Octagon Poker Tables

What’s the difference between octagon and round poker tables?

Octagon poker tables feature eight flat sides that create defined player positions, replicating the structured feel of casino card rooms. Each player gets an 18-24" designated space with clear boundaries for chips and cards. Round poker tables have continuous curved edges that promote conversation and work better in multi-purpose spaces.

Choose octagon tables if you:•

• Run structured tournaments or serious cash games

• Want authentic casino atmosphere

• Have a dedicated poker room (not dual-purpose)

• Regularly host 8+ players

Choose round tables if you:

• Host casual, social games with friends

• Need dual-purpose dining functionality

• Have limited space (round tables are more compact)

• Prioritize conversation over competitive play

  
  

Among our customers, 68% of dedicated card room owners choose octagon tables, while 73% of dual-purpose buyers prefer round tables. Compare our complete round poker tables collection to see both options.

How many people can play at an octagon poker table?

Most octagon poker tables comfortably seat 8 players, though capacity varies by table diameter:

Size & seating guide:

• 48" octagon (Kingston, Sahara): Seats 6-8 (ideal for 6-7)

• 53-54" octagon (Barnsley, Ponderosa): Seats 8 comfortably (most popular)

• 57" octagon (Mapleton, Oakerton): Seats 8-9 with extra elbow room

• 72" octagon (Oakridge): Seats 10+ for large tournaments

Each player position includes individual cup holders and 18-24" of personal space for chip stacks and cards. The octagon shape ensures equal distance to the center pot and consistent sightlines between all players.

Room planning tip: Add 4 feet to your table diameter for chair clearance. Example: A 54" table needs a 12'x12' minimum space (14'x14' preferred for comfortable movement).

Can octagon poker tables be converted into dining poker tables?

Yes. Most octagon poker tables in our collection feature convertible designs with removable playing surfaces that reveal hardwood dining tops underneath. Popular convertible dining poker tables models include the Sahara, Mapleton, Oakerton, and Barnsley series.

Convertible features:

• Dining top sits flush with poker rail (no awkward height difference)

• Converts in under 60 seconds—lift off poker surface, flip dining top

• Hardwood finishes (oak, maple, walnut) match formal dining room aesthetics

• Cup holders integrate discreetly without interfering with dining

Important consideration: Octagon tables occupy more visual space than round tables of equal diameter due to their angular shape. An octagon dining table makes a bold design statement—ensure your dining room can accommodate the geometric footprint.

Usage pattern: Our customers report using convertible tables for everyday dining 85% of the time, converting to poker mode only for game nights. This maximizes your furniture investment while maintaining elegant room aesthetics.

What materials are used?

Our octagon poker tables feature premium hardwood construction—primarily oak, maple, and pine—selected for durability, stability, and aesthetic appeal.

Wood types by collection:

• Oak (Oakridge, Oakerton): Dense, scratch-resistant, traditional look. Heaviest weight (90-130 lbs) ensures rock-solid stability.

• Maple (Mapleton): Lighter color with smooth grain, contemporary style. Slightly lighter than oak but equally durable.

• Pine (Ponderosa, Barnsley): Budget-friendly with warm rustic tones. Best for casual game rooms.

Do octagon poker tables include chairs?

Yes. Many of our octagon poker tables include matching chair sets. If buying chairs separately: Browse our poker chairs collection for compatible options. We recommend:

Seat height: 18-19" for standard 30" table height

• Arm style: Armless or low-arm designs for unobstructed reach to pot

• Base type: Swivel casters for easy entry/exit without scooting

• Padding: High-density foam for 4+ hour session comfort
