Garlando G500 Table Football Table

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. ...

Review of Garlando G500 Football Table

Football mad

Advantages: A great game for all.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

I must write about the latest purchase a table football! I had never seen the attraction of playing this game until we have a go in our local pub. I was instantly hooked on it and thought what a great idea this would be for the youth club. I have purchased it on behalf of a local youth group. It was rather an expensive buy at £299.00 from www.excercisezone.com, but it was one of the cheapest after doing a search on one of those price comparison ...
...it very durable and strong. It's basically a table with a deep top where there are long steel tubes going across it width ways with the men attached to the tubes. There is a glass plate on top of the table making the men inside locked in. The tubes are what you play with and there are four on each side with a handle on each of the tubes for you to twist, turn and pull the tubes which make your men move. The men can only move left or right or can ...

Forget Harvard University Get Harvard Tables

Advantages: Great fun and well made
Disadvantages: None

Harvard are a fantastic maker of most football table, pool tables, table tennis tables and snooker tables. I will be reviewing their table football table. I have recently purchased this item on ebay, I have found it to be a great buy, for a bargain of £40 it was great, but I must warn you that I have done my research and that these table can cost between £200-£300 as new. This fantastic table is made of pine and is very durable and strong. **Durability** ...
...know how durable it is from new. I bought it with a fue bumps and scrapes. It hasn't had much more damage to it from when I bought it and is very durable. It is a very heavy table and very thick this makes it last much longer. **Scoreboard** The scoreboard is 10 cubes on a stick that slide across on a rail. When you score a goal you pull a cube across, the first goal you score you will be 1 pulled across and the second 2, etc... **The Legs** The ...

Review of Harvard Table Football

Top of the tables - ten out of ten

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 ...
