A very good professional table all round, but treat with respect!
"Pros:
The table looks striking when assembled. Annoyingly you can't get a variety of colours but the red is nice none the less, particularly if you have other furniture in red or black in your room (luckily I do!). The parts are very sturdy and you can tell the quality feel in them.
It is also large enough to encompass up to 10 players, although to be realistic considering the amount of chairs you need, you should aim for about 6-8 max. on any given poker night.
The drinks holders fit in nicely and hold pretty much any normal glass or pint beverage. Some bottles will fit also as well as some cans, but you might struggle with fatter bottles of ales and such.
Putting it together is also relatively easy, albeit some parts are a little fiddly (see later). You will have it up in less than an hour easily from opening the boxes, however due to the large parts it is essential that you have two people working on this.
Cons:
Some screws/parts are a little fiddly when assembling so be careful with them. The screws don't fit into the leather outside as well as you would hope so you notice that some of the leather surround is fixed tight and some is a bit more loose if you lean heavily on it, but like I said in the title, if you treat the table with respect, no issues will arise, just don't elbow lean on it with all your weight like you do on a dining table.
Also please note that once this table is up, it isn't coming down. Once everything is screwed in, you won't want to take it apart time-wise. And it takes up a large amount of space so be certain it will fit and that you won't want anything else in its place!
I would advise against eating off it as well for general dining purposes as you risk messing up the felt as well as have the issue of a raised surround. I'm working on this by seeing if a glass worker can cut an insert large enough to "plug" the hole.
Verdict:
All in all it's a great table."

"I was reluctant to buy this ( or any other table ) online as I wanted to see and try the table out first. I didnt want anything that looks or feels cheap. A friend recommended this company to me and they were right. The service is excellent, I have no complaint what so ever. The table is legendary ! You won't find a better quality if you go to a boutique casino. I definitely recommend this for everyone that loves poker."

"Ordered this on the Monday and arrived on Wednesday. Really impressed with the service, having never ordered from drinkstuff before. Really easy to assemble and went from the two boxes to fully assembled in 10 minutes! Looks great and fits nicely in the spare room! Roll on the poker nights!"

"When I first came across the table it was out of stock. I asked to be e-mailed as soon as it was back in stock. Within 5 days (which included the weekend) the table and chairs were delivered. Great service.
It looks even better in the flesh; the pictures do not do it enough justice!! It was easy to assemble (only took me 15mins!!)
The only bad point was that the MRS was not impressed with her new dining table (told her I had ordered a great table and chairs) I didn’t lie, me and my mates do think it looks great!!!
Another great product delivered on time that looks great.
Thanks Drinkstuff

"I had to wait a few months for this table to come in to stock, but it was definately worth waiting for. It looks superb and it's a great table to play poker on. Not sure why people had a hard time assembling it either, I found it pretty simple."
Mathew Collins - Bridgend, 1st December '06
"Just to let you know, that I purchased the burgundy poker table with drinks holders for £299.99, I must say that all the people who come to play on my weekend games envy me, we used to go to all our houses as a change of scenery but now they just want to play on my table, I would just like to say thanks a lot, the assembly was so easy and the table is very sturdy , I am so impressed, and I look forward playing poker and taking chips of them on my new super super poker table, all my mates and family want one, so get ready for a back log of orders.......'CHEERS DRINKSTUFF'.

"This is a superb looking table and i was generally pleased with my purchase, poker is an absolute pleasure to play on it! Two words of warning, its not in stock very often and i had to wait nigh-on a month for it to be delivered. When it finally arrived it was VERY hard to put together and i still have 2 screws left over from trying to affix the legs correctly?! But if you are willing to wait a while and put in the elbow grease putting it together then i feel this was a great purchase.
drinkstuff says: Gary placed a pre-order for the table when it was not in stock, they arrived 10 days later and delivery was completed 7 days later. It does state on the description that special courier arrangements are made and it does fall outside our normal 2-3 day service. With regards to constructing the table, we have built one for our showroom and found it quick and easy, the vinyl surround just requires screwing to the table top and the legs screwing underneath."

"The cup holders are a great idea, When using a slim glass or drinking from cans it is almost impossible to knock a drink over when resting in these."
Pete - London, 14th January '06
"This table is great, I am so glad I went for a table with cup holders. A can of beer or a slim glass fits snuggly into them avoiding spillages on the swish burgundy cloth. 10 out of 10 drinkstuff."
