There are several factors to consider when decided what sort of poker table you should purchase. The first decision is whether or not the poker table should be have folding legs or be a furniture table.

Poker tables with folding legs are cheaper and are good for quick games and for people with space constraints. It is important not to get a folding table that folds in half. The crease will catch the cards and slow down the rate of play. Furniture poker tables are good for people that play more often, tend to have longer games, and desire something a little bit more classy than the standard poker table. You can also add a dining table top to many poker tables so it is like a regular piece of furniture.

The number of players in a game is important consideration. If your games tend to have 10 players, then you will need a table that is between 92 to 96 inches long. For those of you interested in folding poker tables, you should get a table that is 92 inches since this can fit inside an SUV. An 84 inch poker table should be the right size for 8 to 9 players.

A high quality poker table will have high quality arm rests since this is the thing most likely to rip during transportation. Even though many poker tables advertise that their arm rests are made out of leather, this isn’t the case. They are made out of a thick and tough vinyl leather.

Any high quality furniture poker table will be made out of solid and have a high quality finish. You will need to confirm that the poker table was finished in a paint booth to make sure the finish is even and has been well applied. Next, examine the legs to see how big they are and how they have been carved; this will give you a good idea as to the level of craftmanship invovled. Never buy a table where the fabric playing surface can’t come off since when this surface wears out you will have to buy a new table.

There are three types of manufacturers. The first are the cheap tables that come out of China. They do not compete on quality, only on cost. The second type is the handmade homemade tables. These tend not to have great finish work on them since these table makers tend not to have paint rooms. Then there are the high quality manufacturers who have paint rooms and can make high quality tables.

When selecting a poker table, be sure to have fun and consider all the angles since this purchase will be with you for years to come.
