The first (done with folding legs) could be done for around $300-350 in materials and looks like a $1400 table. There are lots of how-to's, and it's not overly complicated, even though I thought t it might be (when I built my first table), and here's one of my first and one of my latest builds. You can see one of them in the uppermost photo below.Īs for a table, you can get a very nice built table (with good materials) doing it yourself. Upholstered, they're more (probably $25-30 into them). Stainless cupholders for $5 each, puts the cost at $17 ea cart. You can get 4 oak drink carts for $20-30 (~$7 ea). I've even upholstered them w/ poker felt (but you don't have to). I've had success trolling craigslist for TV trays, cutting two 3-5/8" holes in them, and inserting two jumbo drink holders. If you have the room/money, the best option is drink carts. Cupholders in the rail (or in slide-under cup holders) are much preferred. They are chip magnets, and simply take up chip/card real estate. Secondly, cupholders in the play surface are to be avoided if at all possible. In other words, you try to go onto Craigslist and you'll find a ton of hex tables for next to nothing (can't give them away), and fewer ovals (which I think are more desirable). An oval allows more room, and is more standard (current) on the poker table front. You can barely fit 8 people at a hex table comfortably, and certainly not 10. OK, for starters, I think a oval is the way to go.
