This table was built by a Year 12 student for the major project in woodwork.

He now just wants to get rid of it.

$250 you beauty.

I forgot to mention. I also get 500 of these chips included. Custom made.

Looks alright bar the legs.

Built this with a mate for our home game we run once a week, cost us about $250 as well.

The original incarnation in construction, with ****ty micro suede felt.

Replaced with speedcloth

Looking to build another soon, large round table, as with a rotating dealer it makes it a lot easier to deal, and keen to see if anyone would be interested in buying a table.

Good price. I don't mind the legs, actually. My problem is that he didn't carry the nautical theme throughout the whole table.

I agree, a speedcloth screen print would have been a nice touch

Those chips aren't custom. They're standard off-the-shelf stuff you can buy from a dozen places online. A set of 1,000 might cost you $150 shipped.

I don't care for the legs or the felt racetrack.

If he spent $900 on this, he's including the cost of all the tools and supplies he needed to buy.

And yes, you can change anything. Just take it apart and change what you want.

Good luck getting that shipped to Australia for under $100

I don't think you realise just how hard it is to get quality poker supplies over here.

Nope, I sure don't. Sorry for being US-centric.

Some people are so ******ed.

So true. Like this guy that asked if it was possible to change the felt on a table after it was already made, or it the table was somehow sealed so that nothing can be changed.

everything should be just screwed in from underneath. if it is, take out the screws you should be able to lift the center piece out, put on a new cloth and you're set.

the playing surfaces are a little lumpy to me, but for a first time builder it's a nice table. for the price, you can't go wrong.

Maybe you just don't know the answer. Maybe it is possible.

The drink holders look pretty far from the rail and could get in the way! Decent table but I wouldn't drop 250 on it.

I like the all felt top. Looks like a decent table, for sure, and easilty worth 250.

The wheels are not my thing, either. But put it in a poker room with a nautical theme, and it could work. With chairs all around it, you won't see the wheels much anyway. While playing, you won't see them at all.

Enjoy.

I had my first game on the new table on friday night and it was a raging success. We had more people than we needed and people actually had to wait to play. The table is actuallyu really tall and requires stools. I thought this would be really uncomfortable but not one person complained about it. And it's not as though it was a short session either. We started at 7pm and didnt finish until 4am.

The tall table gives you two options. You could play standing up as a break from sitting on a stool, which would be great imo. Or maybe you could remove the wheels, cut the legs enough so that they are flat on the bottom.
