You can get them all over the place... But Walmart had the best price at the time.
eBay would probably be a good resource too.

What type of glue did you guys use to glue the cup holders down?

Between the 2.75" hole and the leather, it was tight enough fit that I didn't use any, plus it makes it easier to dump them out if they get anything spilled in them
I didn't use any either to make for easy cleaning. I built a "cradle" for them with two blocks of wood with a flat piece of wood between them (on the underside of the table) to 1) prevent them from being pushed through and 2) I put velcro on the bottom of the cup holder and the "cradle" to prevent them from being pulled up.

Ok, thanks. I will skip the glue and see how well I get them to fit inside the hole. Is something underneath the cup holder necessary? Will the cup holder push through towards the floor without a support underneath?

I worried about that too. And you’re 100% right once the game starts you forget it’s even there.
The holes they drill into the plywood of the armrest are significantly larger than the holes they cut in the foam. This means there's not much support underneath the foam so I felt it was necessary to add something additional. See the photos below for what I did. Doing so did require I cut the end part of the legs that come into the contact with the table itself (see white caps) in order to fit the 4 cup holder "cradles" that overlap the leg support bars.

The ones that Moxie Mike and I are using the lip is solid enough that it can't be pulled through unless the hole is way too big
Do you know if any of the holes are as big as the one I pictured? Looking at the ones Moxie bought and the ones I bought, I'd be surprised if there's any significant difference in design/size/materials (I actually bought 3 types and used the ones with the largest lip) so maybe I went overboard but when building I always over do it and live by "better safe than sorry"

Conclusion: you can add support in after the fact easy enough so just do the replacement and if you feel the need to add more support, do it

^^ Easy to add a support or glue rather than add material to a hole you just cut too big
Just to clarify, the large holes in the armrest are pre-cut by the manufacturer and the cradles as opposed to glue, were done so you have the option remove the cup holders if you want.

So I am starting my Barrington table upgrade today. So far I have removed the old cup holders and drilled holes for new cup holders. They used a ton of glue on those old cup holders! 
Just purchased clips to hold the new speed cloth in place. I ended up going with midnight blue from TPS. I will post an updated picture after completion.

Ok so it’s finally done after a few hours. Not perfect by any means but overall not too bad. I’m glad I didn’t spend the extra money on an electric stapler. The handheld heavy duty Stanley stapler worked very well. This is a project that anyone can do so don’t be afraid to upgrade your table! Thanks for all the helpful comments that made this upgrade a breeze.

You did the cup holders as well?
Buge

Yes I put 2 1/4 in deep cup holders in as well. Here is the link for the cup holders I used. They hold a can or bottle without allowing it to tip over. Will not hold anything bigger than a standard beer bottle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W2JBLJJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_title
Finished my upgrade yesterday, very happy with the upgrade but can't add much to the prior "how-to" comments.
Table was a score at $120. I added about $60 in volara & knock-off SSC and the cup holders were from my first, scrapped, table build.
Consider you may have to add some padding to the table. In original condition the playing surface and padding on the table I purchased was incredibly slack and billowy. Had it not been an upgrade project it would have been a return for refund.
Easier to see the degree in the picture with the original felt removed. In real life it was only slightly mitigated by the felt.
I picked up a 84" cover from Casin4You because this table will remain set up in the shop.
Best advice in this thread deserves iteration: label the parts! Especially beneficial if, like me, you are easily distracted and let this sit a couple weeks between dis-assembly and re-assembly

Mine has been apart for months. I think it was also smart to use ABC on one side and 123 on the other half. But time will tell if that was correct.Best advice in this thread deserves iteration: label the parts!

Def a good idea. I marked mine left and right with each rail marked L1,L2,L3,R1,R2,R3. Rails went back on no problem. Just make sure to tighten them down enough so cards don’t slide underneath them. I had to adjust a few spots that were allowing cards to slide underneath.

I didn’t want to question which side of the I was standing on to determine L & R.
I also labeled the legs in a similar fashion.

Haha yea I see what you mean. Name of label didn’t matter as long as they matched up in the end lolI didn’t want to question which side of the I was standing on to determine L & R.

You can do it! All you really need is a staple gun, scissors and a Phillips head screwdriver and you can upgrade it. A power drill def makes the job way easier but can be done without. Keep us posted if you decide to make the upgrade!
@Buge is right. Incredibly easy. It's a great starter project and upgrading the cloth makes a WORLD of difference. Night and day.

Well I’m way more likely to give it a go now. Thanks, y’all.
Anyone still have their shallow cup holders maybe taking up space?
I haven't replaced mine yet, but been planning to do so. Why you need some?
