Poker Table Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Right BBO Table for Your Setup

🃏 Poker Table Buyer’s Guide – How to Choose the Right BBO Table for You

So you’re ready to upgrade poker night — good call.

A real poker table makes the game feel legit, whether you're playing with friends, hosting a weekly tournament, or building out your dream game room. But with so many types out there, it can be tough to know which one’s right for you.

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the BBO table that actually fits your space, your playing style, and your plans.

🔄 Folding vs. Fixed Poker Tables

Folding tables are great for flexibility.
If you don’t have a dedicated game room, or you want to be able to move your table easily, this is the way to go. BBO’s folding options are sturdy but designed to be stored away between games.

Fixed or “furniture-style” tables are for people who want a permanent setup — something that looks as good as it plays. These usually come with optional dining tops, which lets the table double as a dining room and game night piece. 

🪑 What Type of Player Are You?

🏠 Casual Player / Apartment Setup
Go with the Ultimate Folding Table. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and sets up in minutes. No frills — just a solid table that gets the job done.

🃏 Home Game Host / Man Cave Build
Check out the Nighthawk. It’s got a sleek look, sturdy build, and it can come with a dining top, so it fits right into your space even when you’re not playing. It’s a good middle ground between casual and pro.

🎯 Competitive Player / Full Game Night Setup
