Why choose a Meeplewood board game table?
At the heart of any memorable board game session is the table you’re playing on. A well-designed board game table enhances your experience by providing an organised, comfortable, and stylish gaming space. But why should you invest in a custom, handmade board game table rather than a generic mass-produced one? Here’s why a Meeplewood board game table stands out from the crowd:
1. Craftsmanship and Quality
As a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Meeplewoods board game tables are built with passion and care, ensuring that each piece is unique. Handmade in the UK using sustainably sourced, high-quality hardwoods such as oak, tulip wood and ash, these tables are not just functional furniture, but heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the smooth finishes to the sturdy construction.
Mass-produced board game tables are often constructed to lower costs, which result in an efficient build process where quality is just good enough. With Meeplewood, you’re investing in a product that is built to last and designed to withstand the rigors of regular gameplay.
2. Customisation Options
One of the major advantages of going with a handmade board game table is the ability to customise it to suit your needs and preferences. Meeplewood offers a variety of customization options, including size, wood type, finish, and special features such as integrated cup holders, token trays, LED lighting… your imagination is the limit!
Whether you need a compact board game table for your small gaming nook or a large centerpiece for epic game nights with friends, Meeplewood can create the perfect board game table for you. The ability to personalise your board game table ensures that it fits seamlessly into your space and matches your gaming style.
3. Functional Design
Meeplewoods board game tables are designed with the gamer in mind. We understand the importance of comfort and accessibility during long gaming sessions. Our tables feature recessed play areas that keep your game components in place, even during the most intense moments. In addition, our board game tables include modular leaf components, allowing you to switch between gaming and dining with ease.
This dual functionality is particularly useful for those who want a stylish dining table that can transform into a dedicated gaming space when needed. The attention to detail in the design ensures that your games are always easy to set up, play, and store.
The Charm of our Handcrafted Crokinole Boards
Crokinole is a beloved dexterity game that has been a staple of game nights for decades. Its simple yet challenging gameplay appeals to all ages, making it a perfect addition to any gaming collection. However, like with board game tables, not all crokinole boards are created equal. Meeplewoods handmade Crokinole boards stand out for their superior craftsmanship, aesthetics, and performance.
1. Superior Playability
Meeplewoods Crokinole boards are crafted to offer the best possible playing experience. Each board is finished and meticulously polished and waxed to create an ultra-smooth playing surface that allows for accurate flicking and fast-paced gameplay. The smoothness of the board is key to the games enjoyment, and we take great care in ensuring that our boards meet the highest standards of playability.
Additionally, the pegs, often made from wood, are made from stainless steel and are replaceable to allow for changing of rubber coatings to ensure play is perfect for life, they are placed with precision, ensuring that they provide the right amount of challenge without interfering with the flow of the game.
2. Beautiful Aesthetic
Crokinole boards are not just about function; they are also about form. Meeplewoods Crokinole boards are stunning pieces of art that can easily double as decorative wall pieces when not in use. Available in various finishes, from natural colour to unique beautiful statement pieces and even allow for personalisation, these boards are a perfect blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship.
3. Durability and Longevity
Like their board game tables, Meeplewoods Crokinole boards are built to last.
