Whoa! How does this affect foldability and portability of the table? Any issues?

Made it a little lighter
The shuffler just slides in and out so no issues folding or moving the table around

 

[Buge]

Cards won’t get misdealt if slid over the top of it?

Nah, they will slide right over the top. The shuffler is pretty heavy so the cards shouldn’t slide underneath the lip of it. They haven’t slipped under on my other table yet

Added a shuffler to my Barrington today for travel games. I like the idea of upgrading the vinyl. I will put it on the list!

Awesome upgrade... I just wish I could afford one

 

[Buge]

Just wanted to say thank you to this thread. It's been super helpful in my Barrington purchase as well as refurbish.

Where it started...

Phase 1.... New speed cloth, drilled out new same diameter deeper cup holders.

Phase 2... New vinyl and larger diameter cup holders.

Phase 3 maybe will be to raise side the rail and add LED lighting.

Not sure I'm gonna do it yet.

Thank you all for your shares of builds instructions etc.

It's super appreciated.

How many yards of vinyl did you need to redo the rails?

I ordered 3 yards but might have only used 2. I have a lot left.

This is available at Costco Australia for $450AU (~$300 US):

Should I pull the trigger or can I find a better deal here?

 

[jamesjkim]

Has anyone tried something like these to "fill" the gap in the middle? Even when I put my thicker table topper on it, I feel the groove gap and it drives me crazy (I may be too much).

Dont know how much more expensive it is over there, but that's not an amazing deal. If you'd like it, buy it, but its not a must buy at that price.

Is it just me or did Barrington change out the vinyl on newer tables? This is the one I just got and doesn’t appear as shiny as ones posted in this thread. Maybe it’s one of the reasons for prices going up (perhaps as a result of supply shortages)?

It looks much nicer than the old vinyl. Also looks like it has better foam in the armrest.

I just got mine I ordered from amazon today when it went on sale for $258 and it looks like your photo. Also, it's currently back on sale again today for $266.74. It was around $330 prior to this price.

Also, I do see why people upgrade the cup holders to deeper ones since the ones it comes with are pretty shallow. Hopefully a project in the future with all the tutorials provided by everyone.

Wow that armrest looks much better…

Once you have the circular saw bit for your drill, it’s pretty easy. If I get another of these I will do the wider cup holders.

Has anyone put locking caster wheels on their table? Found these that should fit the 1" legs. I put some felt pads under for now to slide the table around without damaging my floor but found it slides a bit too easily and can be knocked/nudged during games.

[ngmcs8203]

The rollerblade style wheels would be nice. Once opened though, I wouldn't really need to move it around.

The new vinyl rail is awesome

Which is the preferred bag for the Barrington? Is it one of these two or something else?

Hengme Bag

Global Storage Bag

 

[jamesjkim]

I got the second one (global storage) and it’s a not a super tight fit which makes putting the table in a bit easier. No issues and is curved on one side matching the table’s profile.

I got the second, works fine. Storage n transport.

I have the Global bag. It works great for a standard Barrington table. I believe the Hengme bag is wide enough for the ESPN Barrington tables though.

Yup the hengme is the one for the ESPN

I have a 72x36 mat that perfectly fits my dining table, but I'm moving into an apartment with less space so the table probably has to go... I was hoping to get a folding table the mat would fit, Barrington surface is 74x32 right? I'm thinking I'm just SOL finding a table to fit the mat but was wondering if anyone has fit off-sized mats to their tables somehow.

You’re way better off finding a table and then customizing a mat for it.

You’re correct. “Standard” sold on Amazon etc are too short length wise and too long width.

Hit up @rjdev7 for a custom mat!

Yeah, I figured, wishing I'd gone for a folding table in the first place, because that's easier to bring with when moving than a dining table.

Have you considered donating the mat to one of your players so they could host once in a while? Might be helpful to have another host while you go through the moving process

Haha, I wish. If I weren't hosting only ~2 others in the group would ever play poker, and even they probably wouldn't host.
