DESIGN STORY

A New Character for Your Backgammon Set

Sometimes a small change can transform the character of an entire game.

MELIA wooden backgammon checkers were designed not only as replacement pieces, but as a simple way to give your leather backgammon set a new visual expression.

The compact wooden pieces combine natural tactile qualities with a refined gold ring applied to both sides. This subtle detailing catches the light without overwhelming the natural character of the wood.

Choose classic Brown & White, contemporary Black & White, distinctive Blue & White or expressive Green & White — and create the combination that best complements your backgammon board.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Genuine Olive Wood. Naturally Individual.

Every MELIA olive wood checker is crafted from genuine olive wood, a material valued for its distinctive grain, warm natural tones and tactile character.

Available in 32 × 7 mm Standard Size and 35 × 8 mm Tournament Size, the pieces have a substantial feel in the hand and bring the natural character of real wood to every game.

Each checker reveals its own individual grain pattern and tonal variation. Rather than being uniform like moulded plastic pieces, these natural differences make every set subtly unique.

Made in Europe and carefully finished, the MELIA olive wood checker set combines traditional material with the proportions and tactile qualities expected from a premium backgammon accessory.

Designed for Standard & Tournament Backgammon

The dimensions of a backgammon checker matter.

The size of the playing pieces should correspond to the proportions of the playing field, ensuring comfortable movement, clear positioning and a balanced appearance on the board.

Our 32 × 7 mm Standard Size checkers are designed for standard-size backgammon boards, while the larger 35 × 8 mm Tournament Size offers a more substantial playing experience for generously proportioned and tournament-size boards.

This makes the set an elegant choice for replacing lost or damaged pieces, upgrading conventional plastic checkers or simply introducing the distinctive character of genuine olive wood to an existing backgammon board.

For boards from other manufacturers, we recommend measuring your existing checkers or playing field before selecting between 32 mm and 35 mm.

THE OLIVE WOOD

Naturally Individual

Olive wood is characterised by its expressive grain, warm natural colouring and distinctive texture.

No two pieces of olive wood are exactly alike. Every checker therefore reveals individual variations in grain and tone, turning the complete playing set into a collection of subtly unique wooden pieces.

These natural variations are not imperfections. They are part of the character and visual appeal of genuine olive wood.

Genuine Wooden Playing Pieces

An Alternative to Conventional Plastic Checkers

MELIA olive wood backgammon checkers are made in Europe from genuine olive wood rather than conventional moulded plastic.

Their substantial dimensions, natural texture and warm wooden surface create a tactile playing experience particularly suited to high-quality backgammon boards.

Available in both Standard and Tournament Size, they are equally suited as replacement pieces for an existing set or as a considered upgrade from conventional playing pieces.

CARE

Olive Wood Care

Store your olive wood playing pieces in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat or moisture.

For regular cleaning, gently wipe the pieces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or aggressive chemicals that could damage the natural wooden surface.

Natural variations in grain, colour and texture are characteristic of genuine olive wood and make every MELIA checker set individually unique.
