Bespoke Hardwood Gaming Tables Crafted by Kaiyoot Designs

At Kaiyoot Designs, we create extraordinary, one-of-a-kind hardwood board game tables tailored precisely to your vision, space, and gaming lifestyle. Founded by an engineer in Calgary, Alberta, whose passion for board games inspired the ultimate play surface, each table is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail using premium hardwoods sourced for quality and performance.

Every Kaiyoot table is fully bespoke—there is no rigid “standard” model. We collaborate closely with you to design the perfect piece, starting from a thoughtful foundation inspired by the Dream Table concept and evolving into something uniquely yours.

Manufacturer

Kaiyoot Designs has teamed up with Uniquely Geek to manufacture our tables. This partnership allows more Kaiyoot Designs tables to be built with expanded options, leveraging Uniquely Geek’s manufacturing capabilities and extensive wood offerings. Both Kaiyoot Designs and Uniquely Geek will work closely with you to customize your dream table.

Key Customizable Elements Include:

Wood & Stain Selection

Choose from a curated selection of premium solid hardwoods, each hand-selected for beauty, durability, and character. We offer rich, custom stains with mythical-inspired names. Popular combinations include:

• Ash — Natural or Orichalcum
• Cherry — Natural or Electrum
• Walnut — Natural (including High Character Walnut for unique grain patterns)
• Sapele (rich mahogany-like tone) — Natural or Gold
• Red Oak — Natural or Iron
• Knotty Alder — Natural or Copper
• Hickory — Natural
• Quarter Sawn White Oak — Natural

Additional woods and fully custom stains are available upon request. All tables receive a high-quality protective finish (such as durable 2K polyurethane) for long-lasting beauty and resistance to everyday use.

Dimensions and Proportions

Select your ideal length, width, height, or even distinctive shapes to perfectly harmonize with your room and group size.

Vault and Play Surface

• Standard vault depth is approximately 5 cm (just under 2 inches), based on a typical 12.7 cm (5-inch) thick table top. This provides an immersive sunken play area while maintaining comfortable table height and legroom.
• Deeper vaults are possible but require a thicker table top, which can raise overall height and reduce legroom underneath.
• Shallow or flush dining configurations available for versatile everyday use.
• Modular options: Removable vault planks, sheets, or caps for easy transitions between gaming and flat dining surface.
• Play surface options:
  • Nylon-jacketed 3mm Neoprene — Plush, tactile, dust-resistant padding with rubber backing that stays in place. Excellent for easy card pickup, dice rolling, and component movement. Removable for cleaning.
  • Clear Acrylic sheet — Smooth, protective, and modern. Ideal for showcasing artwork, maps, or a clean look while allowing easy viewing and cleanup.
• Strong reinforced floor to support leaning without sagging.

Player Station Options

Each table has 6 player locations that can be fitted with a station. These stations bolt securely into the table using connector bolts and allow you to customize the table setup.

The available station modules are:

• Cubby Station — Features a wide or thin leaning ledge. The space below the ledge is ideal for holding cell phones or small game components (such as money in auction games). These modules have an exposed side profile and are the default station.

• Storage Station — Includes a wide leaning ledge that flips open to reveal hidden storage, perfect for table accessories and game components. The side profile gives the table a robust, solid furniture look.

• Foldout Player Station — Combines features of both cubby and storage stations. It folds out to expand the personal play area. When closed, the top can flip open for storage. With the side flap folded down, it functions as a cubby station. With the flap closed, the table has a clean, solid furniture look. These deluxe stations use high-quality brass hinges for smooth, durable operation.

Modular Drink Holders

Add discreet, pop-out hidden holders positioned safely beneath wide leaning ledges (outside the vault) to protect your game from spills. These modular units use push-pop springs, ball bearing slides, and other hardware for smooth, reliable operation. They can be placed on corners or along edges between station modules. Unused modules can be stored inside the vault base when not in use.

Base and Storage

Engineer a stable, legroom-maximizing trestle base with integrated storage for unused vault components, neoprene sheets, drink holder modules, and more. Choose elegant doors for a refined furniture-grade appearance, keep it open, or opt for a simple 4-leg design without storage.

Additional Features

• Wide leaning ledges (e.g., 5.5 inches / 14 cm) for excellent arm support and under-ledge storage
• Exceptional stability through thoughtful engineering
• Innovative solutions such as custom edge profiles or entirely new features developed with you

Pricing begins at $15,000 USD (plus shipping), with final costs reflecting your chosen woods, dimensions, features, and customizations—an investment in countless memorable game nights.
