Quality, built to last

Another thought when buying any game table...Are you buying this to last? Or is this temporary until....? In our house I've been told that when the kids are grown and gone and when all the animals are gone, I can get new furniture and carpets. I don't like it but know the kids and animals will just tear them up.I also can remember growing up and getting a beautiful, new and expensive dinning room table. Right away my dad bought a table top protecter, that looked like wood, placed that over it and then always covered it with a table cloth. I always thought it was silly to spend that kind of money on something and then cover it up so no one can see its beauty. Now as an adult and a parent of 5 kids, I can understand fully why he did what he did. What I'm trying to say is buy what you can enjoy today. If you have a bunch of kids, you might not want to buy a fancy fancy table. This doesn't mean you have to buy a cheap table. There are quality built, durable tables that will fit your needs. Teak wood has many good qualities and hardness is one of them. I would recommend teak legs and side rails for durability or a contemporary style with chrome or other finishes.
