They might work if my group has only a couple players, as each player could then use the pullout beside them. But even then, I can easily see someone shifting their chair or getting up for soda and bumping the pullout, knocking everything around. Oh, and these significantly increase the size of the room I need for one of these tables. With all the pullouts in use, won't this take up a minimum of 5' by 7', not counting chairs?Not sure where I saw it, but the idea that I like best is similar to yours, but not an entire table. It's just a "topper" consisting of the grid on short legs, roughly 4"-6", that can be set on to a table. The legs allow material to be stored under the grid, which doesn't push players further from the table. If you want to design entire tables, you could eliminate the pullouts and elevate the grid. And I second Stormonu's idea about removable/replaceable grids. In fact, the ability to flip the grid, with squares on one side and hexes on the other, would be very useful and allow easier cleaning.Lastly, if you plan to sell these, they will have to look good. I realize the images are of a mock-up, so I'm unsure if this is what you intend for the final product. I would suggest it will need to have polished wood, fittings that are hidden or stylish, and so on. That will increase the cost, but otherwise I might as well build something like this myself.</blockquote>
