Durability
The Playcraft Sport Foosball Table Model is a fast paced action foosball table that comes with a folding leg to allow for a compact fit. It is a 48 x 24 table that includes a handle that extends up to 18 inches, with the overall product listing at 68 lbs. It contains strong chromium steel rods for its legs with slide bearings for a smooth rotation, and it was quite heavier than some other foosball table models. It is not a professional style quality foosball table, so you shouldn’t expect it to be as durable as the more expensive tables available.
However, it could be a little sturdier in terms of its wood construction and plastic assembly pieces, but the overall design is compact and strong enough to withstand its size, especially since the product seems best suited for younger children.
Aesthetics
The Playcraft Sport Foosball Table comes with an athletic color scheme and soccer graphics leg panel design with leg spanners on each side. The table also comes with ball serve cups on both sides for convenience, ball retrieval at each goal, plastic manual slide scorers at each goal, ABS plastic corners, and chrome plated leg levelers. The model also comes with its folding legs for storage convenience.
Gameplay
The athletic and sports soccer and crowd graphics add to the fun and engaging gaming experience. The set includes 3 foosballs, although you can certainly buy more in separate packages, as well as a scoreboard. Its sturdy weight and functionality provides a realistic foosball gaming experience, although it is not of professional quality or regulation size. The smooth, fast-paced orientation of the game is expected and certainly makes it a good purchase for its price, considering that most of us buy foosball tables for the play aspect.
Assembly
One of the problems that comes along with the Playcraft Sport Foosball Table is its difficult assembly process and unclear set of instructions. The entire model must be assembled upon delivery, with a lot of parts to be put together. The box comes well packaged, however, despite its heavy weight. The instructions, on the other hand, prove to be poor and unclear to understand, making the assembly process a long and difficult one. Some pieces are tight and hard to assemble without having to squeeze them into place. Once the assembly is complete, however, the table does look well put together and good-sized especially for its price. It also comes with a folding mechanism that makes it easy to store and save space when the table isn’t being used.
One issue that seems to come up is the height of the table. While a good height for young kids playing the game, it proves to be rather short for adults who find themselves having to bend over to play. It is a more inexpensive table though, and to find an all-encompassing table suited towards adults you may have to search through higher priced items.
Who's It For?
While anyone can enjoy the foosball table, this particular table is definitely best suited for young children because of its inexpensive, small-sized structure. The table does include small foosballs, so it’s advisable to keep children under the age of 3 years old away. If you’re looking for a decent table for an economical price for young children between the ages of 7-12, although it is definitely suitable for older kids as well.
