When choosing a poker table with chairs, start by deciding whether you’re going to have it always on display or store it away whenever you’re not using it. In the second case, looks will matter less and you can focus on portability and foldable models.
Be realistic when it comes to the number of players, too: if you only ever play poker with another friend or three, a space-saving poker table for four will do; however, if you want to host big poker games and space isn’t a problem, you can find larger and more majestic models. A good compromise is to look for a smaller but expandable table.
Either way, you need a felt surface that’s high-quality and smooth enough to deal the cards easily and without flipping accidents.
You also want comfortable chairs with padding and where you can see yourself sitting for hours.
Finally, don’t forget about its design! Try and look for a poker table with chairs that match your room’s décor, whether that’s your living room or game room. You can do so by scouting for a similar finish and material or even a felt top in a color that complements your palette.
The most common types of poker tables seat between 4 to 8 players. If you plan on hosting smaller, more intimate poker sessions, a square table seating 4 will do; however, if you frequently have additional friends over, and prefer extra elbow room, so nobody sneaks a peek at your cards, then an octagon table seating 6 to 8 is recommended.
Poker junkies will likely need an oval poker table seating approximately 10 players. In the last case, consider a flip top poker table with chairs that can double as a dining table as well.
Poker tables are available in various sizes. However, a typical casino poker table has a length of between 90 to 104 inches, a width of 44 inches, and a height of 30 inches. Ultimately, there's no standard sizing for poker tables as it depends on the manufacturer and the shape of the table as well.
However, there is a poker table out there to fit practically any space. The most common shapes include oval, octagon, round, and square poker tables. Essentially, if you want to know how much space you need for a poker table with chairs, you'll need at least 3 feet of clearance around a poker table for adequate seating and movement around the room.
