Advantages: Smooth rod action, Strong, Good finish, Professional Standard Football Table Disadvantages: Tricky to level on an unlevel floor
...value for money was the Garlando G500 from Table Sports Ltd. So I shelled out £285 plus £40 delivery on a Garlando G500 football table. It is like the one in "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and has excellent smooth action telescopic steel playing rods with nylon bushes and ball bearings and a full set of moulded players in red and blue. The main table is made out of solid 25mm heavy duty MDF with butchers block melamine surface, and box section steel legs. ... ...ball serve chutes on each side.
The table arrived within a few days in a large heavy flat pack box off-loaded by two burly guys (its worth the extra dosh for the home delivery). The main table bed is pre-assembled, and the players are all pre-fitted onto the rods. You then need to assemble the bushes and fit all the playing rods, and attach the legs. It's pretty heavy, but you can just about assemble it alone. You need to allow two or three hours ...

Advantages: Commercial quality table at an affordable price. Disadvantages: Assembly instructions and balls could be better.
I recently bought a Garlando G500 table for use by all the family and have not been disappointed.
I know Garlando tables from playing on their coin-operated models at college and was worried that the freeplay models would not give the same playability. However, the G500 uses the same telescopic rods as the tables I was used to and has the same size playing are so the feel is very similar. It is also heavy enough not to move around during play by ... ...very solid.
Very few negatives other than a couple of the balls were a bit egg shaped although it came with 10 so 8 were fine !
The table was well delivered and was easy to set up although it did take some time to get the rods in the right order as the instructions were not very clear.
You can see the G500 for sale onlline at www.garlando.co.uk. ...
