Almost Perfect - Review written on May 29, 2008

For the price, this poker table was the best that I could find. Looked great right out of the box. Had a card game with my friends. Everyone, complimented me on my new poker table. I didn't think the poker table was that big of a deal, but my friends were very interested in buying one also. Like the title says, "Almost Perfect", the only flaw with my poker table is that one of the legs did not lock into place. However, that's not a big deal since the other 3 did. I'm also lucky enough to be able to store it behind our entertainment center.

As a previous review stated: The table arrived with nearly no box. It appeared as though various pieces of cardboard were reattached with tape by FedEx. Though some of the packaging was missing, the table survived without damage. For the money, this table can't be beat. However, two of the four folding legs did not fully open. The spring pins that snap into place once the legs are extended (on the two bad legs) had corroded against the metal tubing and separated - leaving the pins non-functional. I could have rolled the dice - returned the package - and hoped for a better outcome with another shipment, but I decided to fix the problem myself. Having removed the broken spring pins and reassembling the legs, I drilled the existing spring-pin holes and inserted a 3/8 hitch pin instead (common hardware store item). The table now works and looks great. It seems that ordering this item may be a little risky - but worth the gamble (if you have the tools).

I consider this poker table to be worth the money. The table top felt would be better if it had some extra cushion underneath it but is OK as is. When 8 players are sitting at table it is fairly snug but again OK. A recessed tray for chips would be better than the "slot" type chip holder on the table but the slot type holder is OK. The table is excellent to use in confined areas as due to size. Fold up legs and light weight make it very easy to store.
Great Price!!! Great Table!!! Rugged!! - Review written on March 06, 2008

Great Price!!! Great Table!!! You will not find a better priced table. Very sturdy and rugged, and idiot proof for your freinds who can't hold on to their beverages or their ashes. The cup holders are not really holders, so be careful with your drinks. Now I am not sure how long the felt will last, but 1 month in with lots of play and the felt has only shedded, but is still fully intact. I use to own a wooden table very similar to this table. The wooden tables are at the least $300.00. This does the job perfectly. Folds up nicely too. The only issue I had was the shipping. It was free, but the box it was shipped in was almost non-existent when FedEx arrived. I inspected the table with no problems amazingly. I beleive another reviewer mentioned his box was destroyed during shipping also. So make sure you can be home to inspect the shipment.

We were very surprised at the quality of the table for the money. Felt it was really a good buy. Husband's poker buddies thought it cost more than it did.

Highly recommend the table for the money.
Good quality table for a reasonable price - Review written on August 09, 2007

I thought that this item was too good to be true for the price. I was wrong. It's a very high quality, sturdy table with more than enough space for eight players. Many of these poker tables are flimsy and are too small and cramped for any big groups of people. However, the construction of this item is very solid. And, because it was bought through Amazon, I not only didn't have to pay sales taxes, by using Super Saver I didn't even have to pay for shipping.

This table is pretty solid. Fairly heavy for a folding table, and slightly unstable. The instability in my case comes from one of the legs being slightly shorter then the other 3. Also, the mechanism for locking the legs in place is a metal button that pops out through a hole, and it has gotten stuck a couple times trying to push it back in. Locking the legs in place when setting up the table hasn't been a problem. In addition to that, it came originally without one of the rubber feet that goes on the bottom of the legs and I had to badger RIO into sending me one, which they did after 3 weeks, for free. They had a replacement program running for an entire line of tables that were shipped out without feet (not the poker table) and seemed not surprised at all that their stuff was sent out with missing pieces. The chip trays as well are slightly too small so that when you have chips lined up in there it's tight and they're not as easy as they should be to get them out, though thats being a bit nitpicky. All of that said, for this price you're not going to find anything better, and its performed pretty well for a full table of people on several occasions so far. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for and this thing is cheap.
Great table for the money... - Review written on May 17, 2007

The table is surprisingly sturdy and pretty well made. The plastic is very heavy duty, the felt is smooth and tightly pulled, and the legs are good quality steel.
The table may have been stored in a damp location because the underside had a bit of rust. But who cares since its on the bottom.
Finally, I may not trust the cup holders all that much. I did have the table on a carpet so that might have added to the instability, but overall it seemed a little unstable.
I am glad I bought this table- its a great bargain and great bang-for-your-buck.

The table appeared to be exactly expected regarding quality. The shipment was also timely. Unfortunately, we had to return the table as "the style was not quite right" for the situation of our game room.
