Are these increments serious?
We need more choice in the 30 to 40 inch range my table at home is 90cm say 36" which I am comfortable with. believe that one of the tables in the home is 28" for wheelchair users. 60" is chin height on me. Can we do this again with more sensible increments. x42 |

Surely, first we ask whether the wargamer prefers to stand or sit at the table? Then we can look--in, as x42 says, small increments--within those ranges. |

How tall is a pool table? That's my answer. |

The choices bear little resemblance to the pre-poll discussion cited. Rick |

I prefer standing at a relatively high table … hadn't considered wheelchair users though (despite having played against a number at conventions and events) – so I may need to revise my thinking about my home table (as it could be a limiting factor, otherwise). Phil |

Very random heights listed here. I would think most tables are between 30" and 40" (If I redo the height of mine I will increase it from a current 32.5"). In regards to sitting or standing, if you provide stools, you have both options. |

Other: Mine is variable, with an electronic lift system. The lowest is around 30", while the highest is 56" (gives access to two shelves in the base, which are used for storage). I adjust it to whatever height we need, when we need it. Wife uses it for cutting fabric, as well, so that was a key reason for the adjustable height system option. Cheers! |
