Building the war room of my dreams
Table : concept
Tools
Initial design of the table was done using TinkerCad, which is free 3D design website.

Design constraints
Two things were essential
- tabletop size : big enough to play ‘all’ games
- storage space
- high enough to play the games standing or sitting
The first part was ‘easy’. The big games need a 6 foot x 4 foot table.
In proper metric this is about 180cm x 120 cm.
Adding a bit of extra space gave me dimensions of +/- 220 cm x 150 cm.
Storage wasn’t too difficult either. The Ikea Kallax 4×2 room dividers offer a decent height while also providing storage space.
