anyone have experience with a stretch to fit type felt table cover? like those sold on ebay etc? if so how are they, or any other recommendations appreciated.

i've also wondered about using neoprene for the rails...sort of like the way those squishy wrist things work (the ones in front of some keyboards so you don't get carpal tunnel)...that would either feel really cool, or really wierd.

I bought one off ebay just to cover my kitchen table. I think it was 30 bucks or something like that. It's good for what I bought it for. Certainly not like a real poker table, but it gives you a MUCH MUCH better feel than just using the table or a table cloth or something. It also comes with a piece of foam to put under the felt. I'm very happy with mine, and would highly recommend it.

could you post pics of the underside of it? is it a drawstring or elastic??

No digital camera, sorry - it's about the only toy I don't have yet. It is a drawstring though, and it pulls pretty tight. Certainly tight enough to take any wrinkles out of the felt and to make it very enjoyable to play on.
