A 34-inch square folding card table gives four players a side each and can double as a surface for board games, schoolwork, or crafts. If you need more seats, measure for the chairs as well as the tabletop before choosing a larger round or rectangular model.
Card table sizes by shape
These are approximate dimensions from common layouts. Check the product specifications for height, seating, and weight capacity.
| Shape | Tabletop size (in.) | Tabletop size (cm) | Approximate seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square | 34 × 34 to 38 × 38 | 86 × 86 to 97 × 97 | 4 |
| Round | 42 to 54 diameter | 107 to 137 diameter | 4 to 8 |
| Rectangular | 24 × 36 to 48 × 92 | 61 × 91 to 122 × 234 | 2 to 10 |
Square folding tables are often about 27 to 30 inches tall. For example, the Lifetime 34-inch folding table stands 29 inches high when open. For round tables, 42 inches can work for four players, and some 44- to 48-inch models seat six. A 54-inch model can fit up to eight with chairs that fit the layout.
Poker table sizes
A compact home poker table can be round, oval, or octagonal. A 48-inch round model is an example for four or five players. Larger oval tables can measure 92 to 104 inches long and around 44 inches wide, with room for up to ten players depending on the layout. Racetrack-style tables often run 96 to 108 inches long and about 48 inches wide. Check the dimensions with any rail or cup holders included.
Measure where the table will go, including space to pull chairs out and walk behind them. If it folds, check the folded dimensions against the closet or storage spot. Find more measurements in the home dimensions guides.
