Ideas on converting an old folding table into a game table?

Hey all,

I've been wanting to host game nights at my place, and was hoping to use an old folding table I have since it fits nearly under my couch (I have a small apartment) and, is cheaper than buying a whole new table.

Of course, I can use the table as-is (it's just a standard folding table after all) but I was hoping I could get some ideas on ways to have it better suit tabletop gaming.

Right now my only idea is to get a neoprene mat for the top, but I don't have any good ideas on how to non-destructively adhere it to the top of the table.

  • It really depends on the types of game-nights you host.

    If its poker, blackjack etc. it might be a good idea to put some felt over the table with prints of where to put the chips, the cards, the dealer etc.

    If you are also into old-school chess and checkers you might want to consider interchangeable tops (just cut out a piece of the table where you can put in the boards, kind of lile you can see in the picture)

    hope that helps!
