Hopefully going to take the plunge on my first Chanman table very soon.
From the tables you have built, what would you absolutely do again and what would you do differently?
I am going to be doing an oval table with a custom felt. Probably my biggest questions are around a raised rail or not and thoughts on cup holders. I am not going to be doing a racetrack.
I plan on having the table be able to be both a stand-alone table with folding legs and as a table topper after removing the folding legs. Tony has indicated this is an option. If anyone else has done this or had experience with this and had thoughts I’d be interested in that too.
EDIT
I had originally intended to have this be relatively portable and convertible to a table topper. I am now scrapping the table topper completely and it will just be used as a standalone table. I still might want some portability because I don’t have the dedicated poker room that some on PCF have. So I am weighing the portability of a folding table with the sturdiness and appeal of a more solid base.
Question is two-fold:
1) Does anyone have a non-standard table that has a raised rail on folding legs? Is it sturdy and/or do you regret not upgrading the legs?
2) For those with non folding legs, what do you have and how do you like it? How hard was it to put together/tear down.
Of note I am not considering the $1000+ upgrades like boomerang base (as awesome as it is).
Just looking for any thoughts before I pull the trigger.
Thanks!
