Product Preview - GeekNSon Denis Table

[@mrreee4685]

Their are a fair few companies now manufacturing gaming tables. GeekChichq & Boardgametables in the US, GeeknSon in the UK and Rathskellers in Greece are the ones I am aware of. Its great to have choice but I feel its a shame that their are no reviews comparing the similar tables they offer to each other.

[@josephcomings]

The waterproofing is a great feature for when all your friends drool over how cool your table is.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! I hadn't thought of it that way :)

[@Fnoffen]

Would LOVE one of those bad boys but alas, I have neither space nor spare cash for it at this point in time. Some day though...

[@MarkDeibert]

I own a GeekNSon fully loaded Denis gaming table! This is seriously high quality furniture. GeekNSon are fantastic people to work with. They will do anything/everything they can to make your purchase go smoothly and that you are 100% happy with your new gaming table. I cannot recommend them enough.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad to hear you had such a positive experience too Mark.

[@Geeknson]

Glad to see that you are enjoying your Denis! They really are something to have as a centrepiece, whether it's a gaming room or a dining room.

[@efrainrodriguez4578]

Waterproofing is a huge plus!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Quite a unique feature!

[@theMCGuiREreview]

This is unbelievable, so awesome...

[@PhlioNihm]

You can definitely see the quality and care that went into making it, and thoughtfulness in it's design. This video has likely gotten them a future customer, thank you very much for sharing this with us!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I know something like this is an important purchase decision and I did hope the video could help - glad you found it useful!

[@danielhopkins5514]

Their site appears to be down...probably your fault :)

[@Geeknson]

I don't want to blame Rodney....but I blame Rodney

[@starlinguk]

If in doubt, blame Rodney.

For those out there wanting a cheap start to a large gaming table you can check out your local Habitat for Humanity store. I found a 5' x 6.5' solid wood table for $80. It came with two leaves that can be taken away as needed to shorten it to 5' x 3' for smaller games. I'll be sanding and restraining it at some point but currently it's in great condition and we've already had many game nights on it. Some with as many as 9 people around it (!!) with room to spare. The nice thing is that I paid so little for it and I can customize it all I want. But as a starting point it can't be beat!

[@XZodiakXx]

This is so cool O.O I want one on my own right now xD

[@DidoDGaming]

I would love one day to be able to afford such perfect table :(

[@Hunszi]

Just forget it, it's way overpriced. Basically my 6 years old VW Golf 7 cost less than this table, and this is just a table.

[@WuschelofDespair]

@@Hunszi I never really get the car comparison, some people don't even need a car. It comes down to what's important to you. If somebody doesn't need a car because all his places are nearby but just loves to play boardgames everyday, why does it matter, that a used car is cheaper than this table? Same goes for computers "oh you could buy a car instead of that Mac", well some people use that Macs to create stuff and make a lot of money with it, why should they buy the car instead?

[@Hunszi]

@@WuschelofDespair Okay, I give you another example...where I live, for the price of this table, I bought a 150x90cm rubberwood dining table, 6 chairs, 2 big kallaxes for my games, 2 wardrobes, 1 TV stand, a sofa, and a carpet...and we even had some leftover money to go out for dinner, after we managed to furnish the whole room. You get what I'm saying? :) It not about a car or something, it's about the price of this piece of table...overpriced.

[@ryanb6074]

Was wondering when we'd get the tour of it ;) I heard about this table from you and saw a small overview on it done by Rahdo, and this will definitely be the table I get, including chairs, as it will make a great dining table as well. It will sadly be long, time before I can afford one though...but great preview!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you liked it!

[@rantalli0n]

The want is strong... But £1500+ would buy me alot of games as well, I'm conflicted!

[@krusomore]

thats a very nice gaming table, and i can see it really has a good quality, too bad it does not ship to Malaysia greetings from Malaysia XDD

[@mmmmmq]

Jessica Eng even if they do... shipping is gonna be insane - from neighboring Singapore 😋

[@WatchItPlayed]

Greetings from Canada :)

[@Geeknson]

We do indeed ship to Malaysia, but the shipping is a little bit pricey. if you do want us to take a look and see what we can do, drop us an e-mail through the website!

[@krusomore]

BenMQ exactly, malaysia currency is.... way too low

[@krusomore]

Watch It Played i wonder who reply me, rodney or pep ? XDD (sorry if name spelling is wrong)

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Cool. I'm​ saving up so I can afford a table like that. But I want the gaming area 4 x 6 so I can play Warhammer in there too.

[@Geeknson]

Hi Cesar! These tables are completely bespoke so we can make one to your size if needed. Let us know what dimensions you need and we can do it :)

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Awesome!!!

[@madcoder8]

I want one of these so badly!

[@andreagreyskull4427]

Men you should use Metric not Imperial... feet and inches oh my God....

[@WatchItPlayed]

I considered doing both. I'm Canadian. I use metric primarily, but a large portion of our audience is American. I figured it probably wasn't the most important aspect of the video one way or the other.

[@andreagreyskull4427]

Watch It Played no it is not. But it would be nice to have it anyway. Btw, your verso deps are the reference in the bg world... man... great powers come with great responsibilities...

[@andreagreyskull4427]

*your videos are

[@kirk4960]

Rodney, once again, your ethics are second to none. Thank you! btw, are the XXL shirts ready yet? :-)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sadly, the shirt company has informed me they've had to close their doors, so they won't be making more shirts. I'll have to explore new options.

[@jaymorningstar244]

You are such a master of your craft - both genuine an informative. Thank you for what you do because I am going to be buying one of these soon.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you really like it!

[@tactical_cardboard]

Cabalist! Represent! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thought that easter egg might be enjoyed :)

[@haydenvanrys2599]

I wouldn't put it past either you or Jamie to get together to take part in the augmented reality game that they were talking about. Keeping my eyes peeled >.>

[@crocosnzChrome]

I covet. Oh so very much. However lack of funds mean it's a dream... for now anyway. Plus shipping to New Zealand for anything like this is crazy.

[@ripwolfe]

Said it before, will say it again, dig your upfront honesty. Really, the way I look at it, why would you review anything you didn't really like? Even if a sponsor paid/donated to you?

[@BoardGameSpotlight]

Great video Rodney! I am in the market for a new table and this helped a lot!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Happy to assist James!

[@logcabingaming3710]

Loved this video and table bud, well done. Just crammed with clever features. I was expecting all the usual ones but there were some nice surprises in there such as the clear under layer. Great work 👊

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, thanks for the kind words and for checking it out!

[@Coffeemaker1978]

Sooo awesome! How if you spill at bit of soda to the fabric?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'd need to treat it like a typical spill on fabric in that case.

[@brandonjohnson9876]

I think you broke their website lol

[@WatchItPlayed]

I did notice it was a little slow loading today :)

[@annereynolds7930]

You showed a tile game under the acrylic layer. How thick can pieces under the acrylic layer reasonably be? For example, would the older Catan tiles (about 2x as thick as the current print) work or would the acrylic layer be lifted too far from the base, making it difficult to place cities/roads on the edges?

[@WatchItPlayed]

My sense of it is that those would work fine, because of how big the acrylic piece is. It would still stay weighed down enough for that.

[@MoesWargames]

Another great review Rodney! Thanks for giving a very thorough look at this table, and it's a beauty. A nice gaming table is a grail item for me. I love how there is plexi right in the table, no need to worry about storing sheets if there is one giant one inside the table! .

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Maurice - a good item for a grail list. See you at an upcoming con?

[@MoesWargames]

No others in the works right now but BGG CON for sure, and boy do I need it! See you there my friend.

[@matts3155]

We have one of these, it's great. BUT, our UPS delivery just dumped it in the driveway and good luck. I just put that to warn people if you get one, it is heavy heavy and definitely plan to have a second person to move it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, a third wouldn't hurt either!

[@Flababoo]

awesome table... btw, the Cabalist pint glass, nice touch ;) keep up with these awesome videos, Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hoped some people would enjoy that :)

[@jimsmith7445]

Rodney... What a great table! I think most gamers would fantasize about having such a great gaming item. What doesn't it have??? Thanks

[@WatchItPlayed]

Happy to share :)

[@hereticdave]

I liked the subtle hint for the up coming Forbidden Stars video! Well played!! :P

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! More of a nod to the lack of one :)

[@CobaltPraetorian]

Welp, that was a helluva review! Now to find the money... somewhere. lol Thanks man!

[@WatchItPlayed]

My pleasure!

[@kens771]

Amazing table! Great info Rodney, as always.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you Ken :)

[@MarkYale]

Rodney plays Infinity!? Noyce!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Rodney has a lot of infinity, but still hasn't played it :( So many games, so little time!

[@Nortic111]

Want. I forget if you said or not, but would this be available in Britain? Can it be shipped?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I believe so, but please do check their website, or contact them directly for shipping options.

[@mrreee4685]

The company is based in th UK I believe.

[@Nortic111]

Thankyou, I shall take a look!

[@Nortic111]

I just took a look and you're quite right!

[@mrreee4685]

You're very welcome, hope you get one, can't get my own until we can move to a bigger place, so very envious of anyone who has one.

[@masongray1701]

hi love your channel have a nice day

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks :)

[@jeffhaubrich6121]

Libertalia!

[@pep7890]

I want one, please do a give away, lol

[@rappscallion3238]

What is the height of the table?

[@WatchItPlayed]

30.5 inches.

[@rappscallion3238]

Thank you.

[@rappscallion3238]

Another question. Is it the Ash Wood or Oak Wood?

[@Nelcomarproductions]

First

[@grudzielanek]

Forgive this question if it's already been asked, but do you think the playing area is large enough for the larger board games that have been rolling out lately? Like, Cry Havoc and Scythe take up so much space on a table. Will those boards fit comfortably in the recessed area?

[@WatchItPlayed]

+grudzielanek Yep, we've set up large games like that on this table.
