Hello all, the
FLGS needs some new tables and wants to upgrade to metal ones. I see this as an opportunity because I am tooled up to make these.
I was working on designs/cost estimates and was curious about how many people may be interested and if so what they felt was a marketable price point? I don't want to do a bunch of fancy sketches/renderings or anything like that if my price point can't be met.
Currently the design weighs about 118 pounds + the bolts to assemble it + packaging material. This does not include
MDF/hardboard inserts for under your game surface. (supports are at 2'-0" intervals on 6'-0" span) but not on the 4'-0" span. (so you will have to have a board down to lay realm of board tiles in... but I could add in more supports at 2'-0" intervals on the 4'-0" span to catch the
RoB or secret weapon board tiles?)
The table will have a 1" lip to catch board/tiles, the shelf on the bottom will be adjustable to 6 different locations. (it will need a hardboard infill as well). It's nothing too fancy, just a clean metal frame that breaks down made out of tubestock/angle.
The table should be able to be assembled by a single person (though much easier with 2) with a socket wrench.
It stands 36" to the table top. It will have an opening adequate for a 6' x 4' gaming board with a 1/8" tolerance around the perimeter.
It could be easily setup in small apartments in a few minutes and broken down and put away when not in use. (though I would recommend using 3 - 24" x 48" pieces of hardboard for inserts if done this way for ease of storage. who has room for a 4' x 6' sheet?
)
So dakka, how much interest in a project like this would you envision I would receive? At what price point would you say "hey I want one of those!" ?
Thank you very much!
