That table is only 48" in diameter. It would be very cramped with six players. You should look for a table at least 60" which will seat eight snugly.

i'm actually really curious about this table too...despite its size...looks kinda useful. I need a small portable table like that...but I dont want one with junky padding and felt that pills up...does anyone know the quality of this product? i understand its not gonna be first class.... JJersey

i got one of these in december and for the price it's an excellent buy. there is NO padding and the playing surface isn't actually felt. it felt like i was playing on a rough paper bag. those are my only two complaints. you can easilty get six guys around the table. it's sturdy and the padded arm rest is just the right thickness. plus the legs fold up and it rolls away for easy storage.

i took the whole thing apart about a week ago to see how i could make improvements. made a trip to joann's and bought some headliner and felt, then stopped by home depot to get some plywood. for about $35 and a couple hours of shopping/building i turned it into what looks to be a very nice custom built table. i'd still like to add some drink holders, just need a free weekend. i'll post before/after pics soon.

with the padding added to your table i notice you have less playing surface area did that affect your games in any way?

the inside playing surface is about 30" diameter and the 'racetrack' is about 6" all the way around. works out great because people have their chips/trays on a lower level then the playing area. i've played on tables that had about a 24" diameter playing surface, and surprisingly, it was even big enough!
