LOL, the reason it has never been used is because no one would sit next to that thing....His friends probably laughed their arses off when they saw it.

I've never seen so many ash trays at a table.

Hey Noel -- did you ever email the winner of that one table (indoor/outdoor brown carpet) and find out the details?

The design is fugly, but the craftsmanship is nice.
The extra ashtrays could be removed and the space used for shot glasses.

Oh my!!! There's no way I could play at that table...too many smokers. (no offenseto all you smokers, I just don't like being in a room full of smoke.

with all that wood, I don't know if smoking around it is a good idea...looks like his poker table got into a fight with a craps table...

The awkward thing is having your chips on a seperate island from the playing table. You can't push your chips all in.

Other than that, I agree with the previous post, the guy did a good in the wood craftsmanship. To me a poker table should add to creating the casino atmosphere. This table would remind me that we're still in the dining room.

I don't know how great the craftmanship is, it's not like he built the thing from scratch. He just converted his kitchen table to a poker table.

Also....it's pretty ugly.

I agree! That table is absolutely horrible! You coudn't pay me to put that in my poker room!

Hey, I'm going to stick up for this guy. He had some good ideas. For example, it seems he was going for an alternative to a racetrack, where each player gets their own real-estate for shuffling their chips, etc. (I like the look of a racetrack but would be afraid the wood would get scuffed and prefer to shuffle my chips close to the rail on felt).

I originally thought the ash trays were cup holders, and I'm sure they could be retrofit into cup holders, so that's not a problem. And there's lots of room on the corners to put food (which wouldn't be allowed on most people's poker tables).

Of course, there are several flaws (someone noted you can't push your chips in). Also, it only has room for 6 players... and comes with 4 chairs...

Oh yeah, and it's kind of ugly... but I can appreciate what he was going for.

*EDIT* I just noticed that there ARE already brass cup holders... Okay, hopefully those ash trays are just sitting there and can be removed. This table would probably be best if all of the poker-related parts could be lifted off so it can still be used as a diningroom table!
