Big Slick poker tables come in three different varieties. You can have a table with spaces for ten people, a table that seats ten people and has a dealer tray or a smaller table that seats eight players. These tables have designated places where the players will sit. You can also get cheaper tables that do not have these designated spots that seat both ten and eight players.

Â

The surface of these tables is padded and covered with velveteen material. This makes it easier for players to slide their cards across the table when they fold or are involved in a showdown after the river card is played. The track of the table is made from maple. The wood used measures ?inch and has a very glossy finish due to the clear stain used. There are no seams in the rail around the table that is made from 1 inch foam. Vinyl is used to wrap the foam and it is in one full piece. The cup holders on the table are large enough to accommodate a bottle of beer, a can of pop or a glass. The legs of the tables collapse, which makes it easy to store these tables when they are not in use.

Â

Tables are not the only products that this company sells. If you have a table that does not have the drink containers built in, you can have them attached to the table at the side of each player. They also have a flat top so that you have a place by your side on which you can lay your snack. You can also order a 1000-piece set of poker chips that come in a black aluminum case. Card guards are available in gold or silver and you can choose from six styles when ordering your cards, which are the official cards of the World Series of Poker.

Â

Since the tables are custom built, you can truly have a designer table for your poker games. Some of the various choices you have when you place an order include:

Â

- Choice of poker cloth. The cloth for the poker table is available in fifteen different colors.

Â

- Choice of Vinyl for covering the foam. The two most popular choices of faux leather coverings are black and carbon fibre, but you do have a choice between twenty-five other colors.

Â

- Choice of wood for racetrack. In addition to maple, you can have your table made from oak, cherry, walnut or mahogany .

Â

- Choice of legs. There are three leg styles to choose from: round cast iron base, X-base and an optional footrest.

Â

You can even have the cloth on the table customized to include any design you wish, such as having your name on the cloth.

Â

When you want to have a room in your home where you can hold a poker game for your friends, these tables are the ultimate in poker furniture. The fact that they fold up makes it easy for you to store them when not in use and you just have to take them out when you plan to have a game.
