Another one near me. It’s a buyer’s market, I tell you!

Does it come with the little girl?


I know I know, disgusting...

...but in 1980, it was hilarious...

You'll need some of these to see the flop

You could really sharpen your card pitching skills dealing from either end.

Given the look of that place, I’d say you are all wrong. Those are drug holders not cup holders.

I don’t get it. Am I missing a reference?

Gonna need that broom to rake in chips and push pots. Standard equipment at dealer's position.

You win. This takes the prize. Definitely the most bizarre attempt at a poker table I’ve ever scene!

Now I get it!

Guy 1: “I just built a great poker table!”
Guy 2: “What are you talking about? That table is absolutely terrible for poker!”
Guy 1: “But, looky here— I painted the suit symbols on it!“
Guy 2: “WOWEE!! I take it back! That’s the greatest poker table ever! I bet people won’t even notice the chips and cards that fell down the holes in the middle of the table. I bet we could sell that for $125!”

What in the actual eff was that thing before being labeled a poker table?

It's like the table is smiling at us....

From the CL ad: “It’s made out of a wire spool.”

 

[WedgeRock]

The four smaller outer circles is either where it mounts to the base or where the two layers become one, I believe. The larger circle tells me it used to be a cable spindle of some sort. Not sure about the smile, but all these together, despite the suits painted on the surface, make this unplayable.

It might not make a bad surface to pad and felt, tho.

This was a cable real, well half of it.. They make great tables, for the SHOP, but definitely not POKER tables...

If it's two layers, it could easily be cut into a rail playing surface. 42" is a good size. My only hesitation would be the holes and valleys between board, but those could be filled and fixed.

Huge missed opportunity here, IMO.

When I was a kid, we used to walk on those cable spools in PE class as a balancing exercise.

Now I can play poker on one! [cue nostalgic music]

Obviously none of you have ever had furniture made from cable spools and cinder blocks & boards. Those were standard furnishings in every crib in the early 70's. Easily obtained from constructions sites (I mean stores ) for those on a limited budget.

Don’t know if this counts as “fuggly” but it’s definitely the most disgustingly dirt table I’ve ever saw. According to the seller it’s very usable with “some” wear. It looks like it was used in the break room of an auto repair shop.

"Perfect for those Slobish Rounders that always show up."

If my friends were that dirty, I'd get new friends.

Yup. I usually don’t even allow food at my table except maybe pretzels. I also strategically don’t serve potato chips or greesy food at a game. I’d hate to see his chips and cards!

It's a new game show. "Table or Pastry?"

Perfect example of great skills and zero taste. Only mistake was not consulting with a designer.

Love the donut comparison, hilarious @Old State

This one just makes me smile. I think it reminds me of a teddy bear or something?

Seriously made me LOL!

Nice, @Old State. The first thing I thought of was the bottom of a Twinkie.
