Poker Table Top Recommendations (5 Viewers)

[ChipRelic]

Looking to host a recurring monthly home tournament poker night with 20 players max (two tables).

I have a large rectangular dining table and a large rectangular kitchen table. Was considering purchasing two tri-fold felted table tops and using my tables as a budget option. Any recommendations for good ones on the market?

Or, would purchasing two purpose-specific standalone poker tables be the way to go? If I go that route, would obviously need to buy the chairs to go along with it, which obviously means more $$. If I use my existing dining/kitchen tables, the chairs are already taken care of.

Any tips, ideas on what works well for those who have gone the path?

@T_Chan made me a custom topper a few years back. It’s been amazing for me.

That looks great. Is that a standard table and you just added the padded rail?

Also recommend searching for @rjdev7 options, can make custom sized toppers that roll up. I have a Triton topper, I like the style but it’s not ideal for my dining table. Quite a few table toppers on amazon that’d be the more budget option, but not ideal for non-standard size:

Some folk find the Triton toppers to be too ‘shiny’ and slick and hard to pick cards up from, so a padded felt solution could be preferred.

If I end up needing 2 tables and would do this again, I would defo consider @T_Chan or @rjdev7.

You can search for their work here and/or DM them.

One last thought, 10 players per table is considered more than usual of the preferred 6-8, so the standard sized budget entry level might be too much of a squeeze if you end up getting 2 tables, like the Barringtons.

It's a full topper than sits on top of my existing dining table. Basically a full on poker table without legs, but shaped to fit over/cover my dining table.

This is super helpful, thanks Kam! I'll reach out to those guys via DM and see what solutions they offer.

Hey cpac, did you have that custom made (padded rail and all)? If so, who made it?
