For those with dedicated board game tables, which features turned out to be essential vs. overrated?
When you look at custom board game tables, a lot of the marketing focuses on flashy add-ons like recessed LED lighting, modular rail systems, built-in dice towers, and slide-out player desks.
In actual play, though, it feels like basic ergonomics make or break the experience far more than the accessories. A vault that is even an inch too deep can dig into your forearms during a long worker-placement game. A thick undercarriage can ruin leg clearance with standard chairs, and a table that is slightly too wide turns reaching the center board into a workout.
On the flip side, simple practical touches like recessed cup holders that actually keep drinks away from cardboard, comfortable armrest padding, and easy-to-remove leaf toppers seem to get praised constantly by people who host regularly.
For anyone who owns a dedicated gaming table or plays on one frequently, which specific design choices made the biggest practical difference at your game nights?

Basic ergonomics like table height, legroom, and a non-slip surface seem like they would matter most for long sessions. Have you found any specific dimensions or materials that made a big difference?
