4 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A POKER TABLE

It’s been said that making choices without risks is almost impossible. If this is true, you should consider your options wisely. When considering the purchase of a new poker table you have numerous options to consider. Are you looking for a show case piece of furniture or maybe something more simple for poker night with friends. Either way put careful thought into exactly what type of table will fit your specific needs. Simple folding leg tables can be very convenient when space is limited and you just need a table for occasional use. However, if you love playing and you truly enjoy the game and the social engagement with friends a solid built piece of furniture is always your best solution. An added advantage to building a custom table is the versatility. If a dedicated game room is not available you can simply add a dining surface to your table and replace the kitchen dining table. Dining tops can be designed to completely conceal the poker table so no one is the wiser until game night.

Here are 4 things you should consider before paying for a custom poker tables.

1 Your Choice and Budget: One of the first things you want to consider is your budget. How much are you willing to pay for a poker table? Then, what kind of poker table are you willing to buy? Of course, with a bigger budget, you could get a table that becomes a permanent centerpiece in a room with plenty of options to choose from. You could have intricate woodwork or LED lighting around the table.

2 Knowing the Players: While purchasing the poker table, you should also consider the caliber of players. How many players do you expect? Are they just friends who seek fun or professionals who love the chase? Omaha (a variant of Texas Hold’em Poker) is considered, by some, to be the hardest game of Poker to master. For a game of Omaha, a custom poker table may be purchased.

3 The Size of the Room: The space available is very important in choosing a poker tables cheap. Is it a large game room or a part of the living room with a small space? For a small group of 4-7 friends playing Blackjack, a simple blackjack table may suffice for your poker room. Many of these also include table covers so it can function as a regular table in a game room or family room. Some poker tables with covers are designed like a dinner table and chairs so the room can serve as both a dining room and game room.

4 The Purpose of Purchase: Apart from the fun and good times with friends, you should consider why you are getting that table. Is inviting friends over something you would constantly do, or you just want to get a round poker tables to spice up the holiday atmosphere? Answering these questions would help you decide whether to get something permanent or something temporary that you can easily pack up for later use.

Now that you know what to consider when buying a poker table, did you also know you could build your own poker chairs and table? This is pretty easy, especially if you possess the requisite skills. All you need are the materials and blueprints that you can get online. Check out my article on how to build your poker table. All in all, whatever you choose, make sure it’s something you like and are comfortable with.
