Reminds me of a table my son made for his final school project, all the material was reclaimed from outdoor garden sets, an old dining table, some hard wood decking. He laminated the a top offset to 30 degrees, the CNC routered a square out of the centre, the made a backgammon and chess board glued face to face that would fit into the cut away. He designed and build a hidden lever that fit between two sliding draws to lift the centre section, therefore you could have the original laminate pattern, chess or backgammon or and additional piece that had glass designed to hold a photo. I love designs that make the most of the available space.

One of the best gaming coffee tables I've seen. Love the use of the bottom slats as player desk surfaces!

Over 12 minutes in before he steals something from his neighbor. I was getting worried for a minute.

The table’s design is absolutely genius, but what gets me even more than that is how smoothly the humor rolls in your chill voice.

Now I know you’re my kind of guy. Ticket to Ride is the best board game ever.

I hope everyone has a kind and helpful neighbour as Drew does.

Not only is this a mighty fine gaming coffee table, but I'll be using some of these tips and tricks. Holding a small piece at the router table in a clamp just makes a lot of sense. Aligning a mark out in the middle by putting it near a piece of blue tape (which I'm assuming you measured from the edge to align, which you cannot easily do with the mark alone) is pretty smart. I'll be using that hole drilling in the end of a dowel trick, even if I have to invent a reason in my next project to use it -- pretty slick! And who knew a supply of all the leather you'll need is only one driveway away! :)

Love the table. This is the first coffee table sized one I have seen. I gotta say the build quality was great. Everything fit together perfectly, and the piston to get the first Leaf out so everything can fit so perfectly is an amazing idea. Drawers are great but I really Love making the leaves function as a gaming tray. That is the first I have seen of that kind. Makes sense with a coffee table sized board. But you didn't stop there, you added additional trays at the base so you can have 2 styles of player trays. I love it. Great design. I wish I could transfer this stuff to the table I am planning. Instead I may just have to build a coffee table after I finish the main table.
