My kitchen table just isn’t good enough anymore. I wish I had something more refined and elegant to play on.

Do you like D&D? Do you like playing board games? Then at some point you’ve probably thought to yourself,

That is the reason you’re here. You want to build your own gaming table, and you’re trying to find all the other people out there as crazy as you are. Welcome.

About a month ago, I started my own quest to build my own DIY gaming table. I first created a new Board on Pinterest to collect images of people who had made their own tables. I then stumbled upon a great thread on Board Game Geek that shared a full list of all the geeky gamers out there that finished building their own tables as well. Between these two resources I started weeks of research to determine what features I wanted in my table.

This article is not intended to be a definitive list of all DIY gaming tables out there. I hope that this list will serve as a curated list of tables that have good explanations, photos, parts lists, and plans to give you inspiration.
