Side by Side Comparison of: Triumph Sports vs Playcraft Sport vs Atomic vs Amazon

A little hard to put together but kids love it. Play with it all the time. Ages 11 and 7.

it's a little smaller than we thought, but kids LOVE it and it seems to be sturdy.

awesome!!

Great product!

Great pool table for the price. But you need two people to put together. A lot of pieces. It's. A heavy table.

Our grandkids really enjoyed this game table for Christmas!!They went so far to say it was the best gift they had this year!It wasn't too hard to put together either,really heavy duty good quality I'm sure it'll last for years!! Thanks again amazon.com!!!!

Great quality! Make sure you place it in the room where you want it to stay. Does not fit through doorways once assembled and it takes a lot of time to put the table together. Love this product!

Assembly went well, no missing parts and everything fit where it should. Good quality, nice size and price.

Fairly easy install. 3 hour, one person, and three stiffs drinks. Quality seems par for $140 sale price. I would definitely recommend it for kids 12 and under.

It has adjustable legs so that the younger group can play it as well as the taller adults. It was a great hit for Christmas.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 10 and 7 yr. old nephews. They love it...and so does their dad, uncle, and every other male in the family. It's a good size and very attractive. In other words, it's not too big or too small and it looks nice enough to leave out in the family room or some other area. I'm very pleased with the quality and the look.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for the grandkids and they love this- very sturdy and attractive- they are having a great time playing it !!

The table was what we expected. It arrived in the manufacturer box and was a little "dinged" up but no broken pieces. It was purchased for teens and so far has been lots of fun.

We love the table, however, the different parts or game parts were small and the covering is coming apart from the table. The tips of the pool sticks were missing and the Ping-Pong too small.

it was a gift for christman for the grandsons.

got this on Amazon warehouse cheap. it's not tip top, but it does work and both the pool and air hockey are good enough for younger kids. board was damaged in transit and triumph replaced the part at no cost - company is highly recommended.

Great item for the kids. So many games in one table. It's not quite "arcade" quality, but more than adequate for younger kids.

nice table for kids. My son is 6 yrs old and he cannot get close enough to see the ball on a regulation table. But with this, he ( and all of us ) are having a lot of fun. The table is low, so adults will be bending a little when playing. Not so good for folks with bad backs. Table is light, so any rough play will move it, but absolutely fine with kids once they know what not to do. All parts were present and no damages.product can definitely be improved though. but might increase the cost as well.

Son and husband love this item. It is very entertaining. Great for 10 year old, he is not a fan of toys anyway. I did read reviews prior to buying related to the parts. Which at times we have to continue to put knobs on the bars that come off at times. When the ball enters the cubby after you score sometime you have to search for it, I wish it was higher up and comes right to the spot to retrieve the ball. I guess it is not that big of a deal, especially when your losing. LOL! We have fun as a family with this table, despite the parts issue, its a nice table, easy to entertain adults and kids, its fun. We have our music and play the game.

This table was exactly what I expected. It is sturdy, colorful, and works well. My grandchildren like it very much. However, whoever thought that pictures are enough directions to put it together are sorely mistaken. Oh, yes, there are written directions, but they are in Chinese. I took English in school. I am so stupid. It took a longer time than it should have to figure out where all the pieces went and in what order, but I must say I am very pleased with the finished product. And all the parts were there!

Alright, guys. I was a little nervous to order this table after reading some of the reviews, but I pulled the trigger when it came up as a lightening deal. I figured it was worth a shot. I will start by saying that I am not handy in any way, shape or form. I am, however, persistent. Yes, this beast took a long time to assemble--probably around 3 hours. I would wager that at least 1/3 of that time was spent trying to figure out the assembly instructions, and then undoing something I had misunderstood, but subsequently figured out and re-did correctly. So...for all of you parents waiting until your children are nestled snug in their beds on Christmas Eve to attempt assembly, this review will be my Christmas gift to you.First. When you unbox everything and sort the hardware, DO NOT PANIC when parts J and F appear to be missing, as mine were. I was thisclose to running to the hardware store, when I decided I had better look over the instructions one last time to make sure I wasn't missing anything else. Well, lo and behold, J and F were already attached to bar Z2. Whew, first disaster averted. Next, when installing Z2, make sure you don't forget to put a Z1 support underneath each rod.Next, when adding each side (DD), first tighten all screws only loosely. People having trouble with holes not lining up are most likely tightening their screws too soon. There needs to be a little bit of wiggle room in order to get all holes lining up correctly. Once you've got all screws secured in holes, THEN go back and tighten them while making sure that the floor (W) stays in its groove. If it seems like it is preventing the side pieces from attaching flush, then it is out of its track somewhere. Figure out where, and push it back into place. This is where it helps to have two people, but I did it by myself.When adding the legs. Don't be a dummy like me and freak out that the holes are totally misaligned. The legs do not install flush with the bottom of the floor. Lift them up for that "aha moment." The two holes in the legs with the sliver thingies around them (yes, that is a technical name) should line up with the long side of the table, and the hardware (I&G) should be screwed from outside the table. The single hole with no silver thingy around it should line up with the short side of the table, and the hardware (H&G) should be screwed from inside the table. Again, just get the screws in the holes for now. You want there to be a good amount of play in the frame so that you can easily align the holes in the side support pieces.Speaking of side support pieces. Install both X pieces before installing the A pieces. I can't remember why it didn't work to do it the other way around, but I do know that I had to undo and then redo the support pieces because I did them in the wrong order. Again, I can't stress this enough--do not fully tighten the support pieces until everything is in place.So once you've gotten your legs and support pieces attached, only then should you go back and tighten everything. My carpenter father-in-law taught me to tighten one corner first, then do the opposite one, and so on. I'm not sure how much that matters here, since the table does have adjustable feet. But it can't hurt to do things properly.Regarding the rods. When attaching the handles, slide them onto the end that has a hole very close to the end. Give the handle a few good downward bangs on a carpeted floor to make sure it's on there nice and tight. Friction is the only thing holding it on, so you'll want to make sure you've gotten it on as snugly as possible. Make sure to slide the rod through one hole before adding your men. Seems like a no-brainer, but the instructions do not specify. I did not make this error (surprisingly), but another reviewer did, so I thought it worth mentioning.When reading the assembly instructions for the men, pay attention to which direction they're facing. It is subtle, but you can very vaguely notice a front/back to them if you look closely. The screw goes in through the belly, and the nut goes in the back.Final thoughts on assembly. Anyone requiring additional tools to accomplish this assembly either got a dud or is doing it wrong. Also, anyone complaining about the rods "bending too easily" is either putting too much weight on them or is picking up the table by the handles. I can't imagine that they will bend with regular normal use. They are not even remotely bendy when holding them in my hands. When assembled correctly, this is a very solid little table. It does not wobble, teeter, tip or bend. Yes, it is made of particle board, and no, I was not expecting anything more for the price.My biggest complaint is that the holes in the black plastic end caps (BA/BB) do not go all the way through the plastic. Thankfully, this does not affect the function/assembly of the piece. I plan to contact the manufacturer to have replacement end caps sent out. In the meantime, I know that my little guy will enjoy his new toy!So, there. I just saved you probably at least an hour, and your sanity. Which, this close to Christmas, let's face it. You don't have much of it left to lose at this point. You're welcome.

It took 3 hours to assemble the game which is OK. A drill motor with phillips bit helped move the assembly along. The slots for the table top did not match-up so I had to cut the slots a little wider with my skill saw to allow the table top to slide completely into the slots. Once I corrected the problem with the slot the table assembled easily. The last steps are to assemble the rods with the men in the table top. I am missing one part, the 1/2" foam bumper Item L in the directions, that I will now have to figure out how to get it replaced. There are no telephone numbers on the assembly instructions to call to get replacement parts. There are no comments in the instructions about leveling the table nor how to play the game though I can google this. Otherwise it looks like it will be fun for my grandson and me to play.Update: I found the Playcraft web site and was able to notify them of the missing part. They communicated well via email and I received the part today. It took about 2 weeks to get the part. They seem to be a reputable company who I would do business with again.

We really enjoy this table, its fun, solid, and the right size for a family room. I took off one star because it took me 3 hours to assemble without any power tools. Granted I am slow at building stuff but there are a lot of screws and each man needs to be attached.The pluses are its great table once assembled. Heavy solid table. The instructions are only 5 pages, and that's all you need, it is simple to put together. Its a fun table and my entire family enjoys playing a quick game on it.Cons:Assembly time, standard foosballs are bit big to fit through the kick off opening, but they do go in. Balls occasionally get stuck in the net and require tilting table. Ball removal hole at the end of table is made for kids hands.If would recommend this table to anyone looking for an affordable high quality table. I don't think you can beat the price. Just make sure you have a power screw driver when you attempt to build this...UPDATE:I consider this table a gateway drug. I LOVE playing the kids in Foosball. I used to play a lot in college on regulation tables, and I notice the differences but for the size and the price you really can not beat this table. One other note, we sometimes have injury time outs because the screw will come loose from the players. That's my fault so not really a knock, but you should consider some type of loctite for the men.

Birthday gift for my son. Came bent in the corner and piece broken. He still enjoyed it.

Very cheaply made.

not what I expected.

We bought this for our 6 and 4 year old for Christmas. The problem is that it was missing two entire sets of screws. We contacted the manufacturer and never received a response. Thankfully we were able to purchase the screws at home depot. Once the table was set up, my kids love it! The air hockey works great. They haven't played anything else so far.

Not able to review - we were not able to use the product due to shipping issues.

Not bad. The ping pong/football table was cracked when I received it, but they're almost useless anyway. Too small for ping pong and the football game is lame. The air hockey and pool tables are a lot of fun for our 8 year old.

The kids love it, they are 8 & 11. For adults it is too short, it has adjustable legs but only about 2 inches. The handles pop off or slip occasionally. Still a great table but more suitable for young children once they are in their teen years there are better options out there, I wish I would have bought a full size table.Looks are great and fun!

Our foosball table arrived damaged. The directions aren't very helpful either but we managed to assemble the table. I have a 5-year-old and an 8-year-old...they love the table.

When I got the table and put it together I was missing one of the men. I had to special order it. I like the table. Just upset I can't play it until this piece arrives.

A few hours to assemble. Finish does not so great. You would be disappointed If you played on other tables before - make sure that you want this thing or just spend more money to buy an appropriate quality table. That's what you get when you buying a cheap product. In the beginning(as I assembled it) I would give one star for it. Now I'm almost Ok. Price < = > quality. Lesson learned.

Overall solid once build and good size for younger kids. IMHO overall quality is moderate at best. Assembly was difficult, and similar to another reviewer it took me a little over 3 hours. The instructions are essentially hieroglyphics and no words so interpretation was tricky. The playing surface curves towards the middle from each goal and aligning it in its grooves was very challenging. The handles that turn the rods come off easily with play and the protective end caps were very difficult to get on (they seem to want to stay on though so that's a plus). I also worry that the screws holding the players onto the rods will loosen with play; yes they can be tightened but that goes back to overall quality. Also there are no springs on the sides of the player rods as seen with higher end models; just foam washers sandwiched between plastic ones.

As others have stated - putting it together is frustrating. Be prepared to do some simple modifications and know that this is an entry level child's table.With that said - it suits it's purpose and the kids enjoy immensely.

made very cheap

Product was missing screws, most screw holes were stripped out.

Honestly the hockey doesn't work and the pool it dirty with marks it sucks the pool sticks came apart and the hockey was HOT GLUDED no no wonder it doesn't work and it just very small do not recomend although its fun for my two younger brothers I don't think it should be that much but if u want something for kind under 10 its great

Package and product came damaged and air hockey wasnt quite what i was expecting. The air works good but the way it catches the puck is alittle sub par. It doesnt drop into a slot but rather catches it between a piece of felt and the table top.

This table is cheaply made and the parts are very small. The hockey puck doesn't go in to a pocket for scoring. Plastic pieces are already cracking after the first few uses. I bought a similar table at toys r us years ago and the quality was so much nicer than this one.

Very difficult to put together. Ambiguous intructions and not everything was labeled.

the foosball table arrived and we didn't unpack it for several weeks because it was a Christmas present. Once I got around to assembling it we found that the green board that is the playing field surface had a huge puncture in it. so we were very disappointed and I could not figure out how to contact the seller to get it replaced.

ordered red one but completely different color version arrived, otherwise seems okay.

I'm sitting here in hour two doing part 1 of the install (yeah, I'm still on part 1)...still, because the stupid screws don't align with the slats for to place the actual game board/playing field and there's no way to slide it in properly and I don't exactly have a saw like someone else who reviewed this did to rectify that issue.I'm so confused that no one else is describing this issue. Did I get a bad game, or is this something everyone else here has worked around?! Regardless, we two adults working on this together are wasting way too much time on this!I hope we'll figure it out in time and it will work and we'll have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. But right now, my first impression is..."meh."

1 piece was missing ! Impossible to play !!! Huge disappointement...

Read reviews and decided to buy this for 12 y/o grandson who loves playing. My son and husband spent way more time putting this together than expected and had to glue table pieces together to make up for flimsiness. Directions not intuitive. (I would NEVER have figured out the instructions myself.) Attaching players on rods was very time consuming.Rubber tips and handles constantly come off rods while playing which certainly disrupts the game. Not sure if glue will help that problem. Table looks pretty nice now that it is finished but not impressed with it. And since I bought it a few weeks ago, price has gone down significantly.

Product was damaged beyond use when we received it.

was delivered in a wet crate that caused the surface to peel and the package was dropped broke the corners loose. I did not have time to return the item because I was out of town and had to fix it my self for a Christmas gift. I do not recommend buying from the customer

When the package arrived it appeared to have been thrown off of at least one truck and onto the ground. When we opened the box it entire table was broken. Split completely in two on one side and the "pool table" also was fractured. The siding on the legs was peeled off. All said it's a giant piece of crap and I can't wait to get my money back.

Terrible damaged huge hole thru the entire games an box!!!! Cannot use box to ship it back!!!!!! And very thin product would not recommend!!!!!!!!

i ordered this as a Christmas gift for my son. When we put it together on Christmas eve it was missing several parts including the locks that stop the table from turning over while playing. Also the laminate was peeling off in some spots. He is 4 and didn't understand why Santa brought him a broken toy.

I wish it could say different. However, when the box got to us it was decimated. The insides didn't fare any better. The entire thing is made of pressed board (not a shocker) and the majority of them were split or screwed incorrectly.

To start with its a damaged product. couple of rods are bent, so it acts funny while playing. One screw is missing and the cover paper is torn in few places. I spent few hours in assembling, and i don't have few more hours to dismantle it. So i am forced to keep.I wouldn't suggest the product to anyone.

Way too small and board have too many dead spots. The figures need to be bigger(longer) to hit the ball when ball stop in middle! Very loose handles cover.

Item was broken and damaged inside. Very low quality

If you want a miniature table for midgets to play on then this table is for you.

I can't even get the second step together. The "e" screws don t fit!!

missing parts and very labor intensive to assemble.
