However, this is the least expensive surface and is fine for most players.

The surface has a roughness to it and often it is challenging to get the cards to slide all the way out to where you want them while dealing. This is the standard choice for the most poker tables, especially lower-priced versions. There are two common options for poker table coverings, or felt standard felt or speed cloth. With standard cloth, the cards will not move across the surface and someone dealing at the end of the table in a recreational game will have a hard time sliding the cards all the way to the other end on slower cloth. Even so, while covering types do not directly affect the space that a table will fit, you may want to consider using a faster cloth in more enclosed spaces. All types of table coverings can be affixed to any table dimension.
