Convertible Dining Poker Tables

Can I use these tables daily as a dining table?

Absolutely — that’s exactly what they’re made for. Convertible poker dining tables are designed to look and function like premium dining furniture, not temporary game setups. The dining surface is built from solid hardwood and finished with a sealed, heat- and spill-resistant coating, so you can use it every day for family meals, remote work, or casual gatherings.

When it’s time to play, simply lift or flip the tabletop to reveal a casino-quality poker surface — padded rails, speed cloth, cup holders, and all. Switching modes takes less than a minute, and the felt and padding stay protected when the dining top is on.

Real-world feedback: Most of our customers say their table spends about 90% of its life in “dining mode,” serving breakfast, dinner, and even holiday meals — but when poker night rolls around, it transforms into the centerpiece of their entertainment space. No need for a separate game room or extra furniture.

Everyday durability:

• Scratch- and heat-resistant top for daily dining use

• Reinforced base construction for stability and longevity

• Smooth edges and finishes that match traditional dining décor

• Easy wipe-clean surface for quick maintenance

Pro tip: Pair your table with cushioned dining chairs or low-arm swivel chairs for a seamless transition from dinner to deal time. Most owners say their guests are surprised to learn it’s also a poker table until the top comes off.

Why Buy a Convertible Poker Dining Table Instead of Two Separate Tables?

Space Efficiency (The #1 Reason Customers Choose These):

Most homes don't have room for both a dedicated poker table AND a separate dining table. Convertible tables give you both functions in the same footprint. Your dining room serves double duty as your poker room - no separate game room needed.

Cost Savings:

• Quality dining table: $1,000-$2,000

• Dedicated poker table: $800-$1,500

• Total if buying separately: $1,800-$3,500

You save: $500-$1,500 by buying one convertible table

Better Justification for Purchase:

If you're trying to convince a spouse or roommate to approve a poker table purchase, a convertible dining table is much easier to justify. It's furniture you'll use daily, not just for occasional games.

No Compromise on Quality:

Modern convertible poker dining tables don't sacrifice quality for versatility. The dining surface is solid hardwood with quality finishes. The poker surface features professional-grade felt, padded rails, and built-in cup holders - identical to dedicated poker tables costing $1,500+.

Real Customer Feedback:

Based on 1,000+ customer reviews, the most common comment is: "I was skeptical these could work well as both, but it's actually perfect for both purposes." The second most common: "Wish I'd bought this years ago instead of just using our regular table with a felt topper."

Do convertible poker dining tables come with chairs?

Chairs are typically sold separately for convertible poker dining tables — and for good reason. These tables serve two purposes, so the seating needs to look elegant for dining yet feel comfortable enough for poker nights. Buying chairs separately gives you the freedom to match your home’s style, comfort level, and budget without compromise.

Many customers actually prefer this setup. About 90% of convertible table owners choose their own chairs instead of bundled sets because it lets them mix formal dining aesthetics with gaming functionality — for example, upholstered dining chairs for everyday meals and padded swivel chairs for poker sessions.

Recommended Chair Specifications for Convertible Poker Dining Tables:

• Quantity: 6–8 chairs (depending on table size and seating configuration)

• Seat height: 18–19” (standard for 30” dining table height)

• Style: Armless or low-arm designs — makes it easy to reach cards and chips during play

• Base type: Swivel bases or smooth floor glides recommended — protect your flooring and allow easy movement during games

• Weight capacity: 250–300+ lbs for long-lasting support and comfort

  
  

Why Buying Chairs Separately Makes Sense:

Every home, and every player,  is different. Some hosts prefer classic dining chairs in wood or fabric to keep the table’s look refined for daily use. Others go for casino-inspired swivel chairs with casters, built for hours of comfortable gameplay.

Buying your chairs separately means you can create the setup that fits your space and lifestyle:

• Choose premium materials like leather, walnut, or microfiber to complement your décor.

• Save space with stackable or folding chairs if your table doubles as your family dining spot.

• Adjust your investment — from budget-friendly sets (~$100 each) to premium ergonomic models ($400+ each).

Customer insight: Many buyers start with their existing dining chairs, then upgrade later to a dedicated poker chair set once they realize how often the table gets used for game nights.

How does a convertible poker dining table work?

Convertible poker dining tables are designed with two fully functional surfaces in one frame — a dining top on one side and a professional-grade poker layout on the other.

Most models include a removable or flip-top design, meaning you simply lift or rotate the tabletop to switch from dinner mode to game night in under a minute.

In dining mode, you’ll have a smooth hardwood surface ideal for daily meals, family gatherings, or entertaining guests. When it’s time to play, flip the top to reveal a padded poker setup complete with cup holders, chip trays, and casino-grade speed cloth for smooth card action.

Real user insight: Many of our customers use their tables as dining centers 80% of the time and game hubs on weekends — it’s the perfect blend of form and function for modern homes.

How many people can these tables seat?

That depends on the table shape and size, but most of our convertible designs comfortably seat 6 to 10 players,  perfect for both casual family games and serious poker nights.

Round and octagon models work best for 6 players, encouraging eye contact, conversation, and equal spacing between seats — just like a friendly home game.

Oval and rectangular tables provide extra room for 8 to 10 players, mirroring the look and flow of professional casino tables.

If you love hosting larger groups or want that “dealer’s position” feel, the oval layout is ideal. For smaller spaces or multipurpose rooms, round tables are unbeatable for comfort and flexibility.

Pro tip: For a full poker experience, leave about 3–4 feet of clearance around the table so players can move comfortably between hands.
