I'm always looking to improve products we offer. I've searched for a very sturdy set of folding legs to use for my tables at a reasonable price for a while. I'm currently using a set which is square steel tubing in black/brown/white. Each half is independent of each other so they can be installed anywhere underneath a table which is nice. They're one of the best I've found for the price and will continue to use for a long time since they are affordable and relatively sturdy. I've never had any complaints about the table not feeling stable or over wobbly.

That being said, in come Gorilla Gaming folding table legs. I've purchased them in bulk as they are EXTREMELY sturdy. Wide rectangular tubing construction, a brace that goes to the middle of the table and links to the other side and very heavy duty hardware make them very solid.

Any custom tables that are purchased from us who want folding legs, will get these new legs (at no extra cost). Our basic tables will still get the old style of legs.

There are drawbacks to these legs, they're not perfect. The biggest being that they are joined at the middle, meaning that if your table is too short then the legs will be very close to the ends. Vice versa, if your table is too long then the legs may be too close to the middle. These legs work well for tables between 80" & 96" which is most tables. These cannot be used on round tables. They also interfere a bit with any extra hardware you may want to add underneath the table. It's not normally a problem but they take up a lot of real estate under the table when folded up.

For any Canadians wanting to purchase the legs by themselves, I have them available for sale. For any US customers, we have them for sale for cheaper than listed by Gorilla due to us purchasing them in large quantities, but after factoring in shipping cost then it may be around the same. Feel free to inquire if you do want to buy them from me. I also ship internationally, anywhere in the world for anyone else who wants them.

Pretty excited about these - just ordered a set for my new table, will chime in with thoughts once I get them together.
 
If anyone's wondering, they retail from Gorilla directly for $169 USD per pair, which is around $228 CAD.
 
How high do they stand?
 
I have these legs on my table. I’m not sure how high they are but they are about an inch or two shorter than your standard folding legs. They look to be the same legs that Rye Park Gaming advertises as the legs they used on the tables they made for the WSOP a few years back...and considerably cheaper. I asked for a quote from them once and I think they were almost double the price if I recall.

I like them. No issues at all and the table is a rock. No wobble at all. You can stack chips at least 40 high without worrying about someone bumping the table and chips flying everywhere.

My understanding is that they're a (good) copy of those legs.
 
Looking forward to seeing them in action :D
 
I need to order a set of these for my table. If you have played on the tables at the wsop with these legs they are solid as a rock.
 
I just installed these on my table, they are great! It's an 8x4 oval. Huge upgrade in stability when someone puts their weight down on one of the long edges. With my old legs (standard kind you'd find at Home Depot), the whole table would shift down on that side and up on the opposite side, as much as an inch or two. With these, there is almost no shifting in the side being pushed down on, and none on the rest of the table. The footprint is great too, just a little wider than the cheapo legs I had before. Most of the legs I saw available with wide connections to the underside of the table had extremely wide bases, which I was pretty apprehensive about. The price is a bit steep for them, but these legs are fantastic!
 
No they're not on the website yet. Are you looking to buy just the legs or adding them to a table order?
 
What is the purpose of the nut that is welded to one of the leg sets? Going to install a set of these on a table tomorrow and there were no instructions in the box. Anything I need to know?

Interesting, I wonder if it is a multi-use part and in a different leg configuration they are assembled with that connection point instead. Curious - does the middle support allow you to put a bolt through it yourself or is it blocked?

if I understand, the middle support uses a bolt with a spacer/bushing to allow one support on each side.

I emailed Gorilla Gaming and got this reply:

We do not have step by step instructions, but we do have some photos that show how all the pieces go together. The photo is some of the old hardware and our older model, but you should find it suitable to get it together:
The nut is there if you want to make a more "permanent" locked leg. You can screw any 1/4" threaded bolt into the opposite side and into that nut for a locked leg.

This was going to be my guess. Lock the legs folded up or lock them down.
I'm smrt!
 
The real WSOP legs have a wing nut there so you can lock them down. I’m not home, or I’d take a picture.
 
Yes my understanding is that it's there too lock the legs in place.
 
I don't think they will fit, they are too far apart
