The game table is the quintessential gaming accessory as it's what you play all your games on. While most settle for folding card tables, large dining room tables, and coffee tables for their gaming space, some take it to the next level. Companies like
BoardGameTables.com and
Geek Chic produce very high end tables with board gaming specifically in mind while still making sure the original functionality of the table is maintained. However, not everyone can afford the high price tag of these tables which run upwards of $2,000 for base models.
Thus, the DIY game table is starting to emerge. The folks over at Webb Pickersgill compiled a list of DIY game tables with links to instructions on how to build the different tables. They range from a table topper that can turn a normal table into a gaming table temporarily to fully functional game tables with cup holders, player areas, and integrated electrical. Heard on over to
Pickersgill's site and then brush up on your carpentry skills and make your own game table.
