1st World Board Gaming Problems...

I love their stuff and the Greene & Greene style of the Sultan would actually go very well with the rest of our Arts & Crafts style furniture. Unfortunately, two kids in college who have a car that I think is going to need a new transmission means probably not any time soon...

That's an awesome looking table and some very fine craftsmanship but as I mentioned in another thread somewhere on the innerwebs that was talking about the same model, it would drive me crazy that I couldn't slide my chair up underneath it so I would pass on this one personally (not to mention the $10k being a bit of a stepping stone as well :) )

Not sure what you mean by that. Those tables can be designed to stand as high as four feet. When you plunk down the down payment they have a valet contact you several times to go over specifications, to vet your purchase to make sure you're not buying the most expensive table, but the correct one for your needs. Certainly the small requirement of being able to slide a chair underneath wouldn't be a problem. While they charge a hefty price for customization, IIRC table height up to four feet is gratis.

Lastly, there are a number of tables there for far less than $10k - depending on size, customization, et al.

About time those kids learned the value of physical exercise by walking places, doncha think?  ;D

You don't see a problem sliding a chair in under this table?  I think that I'd specify that those bottom rails not be included....

I was thinking the same thing.  I'd want to be able to slide my chair beneath.  Maybe most hardcore gamers spend most of their time standing?

Not this old man!   8)

I think it's supposed to be a foot rail. Your chair/lap would go under the table surface enough to work comfortably at the table.
I think they picture using a bar stool as a chair. That's how I'm building my table. I've got 27" bar stools and the table surface is high enough to work at standing or sitting.

[BanzaiCat]

I think Barth is right. At least, that's what I've seen of the TableTop vids; Wil has everyone on stools at the table. I didn't think twice about it until reading these posts.

[Barthheart]

These are like the stools I'm using. The seat swivels.

See, this is exactly what I tell my wife. I mean, Indianapolis to Bloomington isn't that far. With a good pack they could do the trip in a couple of days.

[Bison]

We use a stool, spare dinning table chair, and my old computer desk chair.

I think I'd just go with stools if I cared enough about having matching seats.
