88"x40" is 8" shorter and 8" narrower than the full size 8'x4' table. It is useful for spaces where the 8'x4' table would be just too big but still allows for the casino cloth to be fitted in correct proportion all around the table. It comfortably fits 8 players. It comes as standard with a heavy duty folding base but can be upgraded to a steel base or modern pedestal base.
