The Backgammon Table Set as Furniture
If you play backgammon extensively at home, you could use a backgammon table set as a beautiful piece of accent furniture as well.
The backgammon table set comes in various types. There is something for everyone, from the serious connoisseur to the bargain hunter, or from the elegant to the practical. Choose your backgammon table set based on your needs and your budget.
You may choose to have the backgammon table set made for you or opt to make it yourself. If you will not be having the checkers made to order, do make sure that you have the exact measurement of the checkers available for sale to ensure that your backgammon table set's points and compartments match the size of the checkers you will be purchasing.
When using the backgammon table set as a piece of furniture by itself, you also need to ensure that you have matching chairs appropriate to the height of the table and its style. It is much easier to buy the complete backgammon table set with game accessories and chairs.
There are tables that can be used not only for backgammon but also for other games such as roulette, craps, chess and checkers. These tables come with all the necessary game boards and accessories, as well as built-in storage. When the tabletop is flipped, the table can be used for poker or as a classy dining table. Priced at more than a thousand dollars, these 54-inch wide octagonal game tables come in mahogany or oak.
Smaller but no less elegant is the 20-inch square backgammon table set in antique finish wood with a silkscreened backgammon board as well as a solid brass chess and checkers board. It features built-in hidden storage for gamepieces but does not come with chairs at its price of about five hundred dollars.
For about two hundred fifty dollars you can get a backgammon table set on top of a set of five wooden drawers in a very simple and functional design. Each drawer allows you to play one of five other games, such as chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, naughts and crosses and solitaire.
Finally, for less than two hundred dollars, you can get a basic 28-inch square table with hardwood legs, reversible tabletops for backgammon and checkers and storage compartments.
Check your needs and your budget to limit your choices and zero in on the backgammon table set you want. This does not mean it will be an easy choice, though. There is just so much variety to choose from.
