Card tables are a very versatile piece of home entertainment furniture and many people buy them to play cards and more in the comfort of their own home. Many are realizing how much money and time they are saving by not going out as much and spending quality time with close friends and family back home. Card tables and chairs are primarily used to host card games; it’s like bringing the casino to your home minus the travel time, etc.
There is a one-time investment in purchasing your gaming table set, but that investment will provide you with many years of fun and entertainment. In order for your table to last for years, you definitely need to maintain it, clean it, and maybe even repair it if necessary. Maintaining your table is not that difficult as long as you follow these simple steps:
- Storage – When storing your tables, make sure the storage area is dry to prevent mold from forming on the table. It is also best to have a storage area that has less foot traffic than normal to prevent someone from stepping on or tipping over the table.
- Food and drinks – If you are going to host a card game night at your house and invite some friends over, you should make sure you eat first before you start playing. Wash your hands before starting the game to remove food grease from your tiles, cards, etc.
- tighten those screws – Over time, the legs of the chairs and the tabletop of the game table may become a little loose. Get a flat head or Philips screwdriver and tighten all the screws to prevent any wobbly motion.
- brush your felt – Most card table surfaces are covered in that traditional tabletop felt you’re familiar with. The best way to clean the felt surface is with a light brush that many pool table owners use to clean their tables.
Take good care of your furniture and it will give you many years of thrills and excitement with close friends and family. Remember to do a little maintenance routine if you want your game table to last. There are other purposes you can use a table for besides playing cards, so don’t think you need to use them for just one reason. There are many events that require an extra table and chairs, such as birthday parties, dinner parties, lemonade stands for your kids, etc.
