Since I'm resurfacing it anyway, I was thinking that a hole saw would do the trick.
Can it be done? Any issues or drawbacks?

I don't recall - I wanna say 84x42 but I'll have to measure later today.Since you popped in here, @CraigT78, what's the dimensions of your table?
Just to be clear, I was asking about the one you built. Do you have a Barrington?I don't recall - I wanna say 84x42 but I'll have to measure later today.
I borrow a couple when i have larger games, but I want to pick up a few of my own. The cup holders have been the deal breaker to this point.Just to be clear, I was asking about the one you built. Do you have a Barrington?
I suppose one would have to pull the cup holders in order to fold the table for storage, as well.I resurfaced mine and thought about replacing the cupholders.
Only drawback I could see is the larger cupholders depth below the table possibly being hit by a knee, but probably not a real issue.
Otherwise should be pretty straight forward.
The current cupholders are fairly useless and are a spill waiting to happen

This. Once you take the cost of the table and the upgrades, a self built table isn't all that much more. As long as one has the tools availableI would rather just build my own table.

I built my two tables for just under $500 each. With that said, the custom felt and the upgraded legs were 1/2 of that cost. If you went with suited speed cloth and budget legs - probably ballpark of $260 to $300.I have not attempted to build one yet. But I do like that it folds in half for storage. Out of curiosity what does it typically cost to build? I have a budget one all ready to go that aside from lumber I have spent under $100 on.

While looking at reviews of the Lancaster (same as Barrington) table on Amazon, I found a series of photos from someone who had put full-size cupholders in their table, using a hole saw, and apparently no other alteration to the table.
It appears that the Barrington is the best value for a folding table ($169 from Walmart, last I checked), but consider the extra cost you may incur, like cup holders, hole saw suited speed cloth, and any other upgrades you may put into your table. It still may be the best value for what you need.Thank you for posting this! I have been looking through tons of threads here for a foldable decent quality table with usable cup holders. Everyone was speculating about these cup swaps, but now I know it’s possible. I am still debating buying a Barrington and altering or going custom, but this really helps.

Hey there is there a specific guide you followed to do this? I want to do the same with mine!I resurfaced the rail sections with new vinyl and 65 lb foam, and just did away with cup holders. The wood base still has missing cup holder circles that I left, but you can’t really feel through foam and definitely can’t see. I use slide under cupholders, but don’t slide them under the rail. To date no spills.

Awesome thank you. Any personal recommendations for the vinyl, foam, or speed cloth? Lot of options out there too many to choose from.I unscrewed the parts, took out the existing foam and vinyl, cut out foam to match the shapes of the 6 rail pieces, and then wrapped each shape in vinyl. Then screw the parts back together. Good luck!
Not exactly cheap, but I got a poker table kit from yourautotrimAwesome thank you. Any personal recommendations for the vinyl, foam, or speed cloth? Lot of options out there too many to choose from.
