What to Look For When Choosing a Poker Table

When purchasing a poker table, there are several decisions that have to be made. Whether a poker table has folding legs or is a free-standing piece of furniture is the first decision.

For people who have quick games and have space constraints, poker tables with folding legs are recommended; they are also cheaper. Do not get a folding poker table that folds in half. The crease in the middle of the table will catch the cards and slow down the rate of play. If you tend to play more and have longer lasting games, and you want a piece of furniture, then poker table that is a piece of furniture is right for you. Be sure to remember that you can always add a table top to a furniture poker table to make a regular table.

The size of the game is important to. If a game regular holds 10 person games, you should select a poker table that is roughly 92 to 96 inches long. For folding poker tables, it is recommended that the poker table be 92 inches long since this size can still fit inside an SUV. For games with 8 to 9 players, an 84 inch poker table should do the trick.

If the poker table is incorrectly transported, the arm rests will ripe so it is important the arm rests are a high quality. The arm rests are really no longer made out of leather. They are actually made out of a much tougher and thicker vinyl leather to prevent ripping.

Being made out of solid wood and have a high quality finish are trademarks of a high quality furniture poker table. Make sure that the poker table’s finish was applied in a paint booth to make sure the finish is even and well applied. Examine the legs (how big they are and how they have been carved) to see how high the level of craftmanship is on a poker table. Always confirm that the fabric playing surface can be removed so you don’t have to replace the poker table when the poker table top wears off.

There are three kinds of manufacturers. There are the Chinese manufacturers who make cheap tables. They compete only on price. The next type are the manufacturers who make tables out of there home. The finish work on these tables tends not to be great since they don’t have a paint room. Then there are the manufacturers with paint rooms who are the high quality manufacturers.

Always be sure to think through your poker table purchase since it is a decision and investment that will be with you for years to come.
