I really enjoy assembling puzzles and playing board games with my family, but we needed a better spot to do it. This puzzle/gaming table is a perfect solution! It allows me to preserve the puzzle I'm working on inside and it has two drawers on either side to hold the unassembled pieces. Removable surface boards keep the puzzle protected from being bumped or having any pieces lost as well! When playing board games, the surface boards can be flipped over and inserted into the mortises on the sides of the table to become gaming trays. These trays offer additional space as well as a convenient way to keep cards, tiles, or game pieces organized! This typical-looking coffee table is a wonderful piece of functional furniture that is sure to provide many hours of enjoyment while improving the overall gaming experience!

I FELT that double crap outtake moment in my soul. Drew, genius build, as are all your projects. I also want to give you major props for being a one man show. You are the star, camera man, cinematographer, editor, etc. I know so much more time is given to these videos than just working on the project itself. Your channel and your work is WAY underappreciated. Thank you for all these great videos, your humor, your ingenuity, and overall entertainment! Happy holidays to you and yours!

Reminds me of a table my son made for his final school project, all the material was reclaimed from outdoor garden sets, an old dining table, some hard wood decking. He laminated the a top offset to 30 degrees, the CNC routered a square out of the centre, the made a backgammon and chess board glued face to face that would fit into the cut away. He designed and build a hidden lever that fit between two sliding draws to lift the centre section, therefore you could have the original laminate pattern, chess or backgammon or and additional piece that had glass designed to hold a photo. I love designs that make the most of the available space.

I've seen a lot of designs for tables like these, and I've gotta say I think this one is my favorite! I really love how the toppers are dual purpose to also be the trays! I feel like it would also be easy enough to customize those trays to fit other games (I love ttrpg's like D&D, so one with room for a character sheet/laptop and a little dice tray would be perfect)
