be very much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Hello again Frank & Donna - Murphy's Law - the set just arrived at 9:05pm local time! I guess they did just forget to scan it after all. I have inspected all the pieces and they are all just brilliant. An extremely impressive chess set. Your pictures on your web site and in the auction do not do them justice. Thank you for you attention to detail in both the creation of the pieces, as well as the thorough and careful packaging! Can't wait for next Xmas when I will get one of your boards.

I will be leaving positive feedback for you on Ebay -if you would do the same for me I would appreciate it.

Thanks again!!

I wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you that the Plastic Collector series far surpasses my expectations. It is a pleasure to play with this wonderful set!

Dear Frank---

My ebony Collector Series set (along with the board I ordered) arrived today and it exceeded my expectations. What beautiful design and workmanship! You're providing a wonderful service to those who appreciate quality in chess equipment, and have enabled me to fulfil a long-time dream of owning a perfect embodiment of the classic Staunton pattern.

best wishes,

Frank,

I received the Zagreb rosewood chess set last night. The craftsmanship is amazing! It really surpassed my expectations. I'll leave very positive feedback on ebay.

Thanks again!

Dear Frank,

Mr. W. was very pleased with the Club Ivory set and board! Thank you very much for making this possible. I suspect that other sales will result from this one. Thanks again.

Hi Frank,

This is S. from Italy, the set has arrived today: no words to describe it. I had understood I was waiting for something special, but I really did not think at this level. my son says that this is "THE SET", and he is right, even my daughter and wife when they saw it said "WOW !!!" in stereo sound. To play with it is a true pleasure a sort of supernatural experience, truly.

I let a positive feedback at ebay of course.

I'm really completely satisfied.

Thanks a lot and see You soon All the best

I just received the chess pieces I ordered from you through ebay (zagreb 59 ebonized) yesterday. The photo online doesn't do them justice. They are beautiful. Thanks so much for your incredibly fast shipping - they arrived in 2 days!
