Board Game Table FAQ

Don't see what you’re looking for?

What height are your tables?

With our tables' custom nature, the height is actually up to you! For standard dining height we recommend 31” for the Earl and Radcliffe lines but it can range from 30”- 32” and be comfortable with most seating options. The Earl line can also be made in a bar or counter height for a range of 36” to 42” in height. The Viscount line ranges from 16”- 22” and we will recommend a height based on your living room seating option and game needs. 

What is the depth of the game vault

The game vault is customizable to 1",2",3" or 4". If you add drawers to your Earl or Radcliffe 2" is required. If you desire the game vault rail track 3" minimum depth is required.

How do you measure the game vault depth?

The depth of the game vault is measured from the surface of the game vault floor, without any insert or play mat, to the underside of the table leaves. This means you could stand up a miniature that is 2” tall in a 2” deep game vault when the leaves are in place. When adding an insert you lose nearly 1in of game vault depth.

How do you measure the game vault width and Length?

The width and length of the game vault depends on the style of your table. For your Rustic and Farmhouse styles, the game vault is 10” less than the overall tabletop. For the Coastal, Transitional and contemporary styles the game vault is 12” less than the overall tabletop. If you need a certain size for the game vault talk with your table designer to see what customization options can be done to maximize your game space.

Why do you only use solid wood and what's the difference between a veneer table? 

We believe that heirloom quality furniture should be constructed from solid wood and not composite materials and veneers. A veneered table uses cheaper and less durable base materials and then a thin wooden surface is glued on to give the visual appearance. This method produces a near wood-like table at a lower cost but with reduced durability.  The only composite material used is for the Game Vault Floor due to climate stability issues.

What finish do you put on the table?

We spray a 2K Polyurethane which is the most durable furniture finish currently available. This product is used on wooden stairs, pinball machine playfields, and laboratory casework. Besides if we are building furniture to last for generations why shouldn't the finish? We never use Lacquer!

How do the rail attachments stay in the place?

All of our Rail Attachments have a series of rare earth magnets that securely keep the attachment in the rail and prevent accidental disengaging.

Can you make my items out of a wood not listed on your site?

As a fully custom manufacturer, we can work with any wood species you desire. Your personal designer will review all the options with you during the design process.

Can I purchase attachments and accessories at a later date?

Yes, you always have the option to purchase Rail Attachments and Accessories. Due to their nature, all Table Modifications cannot be retrofitted and must be purchased at the time of initial table construction. If you would like to place an order for any table accessories or attachments, contact us!

How do I get started?

The entire process starts by placing the fully refundable deposit for your chosen product. This deposit places you in a queue and gives you a general production date. One of our designers will contact you a few months before your production date to begin the design process for your table, and it's smooth sailing to game time from there. 

What is a personal designer and why do I need one? 

Think of your personal designer as your guide, they will help you walk through all the options when designing your table. They will be there to answer any questions and provide you with transparent pricing the whole time through our work order system. 

Do you take on other custom furniture requests?

Yes, we are a 100% custom woodworking shop with full capabilities to make just about anything you need or want. Contact Us for all custom inquiries that are currently not part of our catalog.

How do I care for my table after I receive it?

Uniquely Geek’s surface finishes will retain their natural beauty for years if proper care is taken and a stable environment is provided. Due to the inherent nature of wood products, we cannot guarantee any product stored or set in place in an environment where temperature and humidity are not controlled. Extremes in humidity and temperature can cause wood components to expand and contract and may lead to panel warpage and finish checking and cracking. Exposure to ultraviolet rays in direct sunlight will discolor the finish/fabric as well as cause damage to the wood substrate. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight. A stable and properly humidified environment is required to avoid these conditions. Recommended temperatures should be within a range of 50-80 degrees F (or 10-27 degrees C); the relative humidity should be maintained between 25% and 40%. These conditions are also recommended for human health standards.

Wood Surfaces
The standard topcoat is a satin sheen post-catalyzed polyurethane with superior hardness, mark, and scratch resistance. With industry-leading chemical resistance, it is the only product of its kind rated by the WFI to be suitable for Laboratory Casework. These features, combined with its UV-blocking properties, Are why Uniquely Geek has chosen it to protect our furniture. When cleaning, use a damp, lint-free cloth and gently clean in a circular motion. Using an abrasive cloth or applying too much pressure could alter the sheen of the finish. Keeping in mind some dust itself can act as an abrasive, improper rubbing can result in scratches. If heavy cleaning is needed, use a mild soap or detergent which does not contain wax or silicone, such as Murphy’s Oil Soap©. Never apply any cleaners directly to the finished surface, and spot-test new cleaners on an inconspicuous surface location for results before cleaning in its entirety. Try not to expose furniture to direct sunlight, ultraviolet light from the sun and artificial light sources may discolor the wood substrate over time, this is a normal characteristic of natural wood. Uniquely Geek’s finish is field repairable, and if damage should occur, professional furniture repair services are recommended. In this instance, please have the professional contact Uniquely Geek before starting the repair process.

Wet/Dry Erase Cleaning
We have found that daily wiping the entire board with Wet One's Wipes is a low-cost, simple, and low-chemical way of treating and cleaning your dry-erase surface. The lanolin in the wipes is actually treating/waxing the surface to help keep the dry-erase ink from adhering to the surface. Commercial dry-erase cleaners such as EXPO or MAR-KLEEN are fine to use after the board has become “shadowed or ghosted” from extensive use.

Wet/Dry Erase Markers
The EXPO Dry Erase Markers and EXPO Wet Erase Markers have been formulated specifically for use on all types of Wet/Dry Erase Surfaces. The solvents used are designed for ease of erasability without needing cleaning agents, except after extended use.

Fabric Play Surfaces
We suggest using a lint roller for routine cleaning of playing surfaces. If a spill should occur on the playing surface, use a mild soap and water solution and avoid saturating the surface. If a stronger solution is needed, we recommend using an upholstery cleaning machine and always referring to the operator's manual for proper use. Always remove the playing surface from the game vault before attempting to clean it.
