GoSports Mid-Size 6ft x 3.5ft Billiards Game Table - Foldable Design, Includes Full Set of Pool Balls, 2 Cue Sticks, Chalk, and Felt Brush

After reading and watching multiple reviews, I decided to take a chance on this table. We opted for the 6-ft variant (blue) because our basement has limited access due to an unfortunate stairwell design (somewhat narrow main-level hallway, with limited ability to turn into the stairwell, plus a 90-degree turn at a landing 3/4 of the way down). I spent some time measuring things out, and I felt about 95% sure I could get the 7-ft table into the basement, but short of building a mock-up, there was no way to be sure it would fit. I didn't want or need the extra stress in my life, so I just opted for the 6-ft table instead. I also considered a few other 6-ft tables, but they all had non-regulation (smaller) balls, which I did not want. It is quite heavy, as expected, but my son and I got it into the basement without much fuss. Setup was extremely simple - the hardest part was picking up styrofoam bits and hauling out the box. As other reviews have noted, it is surprisingly sturdy. I was sort of expecting this, based on those reviews, but I was still a bit surprised to find that it's true. Granted, it's NOT as solid as a well-built, wood-framed, slate table. But I would hope that's easily understood. If you use a few of your core muscles and avoid leaning on the table, I would expect it to last a very long time. However, if you routinely lean on it while setting up for and taking shots, I would expect it to become a bit wobbly over time. My children are 14 - 19, and I'm not really worried about them using it at all. That said, thinking back to when they were 5 - 10, I think they would probably have been hard on it... So long as you come into it with realistic expectations, I think you'll be satisfied with the build quality. The playing surface is very flat, as others have noted, so the balls do NOT tend to wander around or dip to low spots. I've played on several wood-top tables, and this is the first one that does NOT have low/high spots. Very pleased by this. We've been playing on it for a few weeks now, maybe up to an hour per day as an average. It is definitely a bit of a slow table, but I'm hopeful it speeds up a bit, as others have experienced. On the suggestion of others, we purchased a "real" table brush for $15, and it's been well worth it. The typical "burn" marks from normal play are easily brushed out, making the surface look generally new with very little effort. Definitely worth the money for the extra brush. The cues that come with it are light - no surprise - but they seem to be generally straight and true. They play well enough that I'm not worried about getting others. I am definitely a novice player, with very limited cue ball control abilities, but I've been pleased with how well the table plays, overall. If you're a league player, I would imagine you would find it to be a noticeable downgrade from a tournament-quality table. However, it most definitely does NOT feel like a toy. It feels like a "real" (albeit low-cost) pool table to everyone in our family, and it's been a lot of fun for all of us to play on. I'm glad we purchased it, and I'm expecting to continue enjoying it for at least a few more years.

I got the 6 foot one with the blue cloth. It arrived in a good size box truck, and must of been pretty secured since the box it came in had hardly any damage to it. The table had zero damage to it but they forgot to fasten one of the plastic pocket covers to one of the side pockets, but two little finishing nails that I already had fixed that. As for how it plays. Its not a slate table. If you buy this realizing that you are not getting a slate table, it plays just fine. The cloth speed is good, the rails work just fine, I am still able to make the same bank shots that I have made for years on a normal table with zero problems. For English. It seems to react about the same as all the coin-op bar tables I have played on. Your not going to masse the cue ball around like you would on a real slate table with good felt. You can masse enough to get around the side of a ball as long as its not a sharp turn. Your not going to be using draw and pulling the cue ball back across the table, or using follow and expecting the ball to go and extra rail or two. Leveling. My top was pretty level, and after adjusting the legs, it is pretty close to perfect. Again its not slate and there is no fine tuning with shims to get a 100% level surface. The "portable" part. The table probably weights 150lbs or so. I'm a ok sized dude at 6 ft 277lbs and I can move it and carry it around on my own, but if you have a buddy I suggest you ask for help. Things I don't like. 1 The legs locks rattle when ever a ball hits the rail. I'm sure that's an easy fix with tape, or a magnet, or what ever, but it is annoying. 2 Getting balls out of the pockets. I find my self grabbing the bottom of the pockets and squeezing to force the balls up because my hand are a tad to big to reach in the pockets and grab the balls and pull them out comfortably. The stuff it comes with. The cues are junk. The rack is junk. Chalk is junk. The balls are good enough and ok for what they are but I will probably replace. Overall. If you do not have the room for a 8 or 9 foot table or the money to buy a $5,000 6 foot slate table I would get one of these. If you do have room for a full size table and friends to help you, I would find one on Facebook or Craigslist and take it apart and move it. It's not that hard to do yourself if you have friends. If you don't have room for a full size but have the money, get a 6 foot slate one. I'm no pool pro but I have been playing for over 25 years. I have owned slate tables, slatron tables, and now this. I hope this review helps people.

I’m quite pleased with this pool table. I got the 6 ft. size even though I was on the fence about going slightly bigger to have something closer to a regulation size table, but I have found it’s easy to under estimate how much room is needed for even a small table like this. Do some research. You’ll pretty much need to dedicate an entire room to it, unless you’re fortunate enough to have a garage that’s not being used to hold your car or a basement that’s not overtaken by storing your junk. It’s a great starter table. I’ve just played here and there throughout my life. A couple friends growing up had a pool table at their house and I’d shoot pool once in a while hanging out at bars with friends in my early adulthood. But I never got good. So this table is turning out to be a fun way to teach the game to my young children. At least it’s not another damn screen to stare at!! Plus, I know when they get to college age and beyond, growing up with a table like this will likely mean they’ll be some of the better players in the room when they get to that point in life…

Excellent product! My husband and his friends really enjoy this table. We order one before this one and it was delivered to the wrong address. We were devastated, because it was never recovered. Amazon did right by us, so we order this one from a different company, and was delivered by Amazon and not FedEx! Big difference! We are very happy with this product!!

We purchased the 6' table which actually measures 6.5' x 43''. Our room is about 12 x 11'. There is one tight spot, but a short stick resolves that problem. I have been playing pool for over 45yrs. I can honestly say I am not dissappionted in this table at all. If you are looking for the astetics of a $4000 Brunswick table, you need to purchase a more expensive table. That being said, the table is not unattactive. The felt is nice, maybe a tad slower than a true slate/felt table. The balls roll evenly and consistently. The pockets are a bit forgiving, which is not always a bad thing. The balls and sticks that come with it are not bad either. Wether you are a beginner or have years of experience, this table will suit your needs.
