Which Gaming Table Suits You?
As board and tabletop gamers, we like to ensure we're getting the most out of our gaming experiences. Sometimes, the best way to do this is to maintain a dedicated gaming space within our homes that we furnish with specialty furniture to both store and play our games. If you're in the process of kitting out a dedicated gaming space, then you're in the right place.
You can check out our article on the best modular shelving here, but if it's a gaming table you're in the market for then read on. The neat thing about these wooden tables is that they can transform from an inconspicuous dining table into a ready-to-use gaming table in no time at all.

1. Sustainability Comparison
It's always worth considering the environmental impact of just about anything you buy, especially if it's something that you plan to use a lot or that you want to get a lot of use out of. Wood is one of the most sustainable materials used in just about any field of production.
Wyrmwood Table
Available in four separate styles of wood: Rustic Cherry, Cherry, Rustic Walnut, and Black Walnut. Many of its additional modular elements require magnets for connection.
Kingswood Table
Made of 100% Rubberwood, which is quick to grow and easily replaceable. The design avoids unnecessary holes or slots, ensuring minimal waste.
Denis Table
Comprised of 100% locally sourced Ash wood in Great Britain, offering water-resistance. Utilises design elements for modular accessories.
2. Versatility Comparison
We all have our individual quirks when it comes to our gaming preferences. A good gaming table makes it easy to accommodate different play styles with minimal hassle.
Wyrmwood Features
Uses magnets for various official attachments (cup holders, dice trays, card trays). Includes spill-resistant coating on toppers to protect the wood surface.
Kingswood Features
Attachments slot into the wood lining for secure holding (no magnets needed). Includes dice trays, cup holders, card trays, and choice of interior materials for customization.
Denis Features
Offers desk with bookshelf attachments and tablet holders for multi-scene use. Wider array of available attachments compared to other two options.
3. Affordability Comparison
Let's face it, price is often the deciding factor. Here's how these premium gaming tables compare in terms of value—including base tables and essential accessories.
Wyrmwood Pricing
$2,699 - $4,399 (table only) plus shipping fees. Additional features like dice trays and cup holders cost extra, increasing overall investment.
Kingswood Pricing
NobleBundle (table + all essentials) for $1,416; Table alone $1,149. No extra cost for key accessories, offering higher value.
Denis Pricing
£1,943.95 – £4,989.50 (≈ $2,400 - $6,200) plus shipping. Premium add-ons like inset TV or LED lights significantly increase the total cost.
The Verdict
