That's too bad. Building it is such a good experience, plus it will be exactly how you want it. It's not a stretch to think that it's more cost effective as well. That placemat won't look very nice after even 10 game nights, ime. Real lumber, brass hinges, and good upholstery would easily last 4 times as long. Plus, you'd be more eager to organize games if you were playing on a table you're proud of.
