Poker Table Felt

Most people never give any thought to the purchase of poker table felt. We typically think of buying a poker table or poker tabletop, but not simply the felt. But there are several reasons why you might want to buy poker table felt.

1) You’re refurbishing an old table. If you’ve come across an antique poker table, or had one handed down from your family, you may need to replace the felt in order to make the table look good and be useable again.

2) You’re custom designing or building your own poker table. A custom table will need a felt top, and you’re likely to want to pick the felt yourself.

3) You’ve ruined your current poker table. If too many beer spills and cigar burns have left your poker table felt in ruin, you can replace it. This is often the least expensive way to make your table look new again.

If you find yourself in any of these situations, you might be looking for a retailer who can provide lengths of felt for your table. Most poker felt (which is the same as the top of pool tables) can be ordered in lengths beginning at 7 feet long and about 66 inches wide. Poker felt is typically made from 75% wool and 25% nylon.

Poker felt is typically available in a wide variety of colors – not just the dark green you’re accustomed to seeing. So, you can buy felt to match your game room or coordinate well with the other colors on your table.

In addition, many vendors will put custom graphics on your poker felt. This custom poker felt is a bit more expensive, but it will give your poker table a beautiful custom look that matches perfectly with your décor. In most cases, you simply mail a digital image file of your desired image to the felt maker, and they can print the image right on your felt. It’s a bit more expensive, of course, but worth it for a custom table.

Shop around for retailers that carry poker felt. There are quite a few around, both locally and on the internet. Prices may vary significantly, so take the time to be sure that you’re getting the best deal. If you’re having your felt custom printed, allow a little extra time above what it takes to get plain felt.

You’ll love the way your poker table looks with brand new felt. It can really make an old table look just like new, and make a new table pop with custom design and color.
