Perfect if no permanent space

Bought this on a drunk shopping spree, but not disappointed. The first shipment was sent back due to damage and we were not giving an option of replacing. We just got an automatic refund. So we ordered again and not disappointed. It’s sturdy and great if you don’t have a permanent space, but can move stuff when want to play. Easy to assemble.

Did its job

I purchased this for its “portability” however its extremely heavy. I definitely needed 2 people to move it, But the legs are sturdy and so is the table part. The pool sticks cap broke instantly so you may wanna purchase some others. I bought this for a party for my sons birthday, and I am sure that will be the last time I use it at least for a while.

It arrived completely intact with no damage!

I’ve been playing pool for fun as long as I can remember. It all started back in highschool after graduating and attending college I would go to bars with the girls to hang out and on dates with guys, playing pool was always a great conversation starter. Once we bought our home, I envisioned a bar with a game room. Well I must admit I’m impressed. I haven’t played on it yet, so I cannot speak to that… But it looks great. I’m sure everyone in the house and all our guest will enjoy this beauty.

Slow and poor shipping

Overall, we love the table. It fits perfect in the small area we wanted it. It is heavy and seems very sturdy so far. My only complaint is with the shipping company. It arrived a week after the expected delivery date and arrived with some minor damage. The box was all but destroyed and the table had some dents and scratches.

Great pool table; lots of fun…

A few factors will come into play when deciding if to get a pool table and what kind to get. If you are considering this one it is likely because of size. We could fit a regulation size pool table in our basement, but then we lose the ability to do other things and this table is a great compromise. This pool table is larger than the really small (lesser quality) portable ones, but smaller than regulation size, yet still gives a fun pool experience. The quality is very good for what you are paying. The cushions may not be as true as a regulation table, but it good enough for us. The pool cues are good for the kids, but if adults are playing I suggest getting larger ones. As for the balls, we opted to buy a smaller size set (1-7/8″) for use on this board. As others have mentioned, the full size balls that come with it create more congestion on the smaller table. Proportionally to the table, I don’t even notice they are not regulation size and enjoy the smaller ones more. While the table is portable and not too heavy, it is not light enough for one person to move. You do need two people. Delivery was right on time and no issues with the delivery company, though I know this can vary.If you are looking for a smaller, somewhat portable pool table, this is a great buy. Not too expensive, and very good quality.

Good size for medium to small areas.

Table was inside delivery early in the day. Time frame given was 8am – 8pm but at noon the delivery guys showed up which was perfect. This table is ready to use – no assembly necessary and it looks very good. Firm and good quality. May be a bit heavy for one person to stand it up! My kids are happy – I am happy with this purchase!

Corner pocket screw was broken when unboxed. Pics in details.

Pool table is good. Nice and firm. Just corner pocket is not down due to screw being broken from the steel corner.

Ready to play right out of the box

This table is even better than I expected and ready to play right out of the box. The condition of the table is perfect and the surface level so we didn’t need to do any adjusting. It’s nice and sturdy and can easily handle us leaning on it to made more difficult shots. The only down side for us is the weight of the table, but we expected that. It took 3 of us to bring it into the house and even then we barely made it (granted, none of us are very strong), but other than that we love it.

Not bad at all for the price

Got this for my the basement of my new home and it fits and works perfect! I was skeptical but it came on time with no issues. I’m no pro so I don’t ask for much but it’s a decent size for me and sturdy. Tiniest bit unleveled at one side of the table where the ball rolls a little bit to the edge but it’s not too bad and doesn’t happen on the whole edge. Works great for me and about $500-800 cheaper than buying a real table which wouldn’t fit in my basement anyways. Cues are just ok, got regular 58” to use which works way better. The price was worth it, for me at least.

Great table

Regulation sized balls. Fold down legs are sturdy and can be adjusted for leveling. Table is wood and not slate so it’s not a perfect roll but for a wooden surface it’s great for the price. The cue sticks are not great. Lightweight and one was too warped to use. I was buying a quality cue stick already so no big deal.

Wow; Really nice pool table!

Wow. A really nice pool table. I was looking for a nice 6-foot table that could fit in my living room. This one fits perfectly. It’s big enough to operate similar to a full-size table without taking up a lot of space. Received it via UPS Freight. Shipped in a box strapped onto a pallet. Driver was careful taking it off the truck and using the pallet jack to get it into my garage. I was able to move it myself from the garage to the room I wanted it in with minor work. It’s definitely heavy. Not too heavy, though; Estimate it at about 100 to 120 lbs. Would recommend two people to move it because that can make the move much faster. It was packaged well and there was no damage. Comes assembled. I just had to unfold the legs and stand it up. Didn’t even have to level it; Balls roll/play just fine. Table also plays good. Corners/cushions have just enough bounce, so it plays pretty much like a full size table. It looks great in the room and feels sturdy. Balls are regulation size. Cue sticks are a bit light and short, but for the room I have them in, the length of the sticks are perfect. Can use pro-level cue sticks on the table just fine. Definitely worth the price. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a compact size table with full-size features.

Easy set up and a fun table.

I nice table for the price. It’s a nice size. Just big enough that you don’t feel like you’re playing on a child’s toy but small enough to fit in my little basement with enough room to play all around it.Now this is not a high quality table. But for the price and to just play around on it’s very good.It came very well packaged. About 1/4 of the shipping weight was packaging. Even though the outside box was a little damaged during shipping, the inside box was is good condition and there was no damage to the table at all.Once we got the boxes opened and got to the table, set up couldn’t have been easier. Just open the legs and flip it upright. I’m a small 110lb woman and my daughter and I were able to carry the table from where we flipped it out of the box to where we wanted it with no problem. With just a couple of turns of the leveling screws on the bottom of the legs it was done and ready to play.We really have a good time with this little table. I don’t have the room nor the money for a full size table so this is just great~

Great Decision

I’m a happy camper. The plan/dream has been and continues to be a man cave with an 8′ slate and no obstructions. That will require a major house addition / remodeling. Doable and on the list, but not for years and I’ve been jonesing to play pool NOW.For now this table is great and fits the bill perfectly. It’s absolutely, positively playing real pool. Not a toy and far superior to many bar tables I’ve played on.I’m enjoying it completely. In addition to all the positive reviews I did a simulation. I found that my dining room table was almost the exact dimensions as this table. I had a cue and 3 tennis balls and decided the size would be fine. No chance of clearing the table on every rack. Plenty challenging. Turns out the simulation was accurate. 5′ is still “lots of blue” long shots.A few notes:1) I would NOT get 1 7/8″ balls as suggested. The regulation balls that come with the table are fine. It only gets crowded when the break is not up to snuff. But that’s true on any pool table.2) DEFINITELY plan on getting decent full-size / regulations cues. If you’ll have obstruction issues, the shorty (48″) cues supplied work but are of very poor quality. I DO plan on getting better short cues.3) “Portable” is relative. At close to 200#’s plan on 2 people. I managed to get it in the house and set-up solo. But I don’t think it’s coming down and getting put away anytime soon:) Both because I can’t and because I’m now addicted to shooting pool. It’s that much fun.4) Bumpers are slow, but that hasn’t kept me from making some pretty cool bank shots (mostly luck).5) My research suggest that you “NEVER USE A VACUUM” on any table. (It can suck up the felt). Just use the brush and / or invest in a better brush.6) The supplied rack is fine.

Good pool table, needs center support!

Got this couple of weeks ago. Easy to setup, really easy to level: each leg has adjustable screws to level the table. The table looks really good, doesn’t feel cheap and comes with all the accessories. A carrying bag is also included which is nice, in case you need to store it or move it, also the way the bag is made, you can use it to cover the table when not playing. When I got the table, checked the playing surface and it was perfectly straight, no caves in etc. But, this weekend when playing noticed that the balls were kind off rolling towards the middle. Upon inspection, ran a tiny rope diagonally and realized that middle of the table caved in a little, creating a lower area right in the center (check the picture). As you see in the pictures attached the playing area is kept straight by an aluminum bar, which in my opinion is not enough. To fix the problem I’ve used a pole from the hardware store (need to paint it in black) to add additional support to the middle of the table. That worked and playing area is straight again. Wish the manufacture had that center support right out of the box, that is why 4 stars only.But, for the price it is a good table to practice and have fun with friends!!!

Decent pool table, but has a few flaws

As a long time pool (league) player and with the pandemic keeping me away from bars and pool halls I decided to buy this table so that I can move it out of the way when needed. I have limited space so a full table was never an option for my place.First impressions: overall, the table is great and enjoyable to play on. After a handful of games I quickly realized that the chrome caps are a pretty terrible design as the overhead lighting reflects off of them and often blinds me while taking a shot near the corners. I plan to either wrap the corners or hit them with a scotchguard pad to make them have a brushed look to dull them from light reflection. The plastic pockets are pretty cheap and not properly shaped (balls can easily pop out of the side pockets). The pockets and a few areas under the table have very sharp edges, which myself and a few friends ended up getting cuts from. I had to take a file to several of the plastic pockets and to a few areas underneath the table, to prevent people’s hands from getting cut up. The table rolls decent but these is a noticeable issue where the balls fall to the rails and often into the pocket when they shouldn’t. It seems like the framing underneath is the issue with this and I don’t see any easy way to correct it without taking the table apart, which I’m not going to do. Hopefully this table will last without having the top warp or the felt coming loose. The felt seems decent but marks very easily and needs frequent brushing.I bought mine for around $330 which was a good deal, but I see it has jumped to $400+ now. I’ve played about 300+ games so far on in and wanted to do so before giving a full review.

Way better quality than I expected.

I wanted a decent pool table but was limited in space. I believe I could fit a 7ft table but it was going to be close at best. I looked at the 6ft table and knew some compromises would be made. I received the table today and there are some limitations but at my skill(poor) level it plays well. I did go out and purchase some better sticks. I consider that a must because the included sticks are pretty bad.The proportions of the full-size balls and the smaller table look odd. I was expecting the rails to be dead but they are decent. They are not pro-level by any shot but playable. I had read all the reviews about the non-slate table being crowned. Mine is crowned very slightly. Not enough to affect my game but if you play a lot of pool it may bother you.I am not a knowledgeable pool player to give a serious review but my non-pro review says I like this table and would recommend it to any non-serious player.

Solid overall value

No assembly was required, and the table was in good condition out of the box. It’s exactly what was expected. I have been enjoying with my 9-year-old in our garage. One thing to note is that the table is fairly heavy. So, you’ll need two adults to fold up and move the table. Otherwise, no concerns.

Great for casual games, but some gravity wells

We seriously love this little table for lots of reasons, including its small footprint, its nice look, the soft table material that balls easily glide over, the easiest assembly possible (and decent portability for 2 people), and the quality balls it comes with. There are some caveats to our satisfaction though:As others have stated, the cues it comes with are readily replaceable because they are mere toys – very small, warped / not straight, and with hard tips; but, this is not a point of contention because I didn’t even expect to get cues with the table anyway and its at least a goodwill gesture from the company. Also, the plastic cups that the pocket bags are attached to have a strange curved lip that will sometimes bounce your ball back up and onto the table after you have legit hit it in – but these can be reshaped with a utility knife. The only real downside to the table that isn’t really fixable, which is why my headline says it’s for casual (not betting) games, is that there are slight gravity wells here and there which may differ by each table. On ours, there are a couple and they are somewhat near the pockets. It causes your ball to sometimes curve instead of go straight, which can be super frustrating if you are certain you would have made it in.Caveats aside, the table is super fun to play on and great for the price point. We have played hundreds of games on it now with lots of friends and most everyone seems happy with the games (no real complaining about said gravity wells, e.g.). Get one!

Pretty good!

Overall its pretty good. Like most reviews Ill prob say the same stuff… Its my first day having it btw…Likes : looks great, its sturdy, I like the way the top of the rails feel and the size of them, Balls are good, great for my space (live in a 2nd story apartment), and will be nice for this “stay at home” period right now and the future, Arrived early with no damage, pockets are cheap but do the job; no issues there, overall pretty good.Dislikes : cues are crap (no biggie to me, have a few of my own), rails are very stiff when you lag or just hit the rails – no “regular” bounce to them, table is not very level (balls do tend to curve toward pockets) I don’t think that’s really fixable but its not crazy bad – kinda used to that from bar tables anyways, felt is pretty cheap (first day have marks/dents in felt due to a regular break), also slow felt but I’m used to that fast felt they put on diamond tables or way overused bar tables – that might get better with use.I bought it for practice and just to be able to hit some balls around due to league being cancelled for a while, and could not buy a bigger/more expensive table due to where I live. It will serve that purpose and I’m pretty sure I can sell it for around $200 or so after I’m done with it. That being said def worth the money and time invested to lug upstairs (def should have had another person to help, I got it up, but scraped the side a bit because I had to take it out of the box to slide up metal stairs) oh well that’s my fault – still pretty solid on the top and sides of the table itself. The balls bank pretty good (might be due to the uneven table and balls tend to curve into pockets, but that’s ok. Pretty decent size as far as able to practice cut shots from decent distance (of coarse still smaller than bar table, but doesn’t feel too small as to have a toy/kids table feel). Ive only played 9 ball so far since I think 8 ball might be cramped like previous reviews have said, whatever, I have no intention of buying smaller balls for that reason, the ones that is came with are pretty decent. hope this review helps!

Hold up over time

Surprisingly sturdy. Basically comes set up. Felt and bumpers are good. Cues aren’t standard length. Balls and accessories are good.Only complaint is crowned table. Expect MDF to sag over time, but came out of the box slightly warped. After less than a month, a touch shot will drift six inches to either side. Can only roll the ball straight down the middle third of the table.

Perfect

We love this pool table so much. We have a bit of a smaller room for it, fits great in our space.
