Topper or resurface (1 Viewer)

[emunster18]

Thanks in advance for your input. I bought a barrington 10-person table about 6 months ago, but hate the look and layout of the felt. I have seen all the cool things you van do with toppers and get them custom made for a reasonable price.

However, I have also seen people resurface these with SSC. Which is better? I am so torn on what to do...

We currently host a 2-table tournament regularly and play on the barrington and a kitchen table with a topper. If I ordered a custom top, I likely would get 2, so they matched. Price/cost isn't necessarily a factor.

Topper is the easiest way to go and you have unlimited design potential. SSC (especially the cheaper stuff) is very abrasive and doesn’t feel very nice to the touch.

The toppers from @rjdev7 are superb!

I've done both and regret spending the money on the foam and speed cloth. I put a topper on every time I use the table now, so everything I did underneath was a waste of money. The topper surface exceeds the speed cloth.

Get the topper and redo cup holders. Don't waste the money on anything else.

By the way, I am talking about the toppers from @rjdev7

I have no experience with other toppers...

I actually forgot to bring my topper to the last game (someone picked up my table from my house), and got a bunch of "Oh this isn't as nice"

+1 for @rjdev7 toppers

This can not be overemphasised - absolute killer of cards.

I've got a Chanman cloth which is super smooth but if I didn't I would certainly be looking at a topper and avoiding SSC like the plague.

@rjdev7 - I'll be hitting you up in the next month or two. I've looked at some of your custom designs and love them! Have a little paralysis by analysis going on atm...
