• General Questions
  • How much does it cost?
    Pricing starts at $9,650. Back to top
  • So why does it cost so much?
    Short Answer: High quality materials and labor intensive craftsmanship cost money. We have set the price as low as we can without going bankrupt in the process. In comparison, high end pool tables cost more and do less with inferior craftsmanship.

  • Do you have a smaller table?
    Short Answer: We make an Abridged Sultan, which is shorter by 18 inches. This retains a 4' x 6' interior playing surface but lets us maneuver it on end to more compact locations. Back to top
  • Does the shorter table cost less?
    No. The savings in materials is inconsequential and the amount of labor is unchanged. If there were savings to be passed along to our customers you can be certain we would. Back to top
  • Do you have something smaller than that?
    Not yet....

  • Do you have a cheaper table?
    Not yet, though the Sultan will always be our premire table. If you can get it, you should get it. Back to top
  • Is the table identical on both sides?
    Yes, unless customized differently all of our tables are identical end matching end and side matching side. Back to top
  • Can you write on the acrylic surface?
    Yes, treat it like a dry erase board and you will be fine. Felt tips only, roller ball tips will dent the surface. And though it shouldn't dent the surface, you probably don't want to deal with removing crayon or grease pencils.

  • What is custom furniture anyway?
    Short Answer: Any piece of furniture that is made to order is considered custom. (kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, sofa's. . .)

    TLDR Answer: A custom piece of furniture is firstly made to order for the client. This does not necessarily mean that the client must design it. Secondly it is usually made out of non-dimensional lumber. This means the craftsman gets rough sawn lumber from a distributor or lumber mill which must first be run through a jointer to ensure it is squared, then the board is rough cut with a band type saw to the width desired, and finally the board is planed smooth. (You now have lumber that resembles lumber you may purchase through a local lumber store.) Now the lumber can begin to be cut out into the patterns to make the furniture. Finally custom allows the craftsman to make small changes if needed for the clients piece that large scale manufacturing does not allow for.     Back to top
  • What kind of maintenance does the Sultan require?
    The same as any other piece of fine furniture, occasionally polish the wood and wax the drawers. Back to top
  • What do I do if it gets dammaged.
    First consider the fact that regular everyday wear and dings give your table the the stature and bearing of something that has seen use. Scars tell stories. Also remember that the dings and scratches won't be penetrating a veneer and exposing an ugly interior.

    However the day may come when it needs to be sanded and refinished. Refinishing is an art and we would recommend engaging a professional to do so.     Back to top
  • Do you have financing?
    Not currently, though we have been pursuing it. However we have found that pursuing a loan from your local bank usually results in better terms because in todays economy they really want you to prove who you are in person. Back to top
  • Do you have a payment plan?
    Contact us and we can work with you if this is your optimum solution. Back to top
  • Constuction Questions
  • Do you do custom requests?
    Well.. kind of. We deliver the price that we can based on the assumption of a certain amount of  efficiencies in the production proccess. That is just a longwinded way of saying “potentially, but it will be expensive”. If it is important to you however contact us and we will work with you as we have done with others in the past to get your piece just right.

  • Where do you get your wood?
    The question you are really asking is are you building your tables in an environmentally consious way. The answer is a resounding yes. We use only domestic hardwoods from sustainable forrests with real oversite. We are constantlty evaluating manufacture to reduce our environmental impact. Here at Geek Chic we believe that the simplest and best way to be green is to buy something you don’t intend to throw away. Quality durable goods cost more, but the costs are in the renewable resource of human labor and not finite resources.

  • Can I get it in a different wood?
    Short answer, yes but for a increased price.

    We picked black walnut as our primary wood for a number of reasons. One, it is less suseptible to swelling and contraction seasonally than other wood, which makes the tolerances we can achieve with our flip down desks and similar features more precise. Two, we believe black walnut matches a larger variety of wood tones than any other.

  • What if I want my table made out of a wood that isn't from a sustainable forest?
    If it is important to match a wood that is not sustainable currently we can work with you if you are willing to use reclaimed lumber. Acquiring the right wood from these sources does take time however. Back to top
  • Why does a different wood cost more money?
    We buy walnut and maple by the truckload which brings down the cost for us and ultimately the cost for you. If we have to buy just enough wood in the type you want for your table, the cost will be greater . Additionally putting your wood into production always has it’s unique quirks and results in longer labor hours bringing the cost of the table up.

  • How do I remove the accidental application of permanent marker on my acrylic surface?
    An old school remedy is if a sharpie type permanent marker was applied, running the ink of a dry erase marker over it will usually remove the scar. We also carry a deep cleaning product for such a situation or if staining occurs over time. This product is a solvent and must be applied carefully because it will not only remove the stain, but it will remove the catalyzed lacquer coating the wood of the table, so do not spray it on any of the wooden surfaces! Back to top
  • Are the plastic/acrylic surfaces scratch resistant?
    Yes and no, Treat the surfaces as you would a dry erase board and you should be just fine. If damage occurs, we include a kit to repair the plastic. Back to top
  • Is there something in the corners?
    Gnomes. Corners have to be completed from the inside and so we get gnomes to do it. Payments to their next of kin contribute to the overall cost of the sultan. Back to top
  • What if the acrylic surface breaks?
    The acrylic we use in the table is both durable and flexible. It shouldn't break in normal use. However if some accident maims it we can help you replace it. Back to top
  • What is underneath the Plexiglass?
    The extra deep drawers hide here, as does a hidden storage space for maps, accessible by removing the middle drawer. (Though do note that if you have a Sultan Polestar table this hidden storage is removed in favor a more usable desk station) Also there are long joists to ensure the stability of your table and evenness of your playing surface.

  • Why don't you have a (insert high tech gadget name here) in the table?
    Short Answer: We are determined to give you a table that will withstand the test of time.

    TLDR Answer: For example if you wanted a music player in your table in the 1970's you wanted an 8 track tape deck, 1980's a cassette tape deck, 1990's a CD player, 2000's an Ipod docking station, 2010's small spike that you impale into the listeners tympanic bone is now the only way to listen to music, rendering the installation of any of the previous technology a useless scar upon your beautiful table. (No, we don't actually know if that last one is where music is heading, but if it does, you heard it here first.) The same goes for laptop electrical cords, we can install attachments to deal with power cords, but at the rate battery technology is changing, like your cellular phone or mp3 player, you may just have a docking type station that you set it on at night rendering the need for cords obsolete.

  • Shipping Questions
  • How much does it cost to ship?
    Currently, through the end of the year shipping is on us. Back to top
  • Does it come in one piece?
    No, the legs are detachable and the acrylic is removable. This allows us to maneuver it more easily during installation. The depth of the table is 11 inches, the width is 5.5 feet and the length is 7.5 or 9 feet depending on your model. This is what you need to be thinking of when you are trying to decide where to put it.
