How do you use it? Simply flip the table top and voila, you have transformed your kitchen table into a gaming table! For other models, you might have to slide the table top off to expose the game table cloth surface. However, when you convert the table, do it slowly. You don't want to damage the wood finish on the dining top side.

Be careful when buying a used poker table. Chances are, the seller has abused it till the maximum by smoking and gambling away when he owned it. He or she might even have hit the table multiple times with their fists! Therefore, check the gaming table cloth for any smoke particles and dirt. The cleanliness of the table cloth is your main concern, apart from the table's sturdiness. Also, check the table for any loose or wobbly mechanisms.

Do not rest anything heavy on the table top. For most poker dining tables, there is a rail through the edges or pivot points for the flipping or sliding mechanism. You risk damaging the table top mechanism if you put heavy items on the table top.
