Everyone below was an absolute pleasure to work with and I will definitely go back to them if I have any more poker chip/table/accessory needs in the future!

Chips

Table
- Builder: Jerry @
https://m.facebook.com/Table-Image-Poker-Tables-of-Chicago-194836141366/. Local to Chicago area (by O'Hare / Harlem & Higgins). Does not ship so you have to pick up but you can go check out some of his in-process tables in action. He'll work with you/send you pics along the way to see exactly what you want. I met with him a few times throughout the process.
- Jerry's table price after my upgrades (chip tray, drop boxes, cup holders in rail, arc for dealer cutout, etc.): $705 + my additional costs below. Jerry offered to provide some of these (chip tray, rake slide, etc.) but I wanted to go balls out with upgraded materials
- Poker suede (felt): $256 via
http://www.pimpmytable.net -- per Jerry's recommendation since he'd worked with him in the past. Felt is amazing and it's all I'll get from now on over the suited speed cloth.
- Polished aluminum slim style poker drop slide: $180 via
www.916pokerdepot.com
- Aluminum chip tray: $235 including lock & key via
www.916pokerdepot.com
- Money paddle: $15 via
Amazon
- Legs: Hafele brand: $160 for the set via
www.rockler.com. These are the foldable kind and work perfectly even though they fold inward in an X position under the table. I was worried they'd be in the way of the toke boxes but they're not. Even if they were, you could just remove the boxes when storing, which I would prob do anyway. They also sell this same style as non-folding legs for $80 for the set -- I used on my previous table but def prefer the folding version. Both options (folding vs not) have adjustable feet in case your floor is uneven. I love em and prefer the look of them over the standard folding legs.
Total table costs: $1,600-$1,700 (including J5 design fees + costs for dealer buttons and card cuts)
Chairs
- Greg at
http://casinoproductsworldwide.com /
gpeez@cox.net. He gave me his ok to list his email. Chairs were from their used inventory and were originally red. He reupholstered and added powder coating to legs for $59/chair = $531. That was for 9 chairs and then he threw in a 10th chair for free so technically $53/chair. It was $35 to put them on a pallet/pack them so $566 total. Shipping from Vegas to Chicago via Conway Freight was $233 for 4-day transit.
- He gets lots of chairs and also quite a few poker tables...just FYI in case you're looking for some!
Total Gasser chair costs: $799 (+ another $100 for my dealer chair, from Amazon)
