Yep, Mario's towers are really goodI HIGHLY recommend Mario's towers!!! Excellent quality and great customer service.
I totally agree on the noise which is why I don't like glasses, though I have no problem with those who use them. I bought my Pleva-tower about 2 decades ago and it is still going strong and silent and gives very good randomization with my Battle School Dice. I can see the dice with no problem, don't have to sit up at all nor do the dice hop out maybe once every few hundred rolls. Combined with a balanced ASL scenario and a good, friendly opponent (Hi Tom Morin!) and you have a the best of all worlds, Vic.I decided to use the Lars Thuring method—leather dice cup and a mouse pad. I like it better than a tower, it’s more portable, and it doesn’t make any noise. The older I get the less I like the noise from dice glasses.
Check out Mario’s towers here or on facebook fully customisable with whatever decoration you want and whatever tray to use with it, her is my one with extra slots for my most used Info counters, they take two trays each sideI've envied a Pleva dice tower for years now. When he was making them, I didn't have the $$ to get one. Now I can, but he doesn't make them anymore. Ritterkrieg makes a similar product, but seems that he's on a dice-tower-making hiatus. Does anyone know somewhere else to source a dice tower of similar quality and make as a Pleva tower?
TIA

in the groups I play in the tower is always in the middle of the table and both players can see the diceWhile I have a few towers, I switched to the cup for ASL out of ease of transport and ability of my opponent to see what I rolled. While most will say they can see their dice just fine in their tower, it’s not always as easy for their opponent on the other side of the table. So now I use the cup.
I actually own TWO of Mario's towers and I love and use them both often!The dude in Italy makes the wood ones with the custom graphics. Here is his email address for a quote. Info@latorredeidadi.it

I found that guy on Etsy. He said the sides were 1" high, and not modify-able, isn't it too tall?Couple years ago I got dissatisfied with my dice tower and went looking for a replacement and found a nice one for reasonable price on Amazon, got it in short order. Just checked and guy in Tennessee still making them.
Good throat - can use my big dice in it without hang-fires.
Tray is high enough dice don't come out, felt is good quality.
Tower fits snug inside tray for compact portability.
Wood working and finish is excellent.
For the quality you get, quite a bargain:

IMO, yes. Unless the throat will accept 1" dice. Remember, your opponent will be sitting across the table. The tray on my tower is about 1/2" deep. I use either 1/2" (12mm) or 9/16" (16mm) dice. Easily seen from across the table. -- jimI found that guy on Etsy. He said the sides were 1" high, and not modify-able, isn't it too tall?

Haven't found the height thing to be an issue in use. Rather have the dice not come out of the tray.I found that guy on Etsy. He said the sides were 1" high, and not modify-able, isn't it too tall?
I bought one of these a couple of months ago. I agree with all of the above. My only complaint is that it is a little on the loud side particularly with larger dice going down the tower. Definitely a good bargain.Couple years ago I got dissatisfied with my dice tower and went looking for a replacement and found a nice one for reasonable price on Amazon, got it in short order.
