I am planning a permanent gaming table, any thoughts on the best height to go for would be appreciated guys.
I'm thinking of something around 85cm, kitchen counter height. I will avoid the obligatory Purps gag, just to be good.

Re: Optimum table height
But at 85cm, you’d need a step ladder when you invited Purps round? Or would that just not happen?
Re: Optimum table height
If Purps makes you gag, then maybe you’re both doing it wrong?

Re: Optimum table height
Given that none of us is getting any younger, I would have a serious chat with Levied Troop of this parish, whose group has - IMO - the best table height of any participation/demo game you will see at shows in the UK. It's a bit higher than kitchen counter top, but then (a) you get much more storage space underneath and (b) you don't get people leaning on and/or filling the actual playing area with unsightly junk due to the big "put your clutter here" areas at each end.

Re: Optimum table height
The shed table is kitchen worktop height, Dave. I have my painting table the same height - not that that's particularly relevant.World2dave wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 1:24 pm I am planning a permanent gaming table, any thoughts on the best height to go for would be appreciated guys.

Re: Optimum table height
mine are kitchen units at standard height. Works well for playing a game or a worktop when standing (scenery making etc)
Re: Optimum table height
My table will be held up by big breasted naked wenches. And they will make it whatever height I like.
Re: Optimum table height
Definitely.
I would probably even give it a couple more inches.
Cut out the obligatory crotch photo and games look so much bette pr with height.
I was always rather enamoured with LTs size.
Looks like somebody has found themselves a dedicated wargames room?

Fill your boots with my last post. Euphemism wise.
