I played on this Amazon mat recently and it was good. It is much larger than the one you are looking at so I can't comment on space. The cards slide nicely; players need to be ready to catch the cards.
I didn't know this was possible,I’m not sure what your budget is but can highly recommend the table toppers from @rjdev7
You can get one of the stock designs or go custom, well worth it!

can you describe the padding on the triton topper? I've tried using two of the RJDev toppers on top of each other on a flat table top, but just didnt have the same ability to grab cards like they do when rolled on top of my barrington. Looking for a dining table roll out option or two.I'll third the Triton topper to go over a dining room table. RJDEV7's toppers are great but best on an existing poker table that has some padding already. I have both. We use the Triton to go on top of a sunroom table for playing when the weather is warmer and a custom topper from RJ for the poker table in the basement.
The bottom surface (padding) is neoprene. The top surface is a very slick nylon-like fabric. I think the issue with grabbing cards is related to how thick the padding is and how much "give" it has. I think the padding and surface on the Triton is the same material as RJDev's, although the top surface may be a little slicker on the Triton topper. I don't know if putting two of his toppers on top of one another provides that same "give" in the padding as the Triton even though that would make the overall thickness the same. You can buy the Triton on Amazon and therefore should be able to return it if it doesn't provide the ability to grab the cards to your liking.can you describe the padding on the triton topper?

that makes sense. the triton tops are just a little off dimension wise for my "multi purpose" table that i'm trying to make a cover for so I may go the RJDev route and make a foam layer underneath it somehow that is removable.The bottom surface (padding) is neoprene.
