Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.

I’m almost thinking about buying something like this, but building it upside down? Essentially like a pull out but on top of the table (more a stand?)

Or several of these?

I don’t know. 🤣

I really like the keyboard tray, folding under the table is great for dice or small plates or bowls for snaking.

You don't want to build it upside down. My current DM tried something like that in a similar situation, and it being above normal tabletop height makes it super inconvenient

Yeah, it was a gamble for sure. What do you think of the other trays I linked?

I'd try to get something as close to flush with the normal tabletop surface as possible
