From Casual Nights to Tournament Feel
When the stakes are high and the chips are stacked, nothing sets the scene quite like a custom poker table.
For poker enthusiasts and home game hosts, it’s about the atmosphere. A well-designed poker table enlivens the experience, making every hand feel more official and more exciting.
Quality matters here.
A wobbly card table or a too-small surface can kill the vibe faster than a bad bluff. That’s why custom poker tables for home are the ace up your sleeve: they let are tailored to your space, your style, and your poker crew.
Custom Poker Table Shapes
The shape of your table influences sightlines, chip access, and how the game flows. Let’s break down the options:

Oval Poker Table
The classic. Oval poker tables are the go-to choice for Texas Hold ’Em nights, offering smooth lines and seating that keeps everyone in clear view.The elongated design gives the dealer prime access to every player, while maintaining that casino-style presence.

Round Poker Table
Round tables bring the intimacy. Best for smaller groups, they foster conversation and keep everyone equidistant from the pot. A round poker table is perfect for casual play or when your home doubles as the neighborhood card club.

Octagon Poker Table
Want something with a little edge? An octagon table gives you the charm of a round table but with a defined seat for each player. Eight sides mean eight equal spots, eliminating the awkward shuffle for elbow room.

Rectangle Poker Table
Sharp, sleek, and space-savvy. Rectangular poker tables can double as multipurpose game or dining tables, making them an excellent pick for modern homes. They often come with leaf extensions or toppers, adding versatility to the mix.

Square Poker Table
Unexpected, but stylish. Square poker tables create a balanced look while maximizing use of smaller rooms. Ideal for four-handed play, they’re also a chic alternative for game nights that go beyond poker.
Table Size and Seating Capacity
A custom poker table should fit your space as seamlessly as it fits your playing style.
Optimal Size
Start by measuring your game room or entertainment area.
Leave at least 3 feet of clearance around the table so players can pull out chairs comfortably.

Player Counts
Standard oval tables seat 8–10, while round and octagon designs typically seat 4–8. If you host tournaments, lean larger; if your games are intimate, smaller is smarter.
Many of our customers choose oval tables for weekly Hold ’Em tournaments, while smaller groups love the intimacy of round designs.

Comfort & Legroom
Nothing ruins a poker night like cramped knees. Prioritize wider tables (at least 42″ across) for legroom, and choose pedestal bases or trestle legs to minimize obstructions.

Custom Table Materials and Finishes
The material choices are where your table goes from practical to personal.


Felt & Cloth
This is where personality shines. Traditional green is iconic, but custom felt options now span every shade—from royal blue to jet black. You can also opt for patterned cloths, speed cloth for slicker dealing, or even custom designs with logos.

Liners & Details
Chip liners and coaster inlays protect your wood finish and add polish.
When designing, it’s smart to consider the color of your furniture in the surrounding space so your poker table complements cabinets, flooring, or even your bar stools for a cohesive look.
