One of our tables has a wooden rail and it's perfectly fine.

Part of the key, frankly, is to not slouch or lean forward and rest on your arms, regardless of padded or not.

Actually... 2 of our tables have wood rails. It's just surprisingly easy to forget, because it's no less comfortable than the padded rail table.

So you have a plank of wood instead of a padded bed? :LOL: :laugh:
Didn't I see you have a small heads up travel table with padding?

The post didn't include a link or the price, so barring that, if it's not ridiculously expensive, someone who is ignorant about what a poker table "should" look like will think this is "cool looking" and buy it. Oblivious to how horrible it is.

I didn't wanna dox the guy so I didn't link it but they wanted .... $4500 for it. No joke.

The airplane/travel table is padded, but not for comfort as one might think.

When folded, the padding squishes creating a seal. That way if we need to quickly pack up, only one player puts chips in a tube and the table can be closed making a seal so that chips or cards will not fall out. Believe me, the hardest part of building that table was the padded rail (pulling vinyl and foam over a 1" rail with effectively 1/2" underneath to staple, and getting it around the corners... it was a Masterclass in fingertip gripping. It's the reason we never made more to sell. It would not be worth the cost.

As for the padded bed, Yes, my bed has a mattress. I suspect if I slept on my card table, I would want that padded as well. In fact, it I put my entire body weight on my card table for 6 hours, I would also want the rail padded. But I don't put the entirety of my body weight on my forearms or elbows when playing cards.

However, if you are ever in Nashville, you are invited to a game. I'll make sure you get time at the wooden rail table. If you actually find it uncomfortable, I'll publicly apologize. Until then, as a great man used to say, "you are talking out of your hat".

I have family close to Murfreesboro, if I'm that way I would love a seat!

I do put my weight on the rail, but I don't have a non padded rail, and I carry a hat ;)

An unfinished plywood surface is a terrible idea.
A table the height of a barstool is a terrible idea.
A container to hold the pot is a terrible idea.
A container to hold and hide chips is a terrible idea.
A container so big it can hold 4 drinks at once (or just spill one) is a terrible idea.
A container to hold stacked slices of pizza...

Wow, you get both chip wells AND raw-wood splinters. The nail heads are nice aesthetic also.

Edit, I hope the bar stool is just a photo prop and not what this thing is actually mounted to.

Will find out. Inquiry sent. Please be nailed to the bar stool, which will lead to follow up questions.

Edit: Only a topper. I'm sad now.

Am I to believe you bet in "your rectangle" then once matched, the chips go into the middle, the pot? Why are there 4 levels. Rack and cupholder, race track, betting area?, pot? Is that rack on the right the dealer's seat? Why are there 10 seats but 12 cupholders? Is this real life? AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
