Zola Mod

I was hesitant at first to give Zola a shot for many reasons. I was already convinced for the last 2 years that I would eventually buy a Jasper table or equivalent. Jasper had tons of "mid" reviews and was considered the best "bang-for-your-buck" board game table. The problem that I was having is that it felt like every game table company was focused on making a table that functions, rather than a table that can look good too. I found Zola in an Insta ad and was immediately drawn to how good it looked as it's primary purpose: a table; the centerpiece to the room you put it in. When I found Zola, there was only 1 review from an alpha tester of the table, so I was hesitant to pull the trigger on it. It was a combination of the price, the modern design, and fast shipping that got me to take a chance and buy it.

Upon buying it, I realized I had the wrong shipping address and color, thankfully Zola has really great customer service. Someone was able to quickly help me change both issues and sent a follow-up invoice to my email as confirmation of the changes. The customer support agent also answered tons of questions about the company and product and was overall super nice helpful. If you do have questions, they aren't lying about that chat button at the bottom of the screen.

The table shipped in 6 days for me and the assembly was unbelievably fast and easy (like 24 screws on the bottom of the table and you're done). While there was 2 small chips in the wood (both not visible with the toppers on), the overall build quality is stellar. I found myself just feeling the wood after building it and it just felt like quality. The rails (internal and external) are clean and the magnetic strength is perfect for all the accessories. Extra rail accessories can be stored inside the table on the internal rails so you don't have to find places to store accessory pieces (not sure if this is true for the tablet accessory piece). The rails are fully adjustable and removable so they are always aligned. The recessed play area is perfect height (2.5") and the side rails are the perfect width (like 3"?). The included mat has no issue fitting into the recessed area and feels very premium (plus, I love the design). Also, it's not obvious from the listing but this table also comes with a 3x3' mat since the 3x5' table is actually the 3x3 with an extension (the extension gives you the 3x5 mat).

I was contacted personally by the founder of Zola and was asked how the table was. I responded with all of my thoughts and concerns in a super long email. I still can't believe it, but he took the time to respond to every single item I brought up. He even gave tips on table maintenance and assembly that are being included in future instructions. I'm blown away by the customer support that I've experienced with Zola and if you are having any concerns about purchasing a table from a brand that has yet to be established, please consider my review as proof that this company DESERVES to take over the board game table market from other established brands that are metaphorically asleep at the wheel. Hopefully soon there will be some full video reviews online of this table as more and more people find out about it.

I've been looking for a dining/tabletop gaming table for months but havent quite found a table that made sense to me. I eventually came across this table and it just checked all the right boxes for. Good price, modern clean look, perfect size for my dining area, easy to assemble, and sturdy. It's really hard to beat given what this table costs. Most other companies would cost 2 to 3 times as much and might not even come with table leafs to cover the play area. I also recieved this table in only a couple days which is much faster than most other tables taking months to arrive.

I love the aesthetic and ease of being able to go from dining mode to game mode. The magnetic rails and accessries are very useful and easy to use. This table is very modular and has a lot of potential for future upgrades and add-ons. I'm excited to see what they come out with next!

The customer service has also been outstanding. I had many questions and concerns before buying and they were extremely helpful and accomodating in making sure that everything met my needs. I can't stress this enough. I judge companies strongly on their customer service post purchase and Zola Mod went above and beyond without me even asking. You should feel confident in knowing that this company stands behind their product and making sure their customers are satisfied with what they recieve.

I've included multiple photos of the table being used both set up for dining and for playing games. I hope this review helps others to make a decision on purchasing one of these tables and being able to enjoy tabletop games on another level without breaking the bank.

This table not only met expectations, but exceeded them! It looks exactly like the picture and was very easy to assemble. Despite the ease of assembly, its the most stable table I've ever had. I feel like I finally have the gaming table of my dreams! I'd recommend taking the leap and ordering for anyone on the fence. Customer service is also super responsive to any questions or concerns.

A well designed, well sized table that's a pleasure to use. The lower sections of the tables (i.e., the black, smooth parts in the photos) are metal, and all the parts you're going to play on/lean on/touch most often are wood. They're built like a rock -- almost no movement with the Ticket to Ride Disaster test (with a full post-game TTR board, hammer on the side rail of the table and see what happens) -- and the removable playmat is a great idea (and the surface below the playmat is nice enough that you won't mind playing without it). Not the nicest woodwork I've ever seen in a table -- the finish work leans more towards durable than beautiful -- but those tables were at least 5x the price (and weren't as nice to play on).

Really, the only complaint I have is that I wish the cupholders were deeper because I am a klutz and need all the disaster avoidance help I can get. (That said, I can vouch that all the surfaces of the tables clean up perfectly, including the playmat.)

I helped answer some questions for the company a while back about what we would want in a game table as an Friendly Local Game Store. Durability was key, as well as the ability to partner with the company to sell tables.

They have delivered in spades! I got a couple of these in just last week and I must say, as someone who has assembled and tested multiple game tables this is the best I've seen for the price. Seriously, the sturdiness is second to none. The finish looks good enough to eat. And the play surface is just plain elegant - no bouncy bottom like I've seen on other tables.

I've shown off the tables to many of my customers, some of whom own gaming tables, some who are in the market, and some who hadn't even thought of getting one. The response was always positive and I've got several customers ready to pick them up once I have them in hand.

Yes, they are a new company. But they are the real deal. You can find our information in the dealer locator - if you're in the Pittsburgh area stop by and see it in person. It truly does not disappoint.

(Pictures are from the table set up in our store's Puzzle Nook showing off my personal favorite RPG - The One Ring. Just looking at them makes me want to play!)

I love that they put together a killer starter accessory bundle for 4 seats. It’s the right amount of everything you need to get going without feeling overwhelmed. The magnetic tracks keep everything organized, and the solid oak accessories are top-notch. It really adds to the overall experience and makes game nights even better.

We don't have room for a big gaming table in our condo but the square Pangea table fits perfectly! It has a full 3 foot by 3 foot playing area which is more than enough room for us! Absolutely love this table!

I purchased from them back when they were 33 Robots liquidated TOUG and they were great to work with! Answered all my questions and shipped fast. They mentioned they were getting into the design space over a year ago and I've been waiting to see what they cooked up and they did not disappoint! These new tables are sick! We received the 3x5 last week and the quality is night and day from my previous table. We're so excited!

I was lucky enough to be part of the beta group for the Pangea Table, and let me tell you, this thing is stout. Way more stout than I expected, especially for the price. For example, the vault table surface is actually a solid table surface, not one of those thin, flexible boards you find on other gaming tables. You could literally do jumping jacks on this table. It also has a nice weight to it, so it doesn’t budge, and we haven’t had any issues with game resets from someone bumping into the table.

It features magnetic accessory rails, which are becoming more common on gaming tables, so there’s probably some cross-compatibility with other tables, though I haven’t tested that yet. Another big plus with Zola is that the accessories aren’t going to break the piggy bank. Just about everything comes in two packs at half the price of single items from other gaming table makers. And they didn’t skimp on build—these accessories are all solid oak, and the magnetic connectors are solid too.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed and couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Zola's Pangea Gaming Table!
