Multi-game sports table

By Tangotiger, 12:07 PM

We already have an air hockey table, but I was looking for a multi-game table that has foosball, billiards, pingpong, and whatever else I could get was a bonus.  At Target, they had the 16-in-1 Sportcraft which I bought on Black Friday for 90$ prior to reading the reviewsWal-Mart seems to have a competitor as well.  If I get my money’s worth, I’m happy: I’m just looking for something that I can play with my kid, without spending too much money, knowing that he’ll be bored with it at some point.  But, those reviews makes it seem that even at that price, it may not have been worth it.

Anyway, if you guys have some recommendations for multi-use tables (foosball, billiards, pingpong at least), I’d love to hear it, before I spend any time putting the Sportcraft one together.

The table is rather ugly looking. The Olympian 15 in 1 table is $30 more, but it did get better reviews. Although only 2 people reviewed it. At least there were no comments about the table falling apart or breaking like there was with the Sportcraft model. I would go with the Olympian table.

Did you put the table together? I would probably just stick with the table that you bought. I wouldn’t be all that discouraged by a couple of bad reviews.

No, I haven’t put it together yet.  We are probably going to do some renovations, and I’ll wait until those are done before putting the table together.
