Oval Dining Table

an octagon poker table or table top adds a dramatic difference to your home poker games. The richly colored poker felt and padding can really add to the fun and excitement. Plus the shape and size works well when you want a classier look than a long oval table.

One problem many people have with the oval tables and tops is the room they require to use them. A typical oval table is 7 or 8 feet long, so unless you have a large game room or similar space to play, they just won't work for many people. There is also a considerable distance across the board often requiring you to stand up to deal the cards across the table or to reach the pot.

Octagon poker tables and tops were designed for smaller and more intimate games. They seat up to 8 people around an octagon shaped playing area that is about 48 inches across. The pot is easily accessible by all the players and dealing becomes much more efficient.

Another great benefit is that they have a more elegant feel. They just look better in a more quaint setting like a bar or recreation room. You can even find them in oak and other hardwoods adding a real touch of class.
