How to Buy a Poker Table

1. Establish a Budget

You need to decide how much you can spend on the poker table

The first step to purchasing a poker table is to establish how much money you would like to spend on your table. There is a wide range of prices for poker tables that range anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 or more for higher quality tables.

 

 

As with most pieces of furniture, spending a bit more to get a table that is going to last makes more sense than buying an inferior quality one that you may need to replace in a few years. A higher quality table will also look better and will give you a more sturdy, enjoyable playing surface.

 

 

A good way to make your budget go even further is to buy a poker table that is multi-functional. You would purchase one like the Sterling 2 in 1 Flip Top that easily converts to a beautiful dining table. It’s like getting two pieces of furniture in one.

If space is limited in your game room and you want to get the most enjoyment out of the room that you have, you could consider investing in a poker table that let’s you play more than just poker.

 

The 3 in 1 Game table is not only the perfect choice for an enjoyable game of poker, but it also converts into a bumper pool table with drop pockets for the whole family to play on. It’s a great alternative if you don’t have the space for a full-sized billiard table.

 

And not only can you play pool and poker on this table, but it also has a dining top that you can use for meals as well as family board games. For limited space, this table is the perfect choice.

Don’t forget to include all the accessories that you will need for your poker table such as:

 

 

*Playing cards

5. Consider the Quality

A custom-crafted, poker table can be a lifelong investment that you can pass down to the next generation, if you choose one that is well-made by a reputable company. A higher quality poker table will also include extra features that will make playing more enjoyable and also protect your table. Here are some features to look for in a poker table:

*Poker chip tray cut outs with rubber inserts to neatly hold your chips
*Rubber removable drink holders to protect the wood surface from accidental spills or drink rings
