[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7533936, member: 6796661"] I bought a conference table and six conference room chairs from a company that was selling off a bunch of old furniture and equipment on Craigslist, which I've set up in my basement near a wood stove and kitchenette (full fridge, mini stove, sink and decent amount of counter space and cabinets. Nice for pot-luck game days. Also have a number of folding tables. When not running my D&D game, the conference table is a general activity/game/craft/homework table. On game day, I set up two smaller tables at the end of the conference table, making a kind of L shape that I sit behind. On the side, I set up a large plasma TV for displaying maps, etc. And I have plenty of room for my lap top and books on the other table. I sometimes extend the conference room table with an additional folding table and some comfortable folding chairs when we have a larger group. I've thought of getting fancy "game" tables, but none have seemed as convenient as a number of high quality folding tables in different sized. If I had a larger area, I would replace my heavy conference table with four high-quality, solid 8' commercial folding tables. I could just have two set up most of the time and easily set up two more when I need. Or I could have multiple separate games going on at the same time. Basically, I want my basement to be a mini version of a LFGS. I am looking at building or having built for me a portable digital map case for tabletop games.
