I'm finding dining room type tables are a bit too tall and coffee tables are a bit too low.

    This may or may not be helpfull in your search for a stand. I was looking for a stand about a year ago and the biggest issue I worried about was if the stand could support the weight. Remember the the weight greatly increases when the machine is fully loaded with balls. That being said, the best cheap side table option I found(in another thread) was the ikea lack side table. It can support the weight fine.

    I looked for standard table options and didn't find anything I liked until I searched for work benches. No issues with the weight with a work bench and some are adjustable in height. I went with this one.

    While not adjustable in height, it hold 3 vintage pachinkos and room for more underneath.

    I also think work benches work the best; since you will certainly need more than just one pachinko machine…

    You can get them in varying sizes; and the height is adjustable to fit whatever chairs you are using, I prefer bar stools, as Bowl mentions; under the table you can store other machines if needed. The Gladiator workbench I bought will hold hundreds of pounds and be very sturdy; I’ve stood on top of it (I’m over 200lbs) with 3 moderns loaded with balls also on it at the same time (well over 650lbs total) and it felt rock solid.

    I've largely converted to using 2x2,3x2,4x2 etc cube organizers. I originally had a few different things but standardized when I realized the cube organizers can hold alot of weight. Plus you can use the cubes to store pachi related items.
