Summary: Carolina Game Tables will stop accepting Personalized orders of game tables on May 1, 2025 and reduce attendance at game conventions due to family health issues. This allows staff to focus on the furniture quality and customer care our company is known for. We’re excited to announce the launch of our customer loyalty program and a new website. Thanks for your support for over TEN wonderful years! Don’t forget, our Tax Free Tables sale ends May 1, 2025, where we pay any applicable sales tax on new orders.
Hi friends, Jodi Black here, President of Carolina Game Tables and mom of the Black family who owns and operates the company. There’s a lot to share, and I appreciate everyone who reads it all. If you’re short on time, I’ve included a summary above. Life can be short; spend it playing games with the people you care about.
Why is the Personalized Line Going Away May 1st?
We’re temporarily halting orders for some of our Personalized game tables beginning May 1st, 2025–at the end of the Tax Free Tables sale. This allows our family to take some much-needed time off while reducing the overall workload for our team. While we hope to bring these designs back in the future, we can’t guarantee it.
Table orders already in progress will continue to be built. If the order page is not visible (see New Website below), email [email protected] to place your order.
The following table designs will be affected: Breakfast, 5×5, Kitchen, and Coffee Game Table. Our Signature Line tables—Tablezilla, Banquet, and Dining Game Tables—will still be available, though without the full range of finish, height, and cup holder options offered in the Personalized line. The Streamer Game Table, key to promoting and supporting the tabletop game industry, will remain available.
By making these changes, we can keep our tradition strong of quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service.
Google Us!
Carolina Game Tables is one of the oldest and most respected game table manufacturers in the United States, largely due to our superior economic table construction and compassionate customer service. Read our Google reviews, what people say about us on Reddit, BoardGameGeek, YouTube, etc… Please (pretty please) research not only our company, but read about our sustainable furniture industry practices. A well-built, functional and beautiful, piece of furniture can last for generations and stops the cycle of expensive “disposable” home decor. Let us know if you have any questions by emailing infocarolinagametables.com
What is Available After May 1st, 2025, and Why?
In short: the Signature line, Elite line, and Streamer Game Table.
Signature game tables are our most popular table designs and are stocked for quick shipment. They require minimal specialized labor making them the most efficient to produce while still meeting the needs of most customers.
The Elite line, launched in 2024, was designed for gamers with the most refined tastes. This collection includes: the Deluxe Dragon Chair, Dragonhide ottoman, and matching throw pillows. It also includes our storage benches and mahogany dining room chairs (with seat cushions!). Since these pieces are highly specialized they result in fewer orders for our staff to manage.
As mentioned above, the Streamer will remain available for purchase due to its unique supportive role in live streaming tabletop gaming.
New Website
During the next few weeks Carolina Game Tables will roll out a new website making ordering easier and integrate with more platforms. Some pages may not be available at launch, so if you don’t see the product you’re looking for, email us at [email protected] and we’ll personally help you place your order. (Edit: you are on the new website now. What do you think?)
Announcing Customer Loyalty Program
Our best customers buy from us time and again–it’s not unusual to see an order for three tables shipping to one family! Game room, dining room, living room, children’s play room, breakfast nook… if you’re the kind of gamer who likes to host fun events then you LOVE a Carolina Game Table in every room!
Starting today, after placing an order, please tell us which of our former customers gets the credit for your sale. We’ll give that customer credit toward a future purchase. If it’s yourself… we’ll give you a discount prior to purchase! Get the conversation started by emailing info@carolinagametables.com
Lately our customers have returned for storage benches, mahogany chairs with seat cushions to match the play area of the table, and even the Deluxe Dragon Chair itself.
Discounts/credit are applied prior to checkout. Payment plans are available as low as $200/month or 0% financing through PayPal Pay Later / Venmo, Affirm, and Klarna.
What is the Family Convention Schedule?
Currently we plan to attend Gen Con in Indianapolis, PAX West in Seattle, Mythic in Charlotte, and PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia. This may change as the year progresses. Please keep an eye on our socials.
What Health Concerns?
Because I know folks will ask, I’m the one with health issues, and my recovery time is measured in months (but not years, and not anything life threatening). It does mean that our non-family staff will need to shift to cover more of our family duties, though, which is why we’re making this announcement. THANK YOU for supporting our family business for over a decade.
Tax Free Table Sale until May 1st!
The end of the Personalized line of tables ends with our Tax Free Tables sale on May 1st, 2025. In this promotion we cover the sales tax on new purchases from our website. Remember those payment plans–0% financing is good stuff when you can get it!
Play Games and Be Happy
One reason our family is grateful beyond measure is YOU. How many other businesses can say they get to play so much for a living? I’ve seen people passionate about the games they enjoy and eager to share that joy for decades now. It’s beautiful. We’re happy our game tables have become part of so many people’s stories and lives.
I want to encourage people to play more. Everyone deserves a mental break. Forge new connections or rekindle old ones with people in the real world if possible. Memories are seldom made on purpose without ritual; rather, it’s the accumulation of great everyday moments which bring meaning. And if your “everyday moment” is a particular known recipe for group events, or a funny/awful kind of dice luck, that’s just part of the fun.
You read all the way to the end–congratulations! Email [email protected] for a free set of our leather coasters (made 100% from post-industrial waste) with your order. Tell them “We play games too.”
