I determined the dimensions by placing a Monopoly board and the play money so that we could use this to play our games. My wife wanted that tile inlay and a nutmeg colored grout. For some reason, the grout looks pink but it really is a much darker shade and looks very nice in natural light. I used quartersawn white oak and stained it with a basic Minwax polyurethane finish. I like the sturdy feel and used through mortises.

Very nice job on this table. I’ve had a box of tile my wife and I picked out about ten years ago, to build something like this. Just never seem to find the time. Maybe this will give me some more inspiration. Thanks for the post.

I especially liked how your design was influenced by a game of monopoly. Well done!

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, this is a very sturdy table and my oldest son already has dibs on it when I kick the bucket someday!

Very nice table! I did one with some tile inlay. Mine was easy. Two 12’’ tiles at either end. Routed with a templet. How did you do the inlay? I love it, all of it!
