Hathaway Kingston BG2351T 3-in-1 Table in Dark Oak
Three Tables in One Footprint — Dining, Poker, and Bumper Pool Without the Extra Room
A 48-inch North American hardwood pedestal table that flips from dinner party to poker night to bumper pool in seconds — with a furniture finish that belongs in your game room, not just your basement.
The Hathaway Kingston 3-in-1 Poker Table (BG2351T) in Dark Oak is a full-size, furniture-grade pedestal table that does the work of three separate pieces without taking up more than one spot in your game room. By day it is a handsome 48-inch round dining table with a solid North American hardwood inlaid top and a classic dark oak finish. Flip the reversible top and it becomes a padded, black leather-look poker surface with eight integrated chip racks and rubber-lined cup holders. Lift the top off entirely and you are looking at a ready-to-play bumper pool table with premium green billiard cloth, K-66 gum rubber bumpers, and a complete ball-and-cue set already included. For game rooms where space is at a premium and style still matters, the Kingston is the table that earns its place.
What You Get with the Kingston
Every surface of the Kingston was engineered for a specific game — and for looking good when no one is playing. Here is how each mode works and why it matters.
One Table, Three Games — No Extra Footprint
Dining table, poker table, and bumper pool table share a single 48-inch pedestal base. You do not need a dedicated room for each game — the Kingston converts between all three in under a minute, without tools.
Full 48-Inch Diameter — Up to 8 Seats Around the Table
Whether you are hosting a dinner party or a poker night, the 48-inch round top comfortably fits up to 8 people without anyone feeling squeezed. Eight chip racks and eight cup holders mean everyone has a proper spot — no crowding the edges.
North American Hardwood Construction — Furniture Grade, Not Game-Room Grade
The 1.25-inch thick inlaid hardwood top and solid hardwood legs are built to the standard of furniture, not a folding game table. The dark oak finish is something guests will notice and compliment before the cards are dealt.
Rubber-Lined Cup Holders — Protection Built In, Not Bolted On
Eight 3-inch cup holders with removable 1/8-inch rubber inserts keep glasses off the hardwood surface. The rubber insert protects the finish from rings and moisture — pull it out and the table looks as clean as the day it arrived.
Regulation Gum Rubber Bumpers — True Caroms, Every Time
The bumper pool table uses K-66 gum rubber bumpers — the same profile found on full-size billiard tables — for consistent, lively ball response. The green billiard cloth and 43-inch octagonal play area give you a genuine bumper pool experience, not a novelty version of it.
All Accessories Included — Play Day One, No Extra Purchases
Two 48-inch pool cues, 10 poly-resin bumper pool balls (5 red, 5 white), chalk, and a table brush ship in the box. The poker surface and dining top are both part of the table assembly. The only thing you need to add is company.
How the Three Modes Work
The Kingston's conversion is straightforward because each surface is a discrete, removable layer. The base always stays in place.
- Dining mode: The 1.25-inch inlaid hardwood top sits face-up on the pedestal base. Eight rubber-lined cup holders protect the finish. Seats up to 8 guests around the 48-inch round.
- Poker mode: Flip the top over. The underside is a padded 34.5-inch octagonal insert covered in black synthetic leather with eight integrated chip racks and eight cup holders — held flat with velcro strips so it does not shift mid-hand.
- Bumper pool mode: Lift the top off entirely. The pedestal base reveals the bumper pool table: green billiard cloth playing surface, ABS bumper posts with K-66 gum rubber caps, leather-strap ball pockets, and a 43-inch octagonal play area. Rack the balls and play.
Padded Poker Surface — Eight Chip Racks, Eight Cup Holders, No Slipping
The poker insert is a 1/4-inch MDF panel with 1/4-inch of foam padding underneath a black synthetic leather playing surface — enough cushion to feel premium, enough firmness to deal cleanly. Each of the eight chip racks measures 7.75 × 4 × 1/2 inches deep, sized for a proper stack of chips without spilling. The velcro-strip mounting means the poker top stays put when the action gets competitive, and lifts cleanly away when it's time to clear the table.
Who the Hathaway Kingston Is For
- Game room owners with limited square footage who want dining, poker, and pool without dedicating three separate areas to three separate tables.
- Poker night hosts who want a proper padded surface with chip racks and cup holders — not a felt cloth thrown over the kitchen table.
- Families and households with mixed use cases — a table that earns its place every night at dinner and every weekend at game night.
- Bumper pool enthusiasts who want K-66 gum rubber bumpers and a full-size play area without a dedicated pool table footprint.
- Buyers who care about furniture aesthetics — the dark oak finish and hardwood inlay top mean this table looks intentional in a furnished room, not incidental.
- Anyone furnishing a game room or man cave from scratch and looking for one piece that anchors the space and keeps everyone entertained.

Hathaway Kingston 3-in-1 Table — Frequently Asked Questions
How does the table convert between dining, poker, and bumper pool?
No tools required for any conversion. In dining mode, the hardwood inlaid top sits face-up on the pedestal. To switch to poker, flip the top over — the padded black leather poker surface with chip racks and cup holders is on the underside, held flat by velcro strips. To reveal the bumper pool table, lift the top off entirely. The bumper pool surface is built into the pedestal base and is always ready to play.
What are the table's dimensions and how much space do I need?
The table is 48 inches in diameter and approximately 33.5 inches tall. Because it is round with a pedestal base, it takes up a 48-inch footprint. For comfortable seating of 6–8 guests, plan for at least 36–42 inches of clearance around the full circumference so chairs can be pushed back freely. A room roughly 11–12 feet square is workable for a full 8-person setup. Note: the assembly manual separately lists height as 31 inches in some sources — verify the final figure with Hathaway (800-759-0977) if it is critical to your room plan.
Do chairs come with the table?
No. This listing (BG2351T) is for the table only. Matching Kingston arm chairs are sold separately. The chairs feature a beech hardwood frame in a dark oak finish, synthetic black leather upholstery, padded seat and back, and a gas tilt-and-swivel mechanism with casters.
How many players can the poker table accommodate?
The Kingston seats 4 to 8 players for poker or dining. There are exactly 8 chip racks and 8 cup holders built into the poker surface, so a full 8-player game is fully equipped without adding anything extra.
What bumper pool accessories are included?
The table ships with 10 poly-resin bumper pool balls (5 red, 5 white) at 2.125 inches in diameter, two 48-inch pool cues, chalk (2 pieces), and a table brush. The bumper pool table itself — green billiard cloth, K-66 gum rubber bumpers, ABS bumper posts, and 16 leather-strap ball pockets — is built into the base.
What are K-66 gum rubber bumpers and why does it matter?
K-66 is the standard profile specification for gum rubber billiard cushions used on full-size pool tables. Using K-66 bumpers on the Kingston means the ball response and rebound angle are consistent and true — closer to a professional table than the hard plastic or foam bumpers found on lower-grade game tables. It is one of the details that separates this table from comparable products.
Is the table easy to clean? What about the poker surface?
The hardwood dining top can be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth — avoid saturating the surface. The poker insert is covered in black synthetic leather, which wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. The rubber cup holder inserts are removable and can be rinsed separately. For the bumper pool cloth, use a dry billiard table brush (included) to sweep chalk and ball debris away from the surface after each session.
Can this table be used outdoors?
No. Hathaway's assembly instructions specify that the Kingston is intended for indoor use only. The hardwood construction and billiard cloth are not rated for outdoor exposure and would be damaged by moisture, UV, and temperature variation.
How difficult is assembly and how long does it take?
Hathaway rates assembly at approximately 120 minutes. Two adults are recommended — the table is solid hardwood and needs to be flipped upright after the pedestal is attached. The only tool you need to bring is a Phillips head screwdriver; a wrench is included in the hardware pack. The assembly sequence is four steps: attach the plate to the pedestal, attach the pedestal to the table body, attach the four legs, then flip the table upright and set the top in place.
What is the warranty on this table?
The Kingston BG2351T is covered by Hathaway's 180-day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, running from the original purchase date. The warranty is non-transferable, covers the original purchaser only, and does not apply to damage from misuse, accidents, or commercial/institutional use. Normal wear and scratches are not covered. Contact Hathaway at 800-759-0977 with your proof of purchase and model number to initiate a warranty claim.
Can I get replacement parts?
Yes. Hathaway stocks replacement parts for this model. Call their consumer hotline at 800-759-0977 and reference model BG2351T along with the part number from your assembly instructions. Replacement bumper rings are separately available: NGP23221 (red) and NGP23231 (white).
Is this table suitable for commercial use — a bar, restaurant, or club?
No. Hathaway states this product is not intended for institutional or commercial use, and commercial use voids the manufacturer's warranty. It is a residential game table.
Does Deck & Den offer free shipping on this table?
Yes. Deck & Den ships free on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states, and this table qualifies. Given its size and weight, delivery will be via freight carrier with scheduled delivery and tracking provided once your order ships.
What is the return policy?
Deck & Den offers a 45-day return window from delivery. For full terms and to start a return, visit our returns page.
