The Fashionable Foosball Table

This is the foosball table built with an expert blend of solid playability and symmetrical fashion that imparts an industrial-inspired furniture quality to a recreation room. It is crafted with cerused oak exterior veneer panels that blend tastefully with riveted steel corner reinforcements and the laminated black hardboard pitch and compostite wood boundary walls that form its interior playing field—construction that exceeds the entry-level quality of widely abundant, warp-prone consumer models made from particle board. Every inch of metal—save for the screws that affix each molded-resin monochrome-contrasted player to its control rod—is painted in glossy black, eschewing the garish unsightliness of flimsy tubular metal support legs common to models better-suited to an unkempt garage. The table rests atop two crossbraces made from square-sectioned steel, each of which terminate in a welded flange that bolts solidly to oaken floor slats braced at each end with riveted steel toecaps; slats conceal the table’s built-in levelers to ensure a flat playing surface. Eight control rods with wooden grips glide easily in their slots with cushioned bumpers to provide two or four players the fluid movement and rapid wrist-action required for traditional pull, push, and roll-over shots. With abacus scorekeeping. 57 3/4" L x 34 1/4" W x 32" H. (155 lbs.)
