We had a pretty nice table that worked well for poker. Our 60" square dining room table. So i wanted a top to work with it. Some hardboard, headliner, and sage green suede and this is what i got, works great and looks nice too. And I can really take it anywhere.

and hopefully a piece of 'rug gripper' or that non-skid drawer liner underneath to prevent sliding and messing up that nice table.

The tabletop doesn't fold, didn't want a crease in the middle. It's only 48" square and it is very light. It is 1/8th inch hardboard(pegboard without the holes) braced with 1x2's around. there is some added support in the center . In retrospect I would just go for a 1/2" sheet of plywood, I may tear it all up and do that before its all over, but i was trying to get it done before this weekend.
the reason for the 1/8" hard board originally is that the plywood was going to make the whole thing too heavy when added to the track and rails i was going to have, and 1/4" hardboard felt even heavier. I was also trying to complete this as cheap as possible. too bad I wasted the money on the wood for the track(I was trying to rush and couldn't get the 45's right) that is the scrap i have leftover now.
Could have done this for
1.5 yards suede - $15
1.5 yards headlineer - $15
1/2" sheet of particle/ply board - $12
Custom fit table top - $42
Spray adhesive and staples I already had
money wasted on unused stuff
Other wood $30
Other Fabric $15

funny you should say that. Before I did the padded top, we just rolled out one of those rug pads on the bare table and threw the fabric over it. REALLY cheap since i already had the rug pad and functional.
Now i have some leftover weather stripping stuck on the bottom for protection and luckily it is non slip.
