Selecting The Perfect Oval Table
An oval table or table top adds a dramatic difference to your home poker games. The richly colored poker felt and padding can actually add to the fun and excitement. Plus the shape and size works well when you want a classier look than a long oval table. One problem numerous people have with the oval tables and tops is the room they require to use them.
A average oval table is 7 or 8 feet long, so unless you have a big game room or similar space to play, they only won’t work for many people. There is also a considerable distance across the board often requiring you to stand up to deal the cards across the table or to reach the pot.
Oval tables and tops were designed for smaller and more intimate games. They seat up to 8 people around an octagon shaped playing area that’s about 48 inches across. The pot is easily accessible by all the players and dealing becomes much more efficient. Another good benefit is that they have a more elegant feel. They only look much better in a more unusual setting like a bar or recreation room. You can even find them in oak and other hardwoods adding a actual touch of class.
Finally, oval tables are usually less expensive than big oval tables. Even much more, the table tops are about half the price of any poker table. So if you are looking for a gift idea, the table tops are ideal. For a game room or if you don’t have a suitable table to use a top on, the octagon tables are your best choice.
The tables are also a fine upgrade if you already own a table top and are interested in the hardwood frames and other high end features. Whether you choose an oval table or table top, your poker games will certainly be the much better for it. It’ll make all the difference in the world to your home poker parties or your game room.
