It's weird to see how much attention you fish give to these cheap tables with all the negative opinions on this forum about them.
Maybe I'm too cynical as this will seed future discussions about how much the felt sucks, how much the fold sucks, how wobbly they are, upgrading with a topper, changing the cup holders etc.
At over $500 CAD with tax they are not exactly cheap unless you are one of the salivating vultures trying to pick one up for $99.
I get that not everybody is DIY or has space for tools etc but is it really that hard to find an actual man with a jigsaw to cut a piece of plywood for you? With the money you save you could get one of those really nice Chan felts and even put your tacky motorcycle or sports themes on it. How great would that be?

Who said all Canadians are nice?
I could not build one in my garage cheaper than Costco sold them, even with all the tools and prior experience building poker tables. The fact that it folds, and has the table tensioning system for the legs makes it even more of a super deal.

Well I mean at least I did not start a thread about how ugly they are to shame people.

Canadiens may not be all that nice but they sure do know how to make new friends.

With the understanding that these don't meet everyone on the forum's high quality standards, these are on sale at Costco online for $200 shipped until March 6th.

I think we were told we just weren’t REAL men for buying this table instead of building it with our man hands. We should probably be out hunting for our meals too instead of shopping at Costco.

Unfortunately it appears he was deemed too manly for the forum as he appears to have been banned.
Has anyone drilled out the cup holders on these Costco tables yet?
I am about to and I am wondering if my 3 5/8” hole saw’s 1.5” depth is enough or do I need more depth?

Has anyone removed and replaced the cup holders on the Costco version yet?

Thanks. I think the Costco table is a little thicker though?
Changes nothing though. Same cupholders, same hole saw, same process.
It doesn’t change the depth?
By all accounts the thickness is the same but the Costco one weighs more due to MDF being a component.

Pretty sure the costco ones are the same as the ESPN one I have. Super easy but expect some smoke lol
Removed the cup holders, drilled pilot holes, and starting drilling larger holes. Confirmed 1.5” depth is enough

Does it have double plywood? How difficult was it to cut through that? Have been putting off this project for my table for a while now.
First one is done
Yes double. I only have done one so far. Just take your time drilling the hole
So I guess I need to move the electrical over for this spot
The poles are very close to my pilot holes on 4 of the spots but I am just planning on going slowly or moving over an 1/8”

Too close or perfect?

Nice. You don't have to cut the support with the new ones!
Done
What is the best way to fix this?

Looks great! No clue on how to fix the torn vinyl beyond maybe a vinyl patch kit or replacing that section. Now you just need a table topper and some chips and you're ready to go!
Topper coming Friday. Chips I have too many of. This is the garage table
