Are you looking for fancy or something to get breaten up? Folding or not? Notations or not?

Yes, please give us more information so we can give our opinions.

What kind of Chess play are you going to use this for, slow tournament, faster or casual chess, blitz or what?

You have named the topic for Chess Boards, yet your first sentence says you want to buy a wood chess set.

Do you want to buy the pieces separate from buying the board?

Do you want to buy a complete set with both pieces and board?

And if you want a complete set, are you talking about a board that is really a folding box to hold the pieces in it?  Or are you thinking of carrying the pieces and the board separately and perhaps in their own bags or carrying cases?

Do you want this to be portable or is this going to stay at home or the office or something?

You mention Walnut/Maple for a set.  Do you have a preference for the type or color of wood for the pieces and also the board?

How big do want the set and board to be?

Let us know and I am sure you will get some very good advice here.

EyeChess I will just answer all your questions: I am going to use the board to use it at home for practicing and studying , I have one chess set board actually at home but it is very cheapy and sensible. 2 of course I want to buy up the pieces of chess along with the board so they can match up. 3 This is given in number to but anyways , yes I want to buy both of them . 4 As I said I will use it at home ,  and maaaaaybe with friends , becuase the board is going to be somewhat expensive I dont want them to scratch it 5 I dont want it portable , like when you go to the tournament its stable 6 Y es I have the preference , I dont want the pieces to be of any kind , I want one in exeption 7 The big of the board might be at least 15x15 8 I f its about price , some more or less fewer than 30 dollars .   Okat this sounds crazy but thats what I want . Walnut/Maple is some of the kinds i really like.

Yes , if you are talking abouth a board of 2.25 inch each square means that 2.25x8= 18 inches is okay . but where I can get that chessboard , yes I want the board to have coardinates at the edges.

Not for $30, but for $40 to $60 there are tournament boards on amazon.com.  Ebay too, maybe one with a damaged corner or something in your price range.  Good luck.
