I use my solid wood dining table so I can rest both elbows on while I contemplate my next blunder 😂

I just went & got a unique solid wood single pillar table today exclusively for chess. It has drawers & it does look nice. Its 30" so i hope its comfortable. I was thinking of adding modern hydraulic pump platform like an office chair or Barbershop chair has & wheels. But..as u said. It is then heavy, bulky and un mobile. But i think im ok with that. But i agree, we should put some time & thought into the tables we play on.

Great video. I am glad that I am not the only person who thought this deeply about chess table criteria. Recently, I went through a similar analysis and came to similar conclusions. I purchased a table with a 32" x 48" top surface. The table height was too high, at 31". My chessboard with feet pads sits 5/8" proud. I am 6' tall, and the seats of my chairs are 18.5" from the floor. For comparison, most library tables are 29" high, a good height for reading a book lying flat on the table and taking notes. Most dinner tables are 30" high. I wanted my table as low as possible and still allow: 1. legs to move comfortably under the table 2. comfortably leaning on my elbows while studying the board 3. comfortably taking notes - forearm can lay flat on the table while writing. I didn't want the table so low that only my wrist would rest on the table while writing. I cut the length of my table legs so that the table is now just over 28" from the floor. The chessboard top surface is now precisely 28 3/4" off the floor. This is a perfect height for me using my chairs.

Iwas wondering if you, Al Su could tell me how to get in touch, I mean with a real person , at Chessnut? My Chessnut Air has stopped working. I have sent at least 4, I think 5 emails over a two week period {which is how long I've had the board) and they have failed to respond, except to say send your request to a different department which also doesn't respond. You have any suggestions? Their "you're a valued customer" ring hollow.

What does Chesstnut have to do with chess tables? Why are you sending a personal and private message to the creator of this video in the public comments section? No one wants to eavesdrop on your personal problems with Chessnut. In the future, please stay on topic. Now that I have wasted your time, we are even.

I have a folding table similar to yours without the split in the middle. more space for puzzle books, tablet for your e-board, drinks. Sometimes keep a goban setup as well. A wooden table is more solid and less shaky but the plastic one works and is more versatile.
