High Hand
Well, I had won a poker table top from BBO Poker Tables from an email sign up contest they had through Pocket 5's Forum (see the attached image for the table--same pattern but I didn't snap a picture of mine for a good reason, so keep reading). It is just a poker table top, but of high quality: speedcloth, pretty cool design, heavy and high quality materials, etc. It arrived today, and I was excited to put it together. I found when I opened it that the shipping company had damaged the armrests. Agh! I contacted the company tonight to get it replaced.
Now I would have taken a picture of my actual table, but it is a 5 piece design where the base is two pieces held together by two keystone armrests and the actual table top sits in the middle. After assembling it, despite the damage, I came to find that the table top does not fit in the base. It should be snug, but it is more than that. It simply won't fit. I measured the edges of the table top and some seem to be slightly off, by about 1/16'' to 1/8'' on 2-3 sides. It may not be much, but it doesn't mean it doesn't have a big effect. Not sure if the table top is self was also damaged in shipping leading to the improper fit, but it will be another couple weeks before I have a table to take pictures of myself and share with you all once I get a response as to how to proceed from BBO.
