My Cart
No room for entertainment is complete without a table to play cards. A nice poker table that includes soft felt and cup holders can make your game night experience so much better in the long run. For those who are on the market for a new poker table, it is important to be aware of certain buying concepts before making a purchase.
Poker Table Considerations
Take a moment to consider what you want in a poker table before making a purchase. Expectations, location, size, shape, and price should all be factors in determining the best poker table for your entertainment center. Here are some common characteristics that poker table buyers should be aware of when shopping for their next table.
Felt and Rail
There are different types of felt options depending on the price of each table. For example, lower-end table options may offer the traditional green felt, while more expensive tables include other colors like blue, red, or black felt. These expensive tables may even be available in felt options such as customizable graphics and lettering.
The felt should feel smoothe, and your cards should simply glide across the table effortlessly. Additionally, the felt should be able to stand up to regular usage without creating lint and rough surfaces. Make sure that the vinyl or leather on the table is of high quality.
Shape and Size
Consider how many players you plan to have sitting at your table when you entertain. Will the group be a small size of 6 people? Consider purchasing a circular table for smaller games. For those who wish to seek a larger crowd for poker night, an oval table much like those at a casino might be the better option. These tables often hold up to 9-10 players. Always consider the poker crew and room size before making your poker table selection.
Quality and Build
Table quality will vary depending on a buyer’s budget. For those who plan on putting their table away after use, buying a foldable table may be the best option. These tables can be found at an affordable price that won’t break the bank , but will still effectively get the job done.
Other considerations in build quality include the woodwork, craftsmanship, LED Lighting, stainless steel cup holders, and high-quality felt. High quality tables that have all of these bells and whistles can run up to thousands of dollars.
