Best Choice Products 48in Competition Sized Foosball Table for Home, Game Room w/ 2 Balls, 2 Cup Holders

This foosball table took a while to construct, about two hours by myself while also multi-tasking. Instructions could have been better, but there are Youtube videos for installation. I had to disassemble and reassemble the table to properly align the players - this could have been clearer in the instructions, but it all came together with no missing or extra parts.Once assembled, this game is a lot of fun for 2-4 players. It is a smaller table, sized for children, but still fun for adults. Our 4 and 6 yo love the foosball table. It seems to be solidly constructed. This is my second Best Choice Products game, the other was air hockey. Both seem to be quality products and I would recommend them based on quality and price.

I looked at the reviews and given the price, I purchased this as a present for my 10 year old grandchild. I have built many "some assembly required" furniture pieces in the past, so I was not too worried about the difficulty some were having. Unit arrived in two days via Fed Ex ground service, and as usual the packaging was ravaged. As per normal for me, I took pictures of the box before I even moved it. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised that the pieces were packed well and nothing was damaged.Assembly. Okay, if you have built furniture and other similar pieces in the past, assembly should not be a huge challenge. The instructions are adequate but not detailed. Biggest issue I heard from other comments was to make sure you have the handles/players in correctly, correct order and correct direction...do it wrong you will need to take allot of the table apart to correct. It is not hard, just be aware and be careful. It is helpful to have a screw gun/drill with bits to make things go faster...they do give you an Allen wrench but....well....in a pinch it works but pack some patience! I would recommend the screw gun/drill, sets phillips bit, allen bit, and speed square (for making sure the legs are square with the table). I did not have to re-drill any pilot holes so I did not need to drill but other have stated differently.Overall the table is strong, sturdy and plays well. We are not "professionals" so it worked very well for our needs. We have had a few hours on it and nothing has come apart! ONLY downside is the screws that come with the side mounted cup holders barely screw into the wood. I had to use longer screws in order to properly attach them since the first time we used them, someone bumped into one of the holder and it came off easily. That is the only negative I have for this table.Some notes:- Finish is a photo finish that is adhered to the wood so be-careful not to get them wet. In the past, with my experiences, these eventually start to peel up on the ends/edges, so I have used contact cement to re-adhere. No biggie and I would not make this a reason not to buy, just be aware! Oh, DO NOT put tape on the finish since it may tear and lift off.if you try to remove the tape...not saying this table has does this, I am just not going to try it!!!- There is enough "slop" in how the legs attach to the table that If you are not careful the legs will be slightly crooked. I used a speed square to make sure the legs were "square" with the table as I tightened down.- Build time is an hour or less if you are familiar with this type of construction and assembly. I doubt this is a huge challenge for any person who has and experience with basic hand tools....really not that hard to assemble.- A second set of hands is helpful, but one person can do it.- You can assemble with a phillips screwdriver and the kit supplied allen wrench, but a screwgun with bits will make the job much easier.- Have fun! The table does what it is designed to do and if given proper care, should last a long time!

Table arrived pretty banged up but intact. Thankfully all of the pieces were included in a separate smaller box and were sealed inside of plastic bags. - Despite that, one of the 4 leg levelers was missing. I called the manufacturer and they were able to locate my order and refund me a small amount. - The missing piece looks like something easily replaced on Amazon for about the amount they refunded me. The table looks really good and is very stable. It is also easily dissembled when you need to move it as the legs are attached via hex bolts which are very sturdy when tightened down. The players have loosened a bit with play though you are able to tighten them again with a screwdriver - hopefully they won't strip the threading over time as they look to be attached to the bar with a simple wood screw.The only drawback is that the height is a little low so you have to hunch over a bit to play - definitely something that could be corrected with some risers

I wanted to add my 5 star review to the pile.Like many others, I feel this is a great foosball table for the price.It is definitely smaller than a standard table - which has it's advantages for fitting in a smaller room.That said, it has a good "feel" and you still get the standard experience of playing on a real table.A few things to note:- Assembly was easy - like many said, pay attention when putting the men on the first time- The men are NOT weighted, so they will not "stand up" by themselves. This is a minor annoyance when playing by yourself or 1-on-1 - but something to note if you are used to playing on a real table.- Also like many said, the floor is sloped toward the middle to keep the ball from getting stuck. This is good, but also makes it slightly difficult to pass the ball to other men.Finally, I wanted to note that were we missing a piece (one of the bars). Called the company, they shipped us a missing piece in DAYS, so that was NO PROBLEM. We were very happy with that.Overall, I honestly have no real complaints and would buy this again in a second. We've had the table about 1 week and probably already played HOURS on it as a family - so I could argue we've already gotten our money out of it. For the price, this is well worth it - I would definitely buy this if you are looking for a small 48" table that's a good value.
