I’ve been after something like this for awhile myself. I don’t have much space between the games so it has to be pretty narrow. I’ll probably just need to make something myself but I haven’t had the time.
If there is even a chance of a table touching one of the machines I wouldn't risk it. Or if there is a chance of a drink getting spilled and splashing onto the sides of the table? If I saw someone nudging really hard into said table?
Just, no. Not for me. My heart's already racing just thinking about it.

Find a table with foam edges for protection of your pins.
I’d assume that you’ll have to custom build something. I doubt that you’ll find a table that’s 6” wide.
I'm a fan of pingulps myself, but if I were to have tables between my games I would make them short enough that they could be tucked under the game whenever I need to get between machines to work on them.
Pingulps for each game. Purses can go on the floor or somewhere else. It's your home right, not a public arcade or bar?
I am looking for home and a bar, thinking yeah 6-12” wide probably, padded sides is a good idea, need to be convienent height for setting stuff,

I'll 3rd pingulps! Great stuff!
If you’re set on a table, I would get some 30” wooden bar stools without padding and put them just behind the player, between machine gaps.

I've seen some "flipper shaped" tables much like the snowboard above at places here. Can't for the life of me figure out where they bought them...wouldn't mind one like that myself. Currently I have a shelf that attaches like a pingulp that goes between them.
Pingulps won’t hold mugs, or peoples “stuff” while they play, I like the flipper shaped table idea, next time post a pic of you remember.
. Picked this up at Expo a few years ago. Unfortunately the Op relocated and took his tables to the north end of town so I can't get a picture of the flipper table.
Here's an image of the flipper table from the Op I found online...

White one on the left, yellow to the right of the beer...
I see an opportunity for some enterprising soul!
The giant flipper rubber would protect the side art. Brilliant!

Cidercade in Dallas has really good ones...but I don’t have any pics. They are snug which makes the hard core nudging guys upset cause they can’t slide games around.
I like this idea, I have enough room for 6.5 machines along one of my walls, so parting them with thin tables would be cool. I really like the snowboard idea. I used to skateboard (poorly) when I was younger, so I'm going to check into the feasibility of that.
My worry with snowboard and skateboard is you want flat surface to keep drinks from spilling onto machines
Kickback in Pittsburgh had some really interesting ones when I went there a few years ago. They seemed to be attached to the floor, and weren’t tables per se; I think they were just for protecting the games, but they could easily have a tabletop attached. If I recall correctly they were mostly made out of foam with a wood or metal base.
Quoted from oropuro:My worry with snowboard and skateboard is you want flat surface to keep drinks from spilling onto machines
If you build a rectangular apron structure underneath and screw the board directly into that (black screws in the pic above), it flattens the camber/rocker of the board and you wind up with a nice flat surface. Minus the tip/tail of course.

Apologies if there's a more recent post or some conclusion to this... an exhaustive search finally yielded this table (of which I just ordered two): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NWDJM9L
Hope this is helpful to the next person who goes on the between-table quest... the search term that finally unlocked this for me was "skinny wall table," if this Yamazaki Home model is unavailable or not your style.
Quoted from Jamesays:Because of the shakers and side art the table couldnt be touching the game,IMO
Should add that I’m wrapping mine in babyproofing foam (like you’d put on the edge of a glass coffee table).

Nice find! Apparently the owner had them custom made. I found the following from a Pinside supporter…

Thanks mattrg_2000 ! Just ordered one as a sample to try from them. I'll post an update once I get it.
