Round Poker Tables

Do round poker tables come with matching chairs?

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

• 18-19" seat height (matches standard 30" table height)

• Armless or low-arm design for unobstructed reach

• Swivel bases for easy entry/exit

What size round poker table is best for my space?

Based on hundreds of customer installations, here's our expert sizing guide:

• 48" diameter (seats 4-6): Ideal for apartments, condos, or rooms under 12'x12'. Comfortable for weekly cash games with 5 or fewer regulars. Requires 10'x10' minimum space including player chairs.

• 52-54" diameter (seats 6-8): Our most popular size for dedicated game rooms. Perfect for regular 6-handed tournaments or casual 8-player games. Needs 12'x12' space minimum, 14'x14' preferred for comfortable movement.

• 60" diameter (seats 8-10): Premium option for serious hosts running larger tournaments. Best for rooms 14'x14' or larger. Popular with customers who host monthly events or charity tournaments.

Pro tip: Always add 4 feet to the table diameter to calculate minimum room dimensions—this ensures players can push back chairs and walk behind seated players comfortably.

Can I use a round poker table as a dining table?

Absolutely, and we specifically offer many models for dual-purpose use. Our convertible poker dining tables feature removable playing surfaces that reveal beautiful hardwood dining tops underneath. Customers report using these tables for everyday meals 90% of the time, then converting for poker nights in under 60 seconds.

Key features in our dual-purpose models:

• Dining tops flush with the poker rail (no awkward height differences)

• Durable finishes that resist water rings and heat damage

• Discreet cup holder placement that doesn't interfere with dining

• Professional appearance that complements formal dining rooms

The Vienna, Oxford, and Hamilton models are customer favorites for this purpose, with Vienna specifically designed by a furniture craftsman who hosts weekly dinners AND poker tournaments.

What materials are round poker tables made of?

Quality construction varies dramatically across poker tables, and material choice directly impacts longevity and playing experience. Here's what we use in our premium collection:

• Table frames: Solid hardwood (oak, maple, walnut) or commercial-grade MDF with hardwood veneer. All frames are kiln-dried to prevent warping in varying humidity—critical for tables that will last 15-20+ years.

• Playing surface: Speed cloth provides the ideal balance between card glide and chip stacking. Our professional-grade felt resists pilling and maintains tension for 5+ years of weekly play. Some premium models feature water-resistant suited speed cloth.

• Padding: High-density foam rails (2-3" thick) covered in synthetic leather or premium vinyl. We specify materials rated for 50,000+ arm rests—equivalent to 10 years of tournament play.

• Cup holders: Stainless steel (premium models) or brass-plated zinc alloy (value models). All include rubber gaskets to prevent chips and cards from sliding underneath.

Are round poker tables better than octagon tables?

After facilitating thousands of home games on both styles, here's our honest assessment:

Round tables excel at:

• Social games where conversation matters (cash games, dealer's choice nights)

• Smaller spaces (4-6 player games)

• Dual-purpose dining/poker functionality

• Creating intimate atmosphere for regular groups

• 
  

Octagon tables are better for:

• Replicating casino/card room feel

• Dedicated poker rooms where aesthetics match function

• 8+ player games (better chip/card organization)

• Players who prefer defined, structured seating positions
