Picking out the Best Folding Card Table and Accessories

By Brian Garvin

If you want a good quality folding card table and accessories, probably the best place to start your comparison-shopping is online. Actually, your shopping for this is going to have several parts to it, ideally.

Before you go searching for your folding card table and accessories, it would be good to determine what you want. Also, consider your budget. The first thing to figure out is what you want. What material do you want your table to be made out of, wood, resin, or metal? How much are you willing to spend? Are your folding card table and accessories set going to be just informal games, or is it going to be an investment that you plan to use for many years? You should answer all these questions before you begin your search for your folding card table and accessories.

What material is it made from?

Although wood is the most stylish material your folding card table and accessories can be made from, it costs a lot. In fact, the upper end tables can go for as much as $400, including chairs. However, there are some good resins or other tables you can get that are produced from cheaper materials that look a lot like wood. They are actually even more durable because they do not ruin from water damage like wood can. So resin or plastic tables are a good alternative for someone that does not want to layout a lot of money.

Metal is a fair choice, however it looks like what it is, and it is not simple to disguise it as you can with some resins. Meaning if you want a table that appears as if it is real wood, but has the strength to last through many years, you should select a "wood look" resin, or something like it.

What you will be paying

If you want to treat your card table as if it was a well made piece of furniture, and not abuse it, and if you are willing to invest a considerable amount of money on a table, then a $400 wood table set that comes with chairs is a great choice.

However, you should know that you can go much cheaper and be just as sturdy (if not quite as attractive) if you go with metal or resin. Again, what you'll pay will run you roughly $100 for a table and four chairs to $400 and better for a table and four chairs. So again, it depends on your budget, but don't think that you have to spend a huge amount of money to get a good quality folding card table and accessories.

Buying your folding card table and accessories

Earlier, I said there were several parts to this. The first things you'll need to do are to determine what you want to buy and what your budget is. Next, go online and do some comparison-shopping to get a good idea of what's out there. With that information in hand, you can then go out and look at folding card tables and accessories firsthand.

Something to note here is that although you might still want to purchase online, because it is less costly to do so, you still will want to get a firsthand look at the items. As you are doing that, write down the model names, materials, etc., and then go back online to finalize your purchase after you compare the information you have written down.

With a bit of thinking ahead, and some work, you should be able to find an excellent folding card table and accessories for a cost that is reasonable, and within your budget. It will give you much enjoyment when playing your future card games.
