That’s a big “it depends.” Each game table is built from the ground up, so pricing reflects the time, materials, and dedication that go into every project. The main factors are size, wood species, accessories, and overall design complexity. My simpler builds typically start around $4,500 CAD, with fully custom or more detailed tables ranging higher.

Every quote I create is personalized to your vision so you know exactly what you’re getting and what it will cost before the build begins.

2) please reach out via my contact form, and we can open the conversation and finalize the details about your table and I can answer any questions that you may have.

3) After finalizing the details and price of the table I require a $250 CAD queue-holding deposit that locks in your spot in my queue and begins the initial paper work and design process on my end.

4) A few weeks before your build will start I require a second deposit that is 50% of the remainder, this covers materials and initial production costs.

5) After the build is completed and the table is crated and weighed the final invoice will be sent and is due before shipping. This process keeps everything clear and ensures your build stays on schedule.

I typically work with a variety of domestic hardwoods including walnut, maple, cherry, and ash. Each has its own color, grain, and character. I also can source a variety of domestic and exotic woods if you are truly looking for a one of a kind custom piece.

All my tables are finished with a durable water based polyurethane in a satin sheen that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while protecting it from everyday wear.

Absolutely! Many of my clients want a table that works for both gaming and everyday life. With the addition of an inset or full topper, your game table can easily switch between game time and dinner time without interruption to your game.

It’s a great way to make the most of your space without giving up style or function. Add in a topper block to store your toppers when not in use to keep them in pristine condition. Take a look at my portfolio for examples of both styles of toppers.

Keeping your table in great shape is simple. Use warm water with a mild soap with take care of about 90% of all cleaning. Avoid using harsh cleaners or acidic type cleaners as it can start to degrade the finish over time.

Yes. I specialize in custom game tables.
The majority of the tables I build are fully custom, designed around your space, the games you play, and how you like to use the table day to day. From size and layout to materials, finishes, and accessories, every detail is tailored to you.

To learn more about the options available and how the design process works, I recommend taking a look at my board game table build guide. It walks through sizes, features, and customization choices to help you start shaping the right table for your home.

For the right person, yes, game tables are absolutely worth it. A well-designed game table becomes more than just furniture. It creates a dedicated place for gathering, ongoing games, and shared time without constant setup and teardown. If tabletop gaming is already a meaningful part of your life, a game table can elevate how often and how comfortably you play.

That said, they are not the right fit for everyone. If games only come out a few times a year, or if flexibility and minimal furniture are your top priorities, a dedicated game table may not make sense.

If you want a deeper, honest breakdown of who game tables are best suited for, what to consider before investing, and real world examples from my clients, I recommend reading my Are Game Tables Worth It? article. It walks through the decision in more detail to help you decide if a game table fits your lifestyle.
