Tired of worrying about the setup and breakdown of your weekly game night and wondering how to get around needing the table the rest of the week? The trend is working in your favor.

Geek Chic provides high-end tables for gamers of all types, from kid-sized on up to dining room-sized. Each custom-built hardwood table transforms quickly and easily back and forth from function to function: classic hardwood heirloom-quality on the outside to deep-welled game-ready terrain-holder on the inside– deep enough to hold all your terrain, figures, and dice from week to week without having to breakdown and reset your dungeon process in between. The transformation from one style to the other is quick and easy, even easier than sticking the leaves in your own regular dining room table, and the relative lack of mass-produced product ensures that you're satisfied with the table you've designed for your own gaming wants and needs. The base of each game table is covered in whiteboard for quick scribbling of damage and altered stats, while the outer rims and borders of the table stash an array of drawers, cupholders, and more.

Speaking to the convention valet who introduced the product, he spoke of people who came by the booth and wondered why it was so expensive– some of the tables cost $2000 or more. But he was quick to follow it up with sound reasoning. "The kids who grew up playing D&D and other role-playing games are now high-powered executives and movies actors who want to have the quality items they always dreamed about when they were younger."

Geek Chic fills that niche nicely.

Given the expense of their product, though, it might give some folks a bit of pause before buying. GC offers a unique way to save: Gift Coins. The coins are individually minted solid metal coins, dual-sided, and stamped with individual serial numbers. The coins work same as cash in denominations of $25, $50, and $100 and are good towards the purchase of any of their products, from their portable gamer gear such as deck boxes and dice towers to personal bank boxes (for their coins, natch) all the way up to their larger furniture.
