May I introduce you to this DIY convertible gaming table for
up to 10 players? It can convert easily to a perfect 4 player table
and a dining table!
Let these images say everything:

Transformation A:
Wooden framed gaming table with a soft fabric surface for up to 10 players. |
 |
Transformation B:
Square setup with 1.2 m space on each side for up to 4 players. |

How to convert
The table surface is composed of three table-top-plates which can easily be removed: Lift one edge to unhook the stabilization screws and slide the plate away:
Once one of the plates are removed the table it's self can be folded down:
The table can be used as a normal dining table, or folded together so compact that it can be used as a side board:

Cup holders
Who likes to spill his lekker drink across the table over one of his favorite games? No one. Sufficient cup holders are a must have.
Cup holders are simply made of ravioli cans. Just be sure to sand-paper sharp edges away and duck-tape top half of the can to prevent it from sliding through the hole.
When cutting out the hole in the wood, don't worry about making a perfect circle. The cans are forgiving and snuggle into every oval shape...

Which Ikea Table is this?
I got the "NORDEN Klapptisch" (available in Germany):
Additionally you will need some boards from your local hardware store to create the frame. And furthermore a big and nice cloth to cover the surface.
I used a grey fleece blanket. Be sure to get two rolls of double sided tape to stick the blanket to the surface.
The convertible gaming table has added a serious amount of value to our game nights :)
Do you use a dedicated table for gaming? What are our must-have features?
