Delivery & Assembly Services

Delivery and Assembly Services for a Poker Table

A poker table arrives as a large, heavy freight item, and the two delivery and assembly services in this category exist so you are not left alone with it on the driveway. Both are from BBO Poker Tables, and both begin with an inspection, so the table gets looked over while the delivery crew is still there rather than after the truck has pulled away. From that point the two options separate: White Glove Full adds assembly and removal of the packaging, while White Glove Lite supplies a hardware kit and leaves the build to you. Across the two services, pricing runs $199 to $299.

White Glove Full vs. White Glove Lite

The practical difference is who assembles the table and who deals with the boxes afterward. Use the comparison below to match a service to the amount of work you actually want to take on.

If you want the shortest path from truck to first hand dealt, White Glove Full is the option that ends with a standing table and no cardboard left behind. If you have a helper lined up and would rather keep more of your budget on the table itself, White Glove Lite keeps the inspection step and hands you the hardware to finish the job on your own schedule.

Which White Glove Delivery Option Suits Your Game Room

Think about the route into the room, not just the room. A full-size poker table is long, heavy and awkward for two people to steer through a turn, and the constraints below tend to decide the choice:

• Basement or second-floor game rooms. Stairs, landings and tight turns are where self-assembly plans usually break down. Assembling in the room, as White Glove Full does, avoids moving a finished table through a doorway.
• Narrow doorways and hallways. Measure the tightest point on the path before you decide. The less room you have to maneuver, the more the full service is worth.
• Apartments, condos and HOA neighborhoods. Where curbside disposal is limited, the packaging removal in White Glove Full saves you from storing large cartons and foam for weeks.
• Hands-on buyers with help available. White Glove Lite fits a ground-floor room, a clear path and at least one other set of hands.
• Surprise or event setups. If the table needs to be ready the day it lands, the full service is the one to add.

What Delivery and Assembly Adds to Your Order

The two services here fall between $199 and $299, depending on how much of the setup is handled for you. Because they are add-on services rather than products in their own right, that cost sits on top of the table you buy. Weigh it against what self-assembly actually requires: a second person for the afternoon, a dolly or straps, floor protection, and a plan for breaking down and hauling off the packaging. For a lot of buyers the full service costs roughly what a wasted Saturday and a scratched tabletop would.

Preparing for Delivery Day

• Measure the narrowest point on the route from the entry door to the room, including doorway widths and stairwell turns.
• Clear the path in advance so nothing has to be moved while the crew is holding a heavy carton.
• Decide the final position of the table before arrival. An assembled poker table is not something you want to slide across a room by yourself.
• Plan seating and lighting around the table footprint, so chairs and overhead fixtures are not an afterthought.
• Use the inspection step. Look over the playing surface, the rail and the base while the delivery is still in progress rather than the following week.
