user3916: As a follow up to my original question What are the characteristics of a good chess board? I was wondering what companies are the most reputable for chessboard construction. Since I am just a beginner I am curious at lower cost beginner boards, but also in other boards that I might want to splurge on one day if I really get into chess.

user3381: DGT chessboards are the best. The digital chessboards are definitely helpful in your chess career, besides, the quality is really good; the only downside is that it is quite expensive. However, I would say the board is worth the price.

user20697: The most reputable chessboard company I know is chessbazaar.com. They are the finest crafters of chess pieces and boards and they do it at the lowest price in the industry. the quality is not compromised.

user28100: UK and Europe based can order chess board from Discover Handicrafts
Their chess boards are made from wood and very artistics.

user70: The standard vinyl board is hard to beat for everything except showing off a chess set.  You can get them for cheap from the USCF or from any other purveyor of chess gear.
Here's one from Cajun chess for $4.  I bought a few sets from them. I like them.
Looks like tournament-sized wooden boards begin at $50.

user3357: I don't really know any cheap chess board companies, but checking out websites like
The Chess House can yield very good results.
For a nice splurge, the best boards are without a doubt the DGT ones,

user4106: Most reputed brand in Chess boards is probably Staunton. They are manufactured by 
Jacques of London and have been in circulation since 1849!
