After trying a couple of these tables out, we found they are great fun, but they seem to be a coffee table foremost, with a built in Foosball table. If you want to play a fun game, and add more entertainment to the space you have available, they are great, but they will be of no use to practice on for the world championships

What Is A Coffee/Foosball table?
Having a Foosball/Coffee table in your living room, man cave, kids room, or anywhere that you may need a beautiful table, can add a lot to a that space. Manufacturers have gone to great lengths to make these stylish pieces of furniture look as elegant as there non-foosball cousins, after all, no one wants an ugly table sat in the middle of their living room.
If you have a Foosball style coffee table in your living room instead of a standard table would not give you any disadvantages, after all, you can put your magazines, drinks and other objects on it the same as any table. What it does give you is a conversation starter, that can be great fun for everyone who visits your home.
What To Look For in A Coffee Foosball Table
I have written about this several times before, however, when looking for this type of table then then criteria change somewhat.
With a regular table, the critical factors are Type of Table, player skill, style etc. but these generally do not apply as much to this type of table. These tables are not suitable for a professional to practice on (Beginners and children will be able to get their skills up to a better level).
When looking for your Coffee/Foosball table, the crucial factors will be the more ascetic factors like size, height and color/style. You will want something that looks like it is meant to be in the place you put it, so that you have a beautiful room and home.
Note, unlike most dedicated foosball tables, the duel table type is unlikely to have table levellers on its legs. So you will need to put it on a flat surface or manually level the table. These tables designs seem to be for making them look good, and levellers on each foot, while useful, does not look so great
