There are several things to consider when you are purchasing a a poker. The first decision is whether or not you want a poker table with folding legs or whether you want one that is 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 size of the game is important to. If a game regular holds 10 person games, you should select a poker table that is roughly 92 to 96 inches long. For folding poker tables, it is recommended that the poker table be 92 inches long since this size can still fit inside an SUV. For games with 8 to 9 players, an 84 inch poker table should do the trick.

If the poker table is incorrectly transported, the arm rests will ripe so it is important the arm rests are a high quality. The arm rests are really no longer made out of leather. They are actually made out of a much tougher and thicker vinyl leather to prevent ripping.

Being made out of solid wood and have a high quality finish are trademarks of a high quality furniture poker table. Make sure that the poker table’s finish was applied in a paint booth to make sure the finish is even and well applied. Examine the legs (how big they are and how they have been carved) to see how high the level of craftmanship is on a poker table. Always confirm that the fabric playing surface can be removed so you don’t have to replace the poker table when the poker table top wears off.

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.
