My family loves this table and the neighborhood kids too!This foosball table is very heavy and is boxed inside of a shipping box which allowed it to arrive without damage. The assembly instructions were easy to follow, but trying to flip it upright without putting weight on the legs was a challenge for me and my seventeen year old son.The only issues with assembly came when the predrilled holes for the goals didn’t match up & the tubes wouldn’t stay attached as they were a bit short, even when stretched. So, I predrilled the holes for the goals & used black duct tape to secure the tubes properly.Overall, this is a heavy duty foosball table and was easy to assemble with clear instructions. I think it’s a good buy for the money & would have given 5 stars, but having to correct assembly issues only allows for 4 in my opinion.First of all, I had scheduled the assembly through Amazon in their only available slot, Christmas Eve. They did not show. If I had known I would have had someone else build it beforehand. Customer service regarding this was dismissive and clearly Amazon does not care. The table itself is nice once it’s assembled however one part had damaged wood, and you have to drill your own holes. I used a contractor because I couldn’t get it together.I paid a lot of money for this product to have a good time with my family over the summer, but I was forced to go to hell and back just to play a little foosball. To start, it took me and 3 other adults 7 plus hours to install the piece, and when it was finally done, the quality was so poor that handles keep falling out. The instructions are absolute trash, it specifically states on multiple areas that there is an instructional video, however, I can assure you that there is no such thing. The parts are extremely poor quality and were not manuctured properly; they barely fit in one another and the entire table is impossible to put together without power tools. The plastic players had defects to the point that I needed to buy a metal file just to create more space to be able to slide then on the metal poles. The top section of the table has rubber that's ripping off, which is clearly a defect, and when I opened the box, I noticed that someone had walked all over the cover with disgusting boots and just threw the cover in the box right after. The experience I had with this table was one I would want my greatest enemy to have. It is and was truly a disaster and 7 plus hours of my life were wasted on a piece of trash. Not to mention u was cut extremely badly on my hand trying to screw in the aluminum feet which were not polished in the company prior to shipping and are as shape as a scalpel. I better get my money back for this because I can't get back my time. I hope no one EVER buys this piece of garbage table. Please, spend a little more money and get something that's worth your while, because this is a complete and utter joke.Just received this about two weeks ago, so I can't speak much about durability yet, but this is exactly what we were looking for. I needed a sturdy outdoor table that can withstand the weather in the Carolinas as well as a bunch of boys and from what it looks like it should. It arrived quickly, was packaged well, the instructions however could have been a little better. It isn't too difficult, just takes time. Also make sure you're using the right parts, some are not marked as left versus right, but they are different.Since putting it together we have used it daily with 2-8 players using it and everyone loves it. There are a couple of dead spots, if the kids play a little slower, but overall the ball moves well (the bottom is made of glass), the handles don't stick at all and everyone has commented what a great deal this is. I had researched different outdoor football tables, but the ones with decent reviews were double as expensive. This company got great ratings for their other products, so even though I was hesitant to buy this one without any reviews on Amazon, I decided to give it a try and am not disappointed.My only negative is the free cover, it is not quite big enough to fit over the top part completely because of the handles. It almost fits, I can put it over all four corners, but it doesn't go underneath the table part completely, which I would have liked. But it was free and it's heavy duty, so I'm going to keep it for as long as it lasts and just have to pull it as far as it will go.I definitely recommend this football table to anyone looking for a sturdy outdoor one, I know we will get a lot of use out of it!We've been having fun with this Foosball Table. It took me about 2 hours to assemble. The directions weren't always clear and I did have to disassemble some of the rods after assembling because the players were facing the wrong direction. (My bad.) The "metal" corners and cross bars are actually plastic. All in all this was a fun purchase for our home ... I would not put it in a high use situation. Would I make this purchase again? Honestly, I would probably spend a bit more and get a higher quality table.
