If you are on the fence about investing in a Nilo, don’t be. It will last. You will get your money’s worth.

We’ve had our Nilo table for 11 years. Still in perfect shape, played with every day, plus an overseas move and three stateside moves.

Play Table & Accessory Questions

Quick answers before you choose your piece.

What is the difference between an Activity Table and a Gaming Table?

Activity tables are sized for kids, with framing holes for accessories like baseplates, Slide Hammer N Nails, and craft supplies. Gaming tables are sized for adults and built for board games, miniatures, RPGs, and card games with optional cup holders, shelves, and toppers.

Will accessories fit my older Nilo table?

Yes. Nilo accessories are built to match tables already in service for 10, 20, 30 years. Same dimensions, same hardwood, same fit. Same family, same workshop.

Are these tables good for classrooms or daycares?

Yes. Nilo tables are used by families, schools, daycares, and childcare spaces because they are sturdy, simple to clean, and designed for repeated daily use.

Who makes Nilo?

Nilo is a family-run business, designed by the Ernst family and operating since 1992. Tables are hand-finished with kid-safe non-toxic materials and built from real hardwood for years of daily use.

What if a part is damaged when it arrives?

We stand behind every Nilo. If a part arrives damaged, we replace it free. These tables are built so well that families regularly pass them down between siblings and to the next generation.

Built once. Played on for years.

Choose a hardwood Nilo built for the way kids and families actually play.
