This is The Phalanx by Rathskellers, the most luxurious board game table I've legit ever seen. It's a modern table with steel frames and beautiful wood. It's insanely functional, sleek, and flat-out amazing.
www.rathskellers.com/the-phal...
Here's my build for the table!
8 Players
Rustic Oak (No stain), with corrective marker
Metal Structure Color: Matte Dark Grey
Double Sided Velveteen, Teal/Black
8 Player Stations
Dice Tower Upgrade
Rathskellers Cleaning Brush
Widthwise Leaves
LED Lighting System
Rathskellers Gaming Lab Upgrade
Bluetooth Sound System
4 USB Charging Docks (8 USB Ports)
2 Wireless Charging Stations
Wheels I added on: amzn.to/3CHaih8
I was not asked to make this review video, but I was provided this table for Fire & Ice and then for my channel afterwards
*Regardless, it's flat-out amazing (you can't deny the quality), and I wanted to give a special thank you to Rathskellers for all the work that went into this very special table.

Wow, this table is absolutely amazing. I have been lusting after a game table for a while. This is the pinnacle.

I checked the website and the table is VERY pricey. With all the upgrades mentioned in the video, it's over €10k.

A multi-purpose table with modern features and high quality materials will be expensive. Investment, yeah. But last table you’ll need to buy and will last generations to come with basic care and maintenance.

Some normal "designer" furniture that does nothing but sit there is worth more.

I don't doubt the quality of Rathskellers. But I also couldn't afford the price. A good compromise (without led and sound system, the latter surely being a big part of the price) was the Zeus model from Mesas para Juego. Super customer service, very helpful and not pushing through the ordering process. And I'm very satisfied with the quality. Accesories like dice trays, cupholders, etc, plug in to the sides of the table.

Hi Tim. As always, thank you for the great content. Question. I have a gaming table but I’m debating a new one and obviously looked to Rathskellers. My issue with tables a lot of the time is the height. It just feels awkward to sit at and I feel I struggle to see the whole of the table because it’s so high up. I’m 5’8. Any thoughts? I know it’s a random question 😅

@TimChuon Жыл бұрын

So glad you’re enjoying the content! Hmm let me see if I can help! So I’m 5’10 and I feel like the table’s at the perfect height for me, but my fiancé is 5’1 and she does have to reach a lot if it’s a bigger game (scythe, endless winter, etc). -For me, my knees have lots of space and don’t hit the table (I have 5.5 inches of empty space from knee to table -Random measurement, but my elbows rest 10 inches above my knees, this is where I bend them to rest on the table -Sinking down at my chair about 4 inches, I can still read lots of components at a lower the angle (reminder that this is for an 8p table so if you decide to go with the same size or smaller, keep that in mind!) -Standing up, the table is a little below my waist! I hope that helps somewhat! 🙌🏽

@joshomgosh4321 7 ай бұрын

Hey Tim. I will also get the Phalanx without any stain like you. Thanks for your video, that helped a lot in the deciding process! Maybe one question about the velveteen colors after using them for over a year: You said you would have also liked a lighter color. So if you could decide again, would you prefer to exchange one of your colors with a light grey? Do you get bored of the greenish or the black color more? I can also imagine that the different LED colors work better with neutral velveteen colors. Thanks for your opinion :)

Is it water resistant in between the table tops? Can water get in if you spill a glass of water for example?

Yes, it is water-resistant. Our design ensures that 95% of water won't seep in between the table tops, even if you accidentally spill a glass of water.
