Finding the Right Game-tables for You

Bring drama and duels of dexterity into your home with vintage, new and antique game tables for every kind of game.

Who doesn’t love a little competition? Historians estimate that early versions of games such as backgammon were played by members of ancient civilizations at least as far back as 3,000 B.C. Chess, which likely originated in India as a game called chaturanga, is a timeworn test of skills and strategy as well, and the modern era’s iteration of the game was enjoyed by nobles at least as early as the 16th century.

While the upper classes in Europe were among the only chess players who could afford the game’s decoratively carved ivory pieces, the game eventually became accessible to the general public. In the late 19th century, the game’s first official chess championships took place, a realm that eventually produced celebrated players such as avowed Eames Executive chair enthusiast Bobby Fischer. Today, antique chessboards have seen an uptick in demand owing to a successful Netflix series in 2020 called The Queen’s Gambit, which chronicles the life of fictional chess prodigy Beth Harmon.

Modern versions of chess boards and other home game tables may have evolved to accommodate the variety of games for which they’re used but are still versatile pieces of furniture. Not every card table with chairs is the ideal dining table, but you certainly don’t have to limit a game table to recreational use.

Antique trictrac tables, for example, were products of 18th-century France, wherein furniture makers created what looked like multipurpose neoclassical writing desks and card tables that when their tops were removed revealed trictrac, chess and checkers surfaces. Other game tables, in a complete commitment to fun, merely support good old-fashioned competition. Contemporary Ping-Pong (or table tennis) tables, which have origins in 1880s Victorian England, can be quite sophisticated in form and are made from a variety of materials today. A billiards table is an iconic piece for any game room or living room, but your pool table is really going to be used for only one thing, right?

Antique or new Regency-style game tables, mid-century modern tables or Art Deco–style card tables, perhaps fashioned from rosewood or mahogany, might be equipped with convertible tabletops to shift from meals to game time in a snap. If you prefer poker or opt for a card table topped with a checkerboard, convenient drawers and other compartments can be found in new and vintage game tables that fit poker chips or other types of game pieces perfectly.

Find a range of top-quality vintage and antique game tables on 1stDibs that can help you introduce a bit of class to every competition at home.

Questions About Backgammon Table Chairs

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    How far a table should be from a chair is 10 to 12 inches. Keep in mind that the distance is from the tabletop to the seat of the chair. To determine what chairs to buy, subtract 10 or 12 inches from the height of your table and look for pieces of that seat height. If you're looking for a table to go with certain chairs, measure the height from the floor to the seat and then add 10 or 12 inches to find out what table height to buy. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of dining tables.

    Dining room chairs and dining tables do not necessarily have to match. 

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    The chairs at a dining table are generally just called dining chairs. Chairs without arms that go along the sides of a table are side chairs. Typically positioned at the ends of tables, dining chairs framed by arms are armchairs. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary dining chairs.

    Many chairs can work with a Tulip table. The Tulip armchair, for example, was part of Eero Saarinen’s Pedestal collection of armless chairs, stools, Tulip side tables and more. The series, produced for Knoll, was a mid-century modernist exercise in simplifying, and Tulip chairs, with their curvy contours, match Tulip side tables and Pedestal dining tables very well. However, you can also try other mid-century modern chairs to see what works best in your space. Shop a collection of mid-century modern dining chairs on 1stDibs.

    There is no one proper way to place chairs around a Noguchi coffee table. Your ideal placement will depend on the space you’re using and the chairs that you’ve chosen. In 1944, Noguchi created the first version of his classic glass-topped coffee table as a riff on a piece he designed for former MoMA president, A. Conger Goodyear, a few years earlier. Legendary Michigan manufacturer Herman Miller began to produce the design in 1948. On 1stDibs, find a number of Isamu Noguchi coffee tables from some of the world’s top sellers.

    The size of a round table that can fit eight chairs is around 60 inches. That measurement corresponds to the diameter, meaning the distance across the top of the table through its center. To ensure comfort, choose a dining table that is 10 to 12 inches taller than the seat height of your dining chairs. Shop a wide range of round dining tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    How many chairs fit around a 60-inch round table depends largely on the size of the chairs. Most tables that are 60 inches in diameter can accommodate around 10 chairs comfortably. Ensure that there is enough space between the chairs so that users can pull them in and out easily and have enough elbow room to dine unencumbered. Shop a wide range of round tables on 1stDibs.
