Decent Table
The table is decent for the price. It is not as nice as the tables you see in arcades, but they are expensive at 2k+; so for the price it gets the job done. The table looks pretty nice and the air is adequate to play the game. The table is a little smaller than I would prefer, but that was our choice based on our space needs. The table is a little sticky around the stickers that are on the playing surface - doesn't affect play too much. We had a little bit of an issue with the timer, the start button fell inside of it the first time we pushed it. I took the timer apart and fixed it - loose screws. All in all a slightly higher than average (expected) experience for the price.

    Damaged
    I ordered this air hockey table for my son for Christmas. It came cracked and damaged. It is a hassle to return. When purchasing several friends warned us that it would come damaged. Our friends tables were also delivered damaged. We returned and ordered from a different company.

    Table is very nice for the price
    It was very easy to assemble, and two guys could easily get it into my basement. The top weighs about 100lbs, and the base parts are around another 40, so we made two trips. It seems to work very well, but the scoreboard doesn't include a power adapter. But any 12v, 500 or more mW, negative tip will work. No need to buy the one the recommend for $25. I had trouble with the scoreboard right off the bat, as one digit in the left score tally doesn't light up. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to contact the manufacturer, and there's no way I'm returning the whole table to Walmart.

    Materials used to construct the table are poor quality. The design of the leg attachment to the body of the table is a poor design.

    Nice table for price
    Table looks and operates great. The ONLY complaint I have is that the included pucks are too light and often fly off the table. I have since ordered an "ice" brand puck off eBay for 4$ and hope that this fixes the issue!

    Sturdy table; kids love it.
    Very happy with this purchase. Table was relatively easy to assemble (done in about 45 minutes on Christmas Eve, including getting it out of box!.) Has been regularly used since Christmas with no complaints. Air blower has decent amount of power; moves puck around as you would expect for an air hockey table. Table is sturdy, no tipping or tilting issues. My sister is thinking of purchasing the same one for her house.

    Very nice!
    Love the table! It is the perfect size for my grand kids play room. I had it shipped to the store and it was in great shape when I picked it up. The packaging of the table was also awesome I was really surprised. It took no time putting it together. Pretty easy just had to deal with a really tight space to attach legs. I'm a women and my hands are very small and it was still kind of hard to get hand inside space to tighten screws. I don't know how a man does it unless he has a special tool. I was using the one that came with the table. You will need someone to help you set the table up after you attach the legs since it weighs 140 lbs.The electronic scorer works good and even has cheering sounds when you score lol. The puck will fly out of the goal box when hit in to hard so I may try a bigger size. Don't really like the plastic on the corners or felt on bottom of the strikers but this table is not arcade quality so it will do for the price. This is a wonderful table very sturdy, not to big and great for adults and kids.

    Nice Table for Recreational Family Use
    Actually very happy with this air hockey table. At 6' it is a mid-sized table, best suited to 1-on-1 play. For small kids 2-on-2 play is possible, but tight. This was our second attempt at purchasing a table through Walmart. I had the first table (a different brand) shipped directly to the house with poor results and had to return it. I chose the Hathaway Midtown table after visiting the Hathaway web site and was sold on their pitch that they package their tables better. I decided on ship-to-store in hopes that the box would arrive in better shape and, in fact, it did. I didn't find shipping dimensions in the description before ordering, but gambled that it would fit in the back of a 2014 Ford Explorer. It does, laying flat, just barely. Assembly was very easy, took less than an hour for one person and only requires that you provide a screw driver. It does require two people to move the box and then stand up the table after assembly (it weighs about 140 lbs). Given the construction of the table, I would be very careful using a drill/driver. Holes were pre-drilled so a #2 Philips head screwdriver worked fine. Quality is what you should expect at this price point. Lots of pressboard and plastic. The wiring seems solid; not loose at all. The parts mostly fit together as intended and there were no missing parts. You could probably assemble the table without the use of the assembly instructions, which is a good thing because the instructions are very sparse. Overall, I like the look of the table and it fits with other items in our game room. I deducted a star for 2 items: (1) the holes on one corner for attaching the legs were badly aligned. Right now only 2 of 3 bolts are holding that corner, but it is still solid and I will be drilling another hole for the third bolt. (2) The angle of the product picture doesn't show you that there is an ugly gap between the legs and the main part of the table. Our table happens to be at the top of some stairs, so it is very visible upon entering the room. It is also visible while sitting on a couch across the room. The table comes with 2 pushers and 2 small pucks. The pucks have a tendency to fly out of the goal box and onto the floor. It looks like you could use the larger size pucks. The paint on the surface of the table feels rough to the touch (rough like flat paint) and I was worried it would affect play. So far it has not. No problems with the electronic scorer once I realized that it required 4 AA batteries (not included and not mentioned in the assembly instructions). The power cord is very short. If the table is not next to a wall and within about 3 feet of an electrical outlet, then you will need an extension cord. The table has 2 on/off switches: one on the table and one inline in the power cord. So far (3 days), I am happy with this table. I knew going into it that it was not arcade quality (or size) and so I think it has been a good value. It's not the cheapest or the biggest, but it arrived without damage and works as expected. I would definitely recommend the table (and Walmart ship-to-store)
