A bit of an introduction to game tables...
I was looking on again off again for a dining/game table for some time. I came across some posts here and there, and a helpful list by Eviljelloman, and I wanted to make a very-organized, comprehensive and up to date list for others to reference. If you have a suggestion please message me with the details and I'll see about adding them. I'm no longer noting if a company will ship to the United States as there are many builders already here. I have since purchased a table through Uniquely Geek.
Round Table Toppers
The couple pieces of advice I would put out there are be careful with table manufacturers that offer one-piece or two-piece toppers, or a large insert that sits between the arm rests. Large, flat, thin pieces of wood can warp. There are at least two vendors on my list I've read about warping issues with the tops. I'd ask about a warranty or future service regarding this potential problem. Some manufacturers will address this on their site.
Keep in mind you may need help to remove and replace the topper every time you want to use the table to play a game in the vault. Some toppers can weigh 60 pounds or more. Think about how and where you're going to store that topper while you're gaming. My table uses leaves (small panels running across the short dimension of the table that are held up by a small ledge inside the arm rests). My table includes a storage cube with a foam insert to protect the leaves when you are using the table. I love it! Another thing to think about is what kind of gaming surface do you want? Some may offer only matching wood. My table has a water-tight dry-erase finish in the vault in case you spill something. Some manufacturers will supply removable mats, some glue a fabric in place, others have removable fabric covered panels. These panels can even have a different color and/or material on each side.
Also keep in mind shipping costs (white glove service versus shippers that may leave your table on the curb) and any help needed to carry this into your house. Usually manufacturers require you to inspect an item before accepting delivery in case there's damage. If a shipper just leaves something on the curb and it's damaged you might be out of luck with a claim. In my case I lived within the delivery range of Uniquely Geek so the builder, and his family, delivered and set up the table.
Don't limit yourself by not asking questions when contacting a manufacturer. Some manufacturers have templates they work off of and won't budge from them. Some may either create a table from scratch or slightly customize one of their existing tables. Just because you don't see what you want on a site doesn't mean it's not a possibility. Uniquely Geek is one of those companies that will build a table from scratch.
Things I won't include on this list: standard dining tables (sorry Ikea fans, but they don't make a true gaming table with a vault), standard fold up tables, game table tops that are meant to be placed on top of your existing table.
I'll change the date when I either add or remove a manufacturer (because they closed) from this list. Keep in mind this list is just to make you aware of the manufacturers out there. I won't be able to keep up with changes in offerings or pricing.
