Solid oak from the woods around our Snowdonia workshop, with a Welsh slate chessboard inlaid flush into the top — a game table built to last generations. The slate squares are hand-cut and set one by one into the oak surface, with alternating polished and honed finishes creating the board's light and dark contrast. Both materials come from this landscape: the oak from managed Welsh woodland, the slate from the quarries that shaped this part of Wales for centuries. The result is a chess table with genuine provenance — not a piece of furniture pretending to be rustic, but something made from the

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as FREE RANGING DESIGNS LTD, number 09050029. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
