Folding Poker Table
Note about Poker Table Felt - Many first time customers are expecting these fabrics to be made of felt like you find in a fabric store. The only felt above that is a actual felt is the poker layout. All of the other options are made with durable, long lasting polyester. Some of them are waterproof and stain resistant.
Custom Poker Tables
You do not want to use regular felt as an upholstered option on your poker table. It is a limited use material. It is fine as a felt layout that is laid on a table and used a few times. However, as it is being played on, it will start to ball up, making little fuzz balls all over the playing surface. You can take a razor blade and cut the fuzz balls off, but each time you do this it is making the felt thinner.
