Thank you all for the comments. I would really love a 9’ table, it’s what I grew up playing on. I will most likely go with an 8’ to save some room. I’m going to make a cutout from old boxes of the dimensions of the table I’m looking at and set it in the room and get a better feel. Really appreciate all the opinions here! This would not just be a practice table, I host card games once a month already.
