Hathaway Fairmont 6 Ft Portable Pool Table, Adults Folding Billiards Tables for Game Room with Easy Foldable Storage, Includes Full Set of Billiard Balls, Cues, Chalk & Brush

I bought this table 6 years ago for my townhouse basement. I needed something small enough for the space that I could take out of my apartment when I moved out. Haven't moved out yet but the table is still going strong.Felt is still in great shape, hasn't torn or pulled whatsoever. The pocket nets stretched out over time so the ball stacking issue resolved itself. The adjustable feet eventually popped inside the leg after a few years so we replaced those with new ones easily enough for like $15 or something like that. The sticks are cheap but I had my own. And they're the perfect size and weight for kids to learn how to play.The board was never fully level, balls slope towards the pockets, specifically the side ones. But honestly, I think it just makes the game more fun. This is more like an old pub table instead of a professional pool table so set your bar lower. It is MDF not slate, you get what you buy. For the price I paid, I absolutely love this table. The tables flaws add to it being kind of a chaos game, unpredictable and delightful. Still very happy with this purchase and my basement.

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!

I'm an avid pool player and like to play in pool halls. After moving to a small town without any tables, this was a great little budget buy to get me by for a while. I'll break this down in sections for anyone who might want detailed info on this item.The cloth: The cloth is cheap. Plain and simple. Its like that cheap felt you get on tiny little kid tables. It isn't fast, it burns incredibly easy so use a little piece of spare cloth or a protector of some type if you want this to last a long time. I could imagine the table can be re-clothed but you'd end up needing to pry the sides of the table up from the playing surface and then nail it back in on your own. For how much this table costs and how much good cloth costs, it just wouldn't be worth the struggle. Use clothing iron and run it over the surface if you really want to try to improve the cloth.The playing surface: The MDF wood is pretty solid. The table I got wasn't warped in any way but it is very easy to bend the table slightly when carrying it around and setting it up. So be careful. The leveling system on the legs didn't need a ton of adjusting on my table. But it could be different for yours. Like I said earlier, this table is very slow. What you'd normally get as a 4 railer will now only bounce maybe 3 rails. The thicker cloth combined with non slate surface just doesn't make it roll as well as a slate table. So don't expect tournament quality play here. It is firm enough for some shorter jump shots if that's your style. It can work, you just need to really be precise. Oh and the cloth burns every time you try a jump so use a protector if you can.The rails: The rails are (like everything else) very slow. They don't quite kick things off as quickly and bank shots require some figuring out. Firm fast banks almost always straighten out regardless of english. Slow bank shots do perform as expected but you need to find the angles on these rails. Breaks don't scatter as much just because of the rails not bouncing them off as a nice k66 rail would.The equipment: I already have some of my own stuff like cues, balls, racks etc. So I don't even use the supplied equipment. The stuff that comes with this table is complete garbage. The balls aren't super noticeable if you don't know what you're looking for but if you know your stuff and want a better roll, get better balls. Even just a $50 set of lower end aramith balls will make a big difference. The cues come with less than a 1/4" of tip on them and the tip needs to be shaped quite a bit to make the cues playable. They weren't really warped though which was a nice surprise! The chalk is a joke and hardly stays on for longer than 2 shots. Master chalk is king.To summarize, although this is a very cheap table and constructed not so well, it does make a great little practice table for the house. Sure you won't be becoming the next SVB but you'll have something to test your stroke, work on some 9/10 ball run outs and get your game in shape. Your shot speed will be completely off when you finally make it to a real table but again... this table is something to get you by at home without spending $5k on a slate table. Not to mention its small enough to fit in most living rooms and you can even use a full size cue for the most part. If you don't have a lot of space and just want something to fiddle around on day to day, this is it. Again, I'm an avid player, I know my stuff (for the most part) and I was pleasantly surprised by this table. My expectations were low and they were met/exceeded. If you buy this for kids, just make sure they know how delicate a pool table can be in terms of cloth and warping. I can see this thing lasting at least 5 to 10 years with proper care.
