Correct length for poker table legs?

[nolanfan34]

I seem to recall a couple of people mentioning that they cut the bottom off of the standard folding table legs to make it more of an "official" poker table height.

Is there a standard per se for this? I will agree that the two tables I built before feel a little higher than normal. How much should I cut off, like an inch or two of the leg?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Most people cut 2 inches off the standard folding legs. I don't think there is an official height. It's whatever feels comfortable and depends on the chairs.

When I make my tables...I make the tops sit between 28 and 30 inches. That's just the way I think it comfortable... Considering I'm dealing from them most of the time, that's the height I like them at.

You can always cut more. I cut 2in off my legs and now wish I had only cut 1in off. I may go so far as to jam wood dowels into the steel legs and cutting those off.

That's a good idea, I'll go with that.

It really depends on your chairs. If the chairs you have are too short for your table you will need to hack some off. I did 2" at first, but I think I need to go back and take some more off. It still seems a little high with the chairs I have.

BTW, you from TX?
