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.

Hubby didn’t want me to get it. Thankfully I vetoed him! We had a multipurpose room and needed a coffee table, so this was perfect. Daughter had a sleepover (15-year-old girls), and they all enjoyed it. 9-year-old son and his friend have really liked it too. Over Christmas, even my nephews ranging from 7yrs-20 all had a blast. Heavy table, doesn’t look cheap at all. Hubby assembled it in less than an hour. Beware – the box is really heavy.
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 criteria changes 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 levelers on its legs. So you will need to put it on a flat surface or manually level the table. These table designs are to make them look good, and levelers on each foot, while useful, does not look so great
Why Consider A Foosball Coffee Table
Beautiful Piece Of Furniture
Foosball is a popular game with both adults and children. However, most of the tables produced are somewhat boxy and usually have bright colors. These are not something that fits in at all well with the décor in your living room or den. Foosball coffee tables are designed to get around this problem, beautifully designed from solid woods, designed as a Coffee Table first, these look great in any room.
Strong Tables
When you are buying any piece of furniture, you should always consider how long that piece will last! Coffee tables are usually made from solid pieces of wood, the glass surface has to be made from robust, high-quality material, or it would break too easily when things were placed on its surface.
Multiple Uses
The main benefit of a Foosball Coffee table is its ability to fill various functions; you can still use it for your magazines and coffee. But there is also the option for you or children to play a game of Foosball
Not Overly Expensive
As the number of companies manufacturing Foosball Coffee tables increases, they need to distinguish their tables from the others. This means that the prices are being driven down, or the quality and features are going up. You can get beautiful tables now for just over $250
Kids Can Learn To Play Easily
Should you have small children around, they can learn the basics of foosball in minutes, rather than spending a long time, teaching them checkers or chess. It helps improve their hand-eye coordination, and keeps them off their phones/video games for a few hours

“…Great looking table for our living room”
This table has the approximate size of 48” x 26” x 20”, with a weight of about 90 pounds. As this is a coffee table it was designed to be put in one place and left there, it would not be easy to put this table in and out of storage every time that it was needed. Due to the low height, this table will probably not move much when you are playing.
Each player only has three rods to play with, rather than the standard four that you get on most full-sized tables. The configuration of the men is as follows: three goalies, three men in the midfield, followed by three men in the attack. Each player also has a ball return and a scoreboard.

Chicago Gaming Signature Foosball Coffee Table Review
Chicago Gaming Signature Foosball Coffee Table
Whether it is primarily a games table or a coffee table is open to debate and, according to some of the forum comments, it fulfills neither one of the other adequately to be considered a good option as either. However, that is something you would have to decide for yourself.
Despite various opinions, the Chicago Gaming Signature Foosball Table does offer great aesthetic appeal, with its inlaid wood veneers, solid hardwood construction, and hand-carved wood detail, and can be classed as a furniture-class product. The protruding rods, either side of the table, are telescopic and therefore able to be retracted when not in use as a game. The handles attached to these rods are fashioned from solid hardwood, in an octagonal shape. A sheet of transparent glass is positioned above the coffee table, covering the playing field and constituting the actual top of the coffee table.
Beautiful Table In Any Location
As a conversation-piece when you have guests, having the hand-painted foosball players posing in their playing positions makes the perfect ice-breaker. The adjustable leg levelers fitted to the legs of the table ensure that you can stand this coffee table on any surface, even if you have particularly deep-pile carpet. The playing field has been particularly attractively finished off, with inlaid wood veneers and other hand-carved wood detail. There are also solid wood scoring beads as well as a stainless steel ball return. The table, when fully assembled, measures 475/8 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 20 inches in height.
Chicago Gaming Signature Table Details
The manufacturers provide a 6-month warranty against defects that might come to light after you have taken possession of this beautifully crafted and rather elegant product. Although at 75lbs, the table is a little light for full stability when a game is underway, this lack of weight could be offset by its low height and an altered center of gravity. Incidentally, if you intend to ship this item anywhere, you need to account for 92.8lbs to allow for additional packaging to prevent this beautiful hardwood taking any knocks or scratches during transit.
