The pool table is an essential piece of furniture that can complete any game room, and we understand that narrowing down your purchase from so many options can be challenging. Considering many factors like size, color, material, and current price, buying the best pool table for your space may feel overwhelming. We’re here to help make choosing the best billiards table for your game space simple.

Pool Table Sizes

Always consider whether you have enough space in your entertainment room for a pool table. The standard pool table, perfect for a typical rec room, usually measures approximately 7 feet in length. However, they do come in larger sizes.

The size of your pool table should depend on the size of your game room. Keep in mind you'll need ample space around the table for the cue sticks! As a general rule, you should have at least 5 feet of free space on all sides of your pool table.

It's essential to consider all these aspects before making your purchase, as the wrong size can leave players feeling cramped and lead to damaged walls. Whether you're creating a room for serious gaming or a space for leisurely play, choosing the right pool table size is an important decision.

Pool Table Materials: Which Is the Best?

When it comes to pool tables, materials play a major role in creating a positive pool experience.

Common materials include medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and slate. The choice between these materials often depends on the specific needs and budget of the buyer. For instance, if you are looking for longevity and immaculate play, slate is an excellent choice because of its durability.

Slate pool tables are built from high-quality stone, so the surface will never warp. Table warp creates an uneven playing surface, which can unintentionally cause the path of moving pool balls to curve. Fortunately, slate pool tables will last for years with virtually zero warp. They are a perfect long-term investment for your game room.

MDF, on the other hand, is an affordable alternative. Although not as durable as slate, it’s perfectly suited for casual play.

FAQs

What is the difference between a pool table and a billiards table?

Though often used interchangeably, "pool table" and "billiards table" do have distinct meanings. A pool table is specifically designed for cue sports such as eight-ball, nine-ball, and straight pool. They are typically rectangular, with pockets at each corner and in the middle of the long sides.

On the other hand, a billiards table, used for games like three-cushion billiards and straight rail, is larger and has no pockets.

How do you play billiards?

Billiards consists of a variety of games with different objectives. However, in most games, players aim to use the cue ball to knock other balls into the pockets of the table. Simple to comprehend yet challenging to master, billiards is an engaging game that's perfect for any rec room.

Are pool tables expensive?

The price of pool tables can vary greatly depending on factors like size, material, brand, and additional features. It's always beneficial to keep an eye on your favorite brands for discounts on the original price.

Table Tennis Buying Guide

Ping pong is a classic sport that can be played both indoors and out, and it is perfect for nearly all ages who want to play. With many ping pong tables to choose from, how can you find the best ping pong table for you, your home, and your budget? There are plenty of essential pieces to a ping pong table to consider before purchasing, including quality, size accessories, and more. 

Standard Ping Pong Table Size

The standard size of a regulation ping pong table is 9 feet long by 5 feet wide. You’ll also want to have at least 5 feet of space on both ends to stand and about 3 feet on either side of the table. So before you purchase any indoor tables, measure your space to make sure you have enough space for the table and room to play ping pong comfortably.

It may also be helpful to measure other parts of your entertainment space, specifically any small spaces like hallways, doorways, and stairwells that the ping pong table may need to go through before setup. When searching for ping pong tables at Watson's, be sure to look up or ask for the dimensions of the robust frame to find the perfect regulation-size table.

Construction Quality & Features 

Consider any additional features that you may want in your indoor ping pong table, including foldability, table thickness, and portability. If you’re planning on having an outdoor table, weather resistance will be an important factor. The best outdoor table tennis pieces will have to hold up to rough weather conditions when not in storage.

Another optional feature is the ability to fold the ping pong table into "single-player" mode, allowing only one player to play instead of needing two players. Foldable tables are great if you need compact easy storage options for infrequent table use. It may be a great idea to pick up a ping pong table that comes with durable wheels for easy moving.

For players who want the best experience in recreational play, look for tournament-grade tables, which are already approved for international table tennis games and are recommended tables for your home. Purchasing a thick, good-quality ping pong table (at least ¾") will offer the most consistent indoor ping pong experience. However, high-quality table tennis tables do not have to have a thick table surface for recreational players to enjoy the game.

Playing Surface

As previously stated, one of the most important things to look for when purchasing a table tennis table is the table thickness of the surface. Any table tennis tables that are less than ¾" thick may warp easily and not produce a consistent ball bounce. Many table tennis tops are made from particle boards, though they’re not always equal. Some tabletops are constructed from particleboards that are better quality than others. As a rule of thumb, look for medium-dense boards to provide a higher percentage of resin. The higher the density, the higher the warp resistance. 

The powder-coated finish of the playing surface is also essential. The best ping pong tables have many layers of finish, improving the bounce while resisting any fade. Screened-on lines are also preferable to tables with tape lines because they are smooth, preventing any interference with gameplay. 

Most table tennis tables are constructed using wooden surfaces. These surfaces are perfect for many uses but are not recommended to be played outdoors. This is because particle board surfaces can warp due to humidity, moisture, and extreme weather conditions. 

For outdoor play, it is best to purchase a ping pong table made with an aluminum play surface to avoid weather conditions creating uneven surfaces and damage. Tabletops that use an aluminum play surface also incorporate wooden pieces into their design. Not only are they perfect for outdoor use, but they are entirely weather-proof too.

Accessories

Having at least two pairs of paddles is great, and having a plethora of ping pong balls is even better.

A crucial piece of having the best table tennis gameplay is solid paddles. Great paddles will last you a lifetime, but you may need to stash a few extra paddles away in case you put heavy wear into them. Keeping a couple of extra paddles is also excellent for playing a doubles game when you want to entertain friends. You may also want some paddles for at home and some others for use outside the house such as if you join a local club.

Ping pong balls are made from plastic, so purchasing quality ping pong balls prevents them from becoming dented and having an inconsistent bounce. Because heavy-duty ping pong balls are so durable, you might want to pick up a similar quality professional-grade net and post.

Easy Setup

An often overlooked feature in deciding the best ping pong table for your entertainment room is how long it will take to set up. Fortunately, many modern ping pong tables have unique designs that are shipped pre-assembled or with a short setup time.

However, it is not uncommon to find ping pong tables challenging to set up, taking more than five hours to put together. Fortunately, those who shop at Watson's can find that most tables are easy to assemble. With additional quick-play features, you can get to the game as quickly as possible with little hassle.

Keep in mind that high-end tables are more difficult to ship pre-assembled. If you plan on picking up a full-size table, don't expect it to deliver in one piece.

Safety

Families with children should always prioritize their safety. Children love ping pong tables, so be sure to purchase one that will prevent them from hurting themselves when in use. Common injuries include trapped fingers, knocking into steel legs, and rolling over feet.

Fortunately, many tables from Watson's will come with protected corners to protect children from scrapes and bumps. You will also need to look for tables with locking mechanisms to prevent the table from moving on wood and tile. (Good news: It is standard for many high-end tables to come with these locks.)

The last important safety measure with many ping pong tables is the folding lock system. Folding tables can cause accidents for children who are not careful. If you plan to purchase a folding table, be sure to choose one with excellent ratings and overall high build quality.

FAQs

What type of ping pong table should I get?

Deciding on a ping pong table for your entertainment room or another part of your home can depend on the quality, size, budget, and the environment you will be playing in. The best ping pong tables are at Watson’s, where you can get a professional-grade table for great indoor or outdoor experiences. Other tables can be smaller in size for easy storage and a different experience such as a foldable table that allows you to play the game alone.

What is the standard size for a ping pong table?

The standard size for a regulation ping pong table is 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. With these measurements, you will need to consider how you will get the pieces through small spaces and make sure there is enough playing space around the table.

Is there a difference between table tennis versus ping pong?

No, there is no difference between ping pong and table tennis. They are the same sport, just with different names. Both involve players hitting a small ball back and forth across a table divided by a net. Some people call table tennis "ping pong" and vice versa. All you need for this game is two players, ping pong rackets, and the proper table.

Foosball Table Buying Guide

One of the most classic games for any entertaining game space is the foosball table. The fast-paced game of table soccer is beloved by many for bringing people together, shouting and screaming over loud cracks from the sound of foosball strikes. The simple yet competitive game is perfect for individuals of any age, with little maintenance and upkeep needed. 

The foosball table is one of the best games to add to your entertainment setup -- but with so many options available at Watson's, you may be asking yourself: "Where do I start?"

Types of Foosball Tables

Novice foosball enthusiasts need to know first that the coveted playing table comes in several size options -- a standalone unit, multi-game table, and tabletop sizes. 

Standalone 56-inch Foosball Tables

The standalone foosball table is the best overall option for daily players who need a dedicated foosball game. Our abundant selection of foosball tables is strictly standalone, as they are the prime way to play the classic game. These tables are suitable for even the most serious players as they are specifically designed to withstand and abuse the balls in every game. 

Additionally, standalone tables are typically built with sturdy materials and use the classic one-inch foosball that is universally used in many popular tables. The soccer men are also standard-sized and made from good build quality. The quality playing surface is made with care to ensure that games remain fast and fun. 

Table Top 

The smallest and least expensive version of a foosball table is the tabletop. Serious players will yield plenty of wear and damage to the table after long-term use. The tabletop foosball option is usually a safe, inexpensive way to get started, though the miniature option isn’t for everyone. 

Multi-Game Tables

These foosball tables typically come with removable parts converted into other forms of game tables. They also tend to cost more since the focus isn't entirely on foosball. For those who strictly want foosball tables, this option might not be the best for you. They're only meant for light foosball play but will do just fine for the infrequent player. 

Consider Who's Using the Foosball Table

Since foosball is a game that all can love, it is important to consider who will be playing your foosball table. Are your children going to be playing? Or is it mostly going to be played by adults? Every group comes with different levels of "roughness" that need to be considered and analyzed. 

Some people prefer to pick a more cost-effective table for those with children to see if they like it or just in case they do some damage. Others pick up a quality table from the start so that it can handle more damage in the future.

Many high-quality tables are made with adjustable leg levelers to let the table height change as your child grows. Other tables even have ergonomic handles for increased safety precautions. It may also be best to find a foosball table with a ball return mechanism, so kids and adults both don't lose them. 

If anyone other than children is going to be playing at your foosball table, look for intermediate tables made with stability for quality play. Mid-level tables and up are also better for adults who may exert more force onto the table. 

Consider the Cost

Of course one of the key factors in deciding the best foosball table is the price and how it fits into your budget. The quality of a foosball table directly correlates to how much you pay for it. Mid-level tables are some of the best options for those just getting into foosball. These tables provide you with the quality needed to develop ball control that entry-level foosball tables cannot provide. With excellent construction comes quality gameplay, so your table will withstand years of wear and tear.

If you want the ultimate foosball experience, look for a pro-level table. The professional-grade foosball tables are perfect to play, made from the best materials, and are constructed with premier care. Many professional foosball tables are weighted down, so there is zero disruption to any match. Professional-grade tables are built to last and come with replaceable parts to fix anything that may have been broken or damaged. 

Construction Materials

The entry-level foosball tables are usually constructed from particle boards. The materials included in particleboards consist of wood shavings, sawdust, and chips mixed with resin and then placed into shape. Particleboards are not the most sturdy material and are made with thinner sidewalls. 

Pressed wood is also used to construct foosball tables. The quality of pressed wood often varies. It is similar to a particle board but is usually constructed with a veneer and then bonded together using heat and pressure. 

Composite materials are also used to construct foosball tables. They are moisture-resistant, so this foosball construction is perfect for humid basements. Composite materials consist of wood and thermoplastics, such as PVC. Their materials are less likely to warp over time, providing durability for years to come. As a rule of thumb, make sure these materials are made of walls that are at least one inch thick. 

Solid foosball tables are some of the best types of tables to be made. The only drawback to solid wood tables is that the ball can be slowed down, as the playfield is relatively soft. Since solid wood tables are vulnerable to humidity, it is best to keep them in a climate-controlled space. 

Playing Rods

A piece of foosball equipment that is overlooked but should never be compromised is the playing rods on your foosball table. The most popular type of foosball table rods is chrome-plated hollow rods since their lightweight build makes it easy to speed up your gameplay. 

Many high-quality foosball tables come with hollow rods. However, some mid-level foosball tables and many tournament-level tables come with solid steel rods. 

Some experienced players believe solid steel rods provide a higher level of control, and they have higher durability so they may last longer. However, many players prefer the reduced weight of the hollow rods because it keeps the gameplay moving fast.

Foosball Playfield

The frictionless surface of the playfield determines how fast the gameplay becomes. Solid wood and particleboard surfaces are some of the slowest surfaces because their playfields are soft. Tables with laminates are faster, and some tables are constructed of tempered glass to provide the fastest foosball experience. Consider the playing surface carefully, as those with experience will want a faster playfield surface. 

Additional Tips to Style Your Rec Room

In addition to shopping for foosball tables, there are tons of ways to make your rec room your own. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Furniture Selection: Choose comfortable seating options such as plush sofas, bean bags, and recliners. Look for versatile furniture that can accommodate different activities, such as seating for watching movies, playing games, and socializing. Include a mix of seating styles to cater to different people.
2. Layout and Space Planning: Arrange furniture in a way that makes conversation easy for guests. Remember to leave enough open space for movement, especially if the room will be used for activities like dancing or playing games.
3. Lighting: Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a cozy atmosphere, and consider installing dimmer switches to adjust the lighting level according to the mood. Use table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces to provide warm and inviting light.
4. Color Palette: Choose calming and neutral colors for the walls to create a soothing environment. Add pops of color through accessories like throw pillows, rugs, and artwork.
5. Entertainment Center: Set up an entertainment center with a large TV, gaming console, and speakers for a variety of entertainment options. Think of creative ways to organize cables and electronics to keep it looking tidy.
6. Storage Solutions: Use storage solutions to keep the space clutter-free. Consider shelves, cabinets, and storage ottomans. Have designated spaces for storing games, puzzles, and other recreational items.
7. Acoustics: Use rugs, curtains, and upholstered furniture to help absorb sound in the room, or consider adding soundproofing materials if the room is located near other living spaces.
8. Personal Touches: Decorate with personal items like framed photos and artwork to make the space feel like yours.
9. Snack and Beverage Area: Include a small snack and drink area with a mini-fridge, microwave, and a coffee or beverage station.
10. Natural Elements: Use natural elements like indoor plants or a small indoor water feature to add a touch of nature to the space.
11. Wall Decor: Hang artwork, posters, or even a gallery wall to add visual interest to the room. You can even use wall decals or removable wallpaper for a temporary design update.

Remember that the goal is to create a space where you and your guests feel relaxed and at ease.

What are common types of foosball tables?

Types of Shuffleboard Tables

Standard Shuffleboards

Standard shuffleboard tables require two or more players who stand on opposite ends of the table. Each player or team has a set of their own color-coded pucks. They take turns sliding pucks from one end of the table to another without the puck falling off the playing surface. Whichever player makes it to 21 points first wins the match.

Rebound Shuffleboards

Rebound shuffleboard tables are usually shorter in length, but the playing surface is wider — sometimes twice as wide. All players remain on the same side of the rebound shuffleboards. During the match, players slide their puck to the back, and it bounces back toward the player.

Tabletop Shuffleboards

Another type of shuffleboard is the tabletop shuffleboard, which is made without legs or leg levelers. They can be placed on nearly any surface, making them an extremely portable option to play a match on any flat countertop. Don't be fooled by the size. The scoring, as well as most rules and regulations, are similar across all shuffleboard tables. It comes down to space and personal preference. 

Shuffleboard Table Sizes And Materials

Shuffleboard tables come in a wide range of sizes, which makes it easier to find one that'll fit into your entertainment room. They typically start at 7 feet long and can be as long as 22 feet. Make sure you measure your space to decide which shuffleboard table will work best for you. Leave at least 3 feet of space on each end, so you have room for gameplay. There is little to no room needed on the sides of a shuffleboard, so they can be placed against a wall without disruption. 

The surface material is one of the most important aspects of a shuffleboard table. Always select the highest quality table made from solid wood, such as hard maple, with wood legs and a polymer coat. Tables built with these materials are great for preventing denting during gameplay and will cost less in the long run.

FAQs

How much does a shuffleboard table cost?

A shuffleboard table can range from around $500 for a basic, smaller table to upwards of $10,000 for a high-end, tournament-level table. The cost depends on the playing surface, size, material, brand, and other features.

What is the best length for a home shuffleboard table?

A typical home shuffleboard table ranges from 9 to 22 feet in length. The best length for your shuffleboard depends on the size of your game room and your level of play. But, if you're just starting, a 12 to 14-foot table should be a good start.

We offer a variety of fire pit shapes, including round, rectangular, octagonal, and square from top brands such as Agio, Hanamint, Plank & Hide and Tropitone, all at the guaranteed lowest price in the USA. 

Our fire pit functionality consists of portable, traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles. Popular fire pit models include Banchetto, Chateau, Lake House, Sherwood, Trenton, and Tuscany. 

Patio furniture sets with portable fire pits come in a variety of configurations and are made from cast aluminum, steel and other metal blends. Quality outdoor furniture with fire pit patio sets may feature several chairs, patio heater, a couch, coffee table, or low chat set tables. You can also find a more affordable set that’s a simple standalone fire pit or a fire pit table and chairs with cushions.

Outdoor Fire Pit Style and Type

Today, fire pits are more stylish and sleek than ever before. Here are a few of the best fire pit styles that work great for most backyards:

Fire Pit Tables 

Fire pit tables are elevated higher from the ground than more traditional fire pits. They are typically made from steel or various forms of stone and often come with a surface to hold drinks.

Some can act as a dining table as well, with a fire pit in the center. Many gas fire pit tables are decorated with steel or wicker siding, making them aesthetically pleasing in your backyard. Each fire pit is great for casual or formal patio entertainment in your backyard.

Fire Pit Bowl 

A fire bowl is large in size and made of steel. They are suspended over a concrete patio floor by a frame and sit very low to the ground. Most fire bowls have a compact size small enough to place on most concrete patios or backyards. A bowl can come with an ornate lattice pattern, while others are made with a simple steel design. A fire pit bowl is great for creating an industrial feel in a modern outdoor space.

Fire Pit Kits 

Use fire pit kits to permanently install a backyard fire pit. Kits come with everything you need, including stones and adhesives. They include a fire ring to safely contain the flame as an added precaution. Some fire pit kits are rounded, but you can also find square fire pit kits as well. Fire pit kits are permanent and cannot be removed.

Be sure to shop for patio chairs, a chat set or an outdoor sectional to create a comfy and intimate space to enjoy the fire.

Most fire pits that are placed on a concrete patio can be portable. One type of fire pit is the wood burning pit. 

Wood burning fire pits are made of aluminum to withstand high heat and are easy to move around in case of patio renovations. Iron pits might be harder to move, but they tend to retain more heat. When choosing a fire pit, find one that you can enjoy safely throughout the year. 

Another type of fire pit is the gas-powered fire pit. They use natural gas or propane fuel, and require a gas line or propane tank to heat. Gas-powered fire pits are easy to use, and they turn on and off instantly. City dwellers and folks living in suburban areas tend to choose gas fire pits as opposed to wood, since wood fuel might be harder to find in urban neighborhoods.

Gas Fire Pits

Do you like the look of a real fire, but prefer something that requires less work and maintenance? A gas fire pit is a perfect solution. Gas fire pits feature natural gas and propane for fuel. 

Gas fire pits provide the perfect centerpiece for a chat set. Simply surround your gas fire pit with a set of comfortable chairs for an intimate conversation.

Patio furniture sets with fire pits are available in many price ranges. They can start at a simple standalone fire pit all the way up to a set with chairs, tables and more. 

These items may also qualify for free shipping and free delivery to your home as part of our customer service guarantee. 

Wood Burning Fire Pits

If you prefer a little smoke in the air on warm nights, a wood-burning fire pit could be the perfect fit for your backyard. Much like a solo stove, a wood-burning fire pit has a rustic charm for when you want to spend time outdoors year-round or like to entertain with roasted marshmallows and other over-the-flame food options. When you add a comfortable patio set alongside, you will find you need little help making time for family bonding.

Benefits of Fire Pit Sets

A steel fire pit table and comfy chairs and lounges with cushions provide a top opportunity to relax and sort your thoughts with a hot beverage and enjoy the flicker of flames. Whether you want to cook burgers on the grill, read in solitude with a soft blaze, or bring together friends for a social gathering, a fire pit provides the perfect backdrop. With access to excellent customer service and free delivery, you cannot go wrong.

Decorating with Fire Pit Sets

You will find fire pits are easy to stage once you get your set unpacked and into your backyard. Most customers prefer to set up chairs around the pit and use accent tables or coffee tables for additional surface. A broader chat set or tabletop with chairs may set off to one side or at the back of the pit. 

Things to Consider When Buying a Fire Pit

Fuel Type

Wood, propane, and natural gas are the most common fuel types for fire pits. Propane and natural gas fire pits are smoke-free and easier to clean than a wood fire pit. A wood pit or solo stove will burn hotter but will also produce more smoke, soot, and ash.

Size and Shape

Make sure your fire pit fits the area. Models can range between 24 to 58 inches across and about 18 and 24 inches high.

Budget

A quality fire pit is an investment for your property that lasts a lifetime with proper care. A good gas or wood-burning model can range between $1,000 and $5,000 while a portable solo stove may cost a few hundred dollars.

Material

Stainless steel, stone, and concrete are the most common materials used to make fire pits. The material you choose should not only suit your personal taste but also how frequently you intend to use your fire pit.

Features and Accessories

A fire feature like an adjustable flame, pull-out gas drawer, or even a decorative finish can differentiate fire pit models. You might also want to consider accessories like a fire poker, fire pit cover, glass wind guard, or remote controls.

People Often Ask

What materials and features should I look for when selecting a fire pit table type?

Wrought iron accented with coordinating cushions is also a classic option that can also coordinate well with many grills or other patio furniture. You might also want to consider whether you want a gas-powered or wood-burning fire pit.

For a cozy chat set, sort through aluminum, steel, or plastic results based on your needs and budget. We have the best find for every customer with free delivery on many items. 

Which fire pit will work well with the current layout and design of my outdoor living space?

The type of desired fire pit that’s best for you will vary, depending on your budget, your patio design and your intended use. 

For instance, those who have a more natural backyard might want a fire pit kit with an added cooking grill to enhance the feeling of camping outdoors. A patio with a more modern design might need a patio heater or square fire pit that is raised to create a more conversational space.

For a customer with a large patio, it might be best to have a more robust set with a full tabletop and accompanying chairs that work well for outdoor seating near the fire pit. For the customer seeking conversation, we recommend a coffee table with a sofa and accent chairs. 

When the patio is smaller, we find the best patio decorations and products like a conservative tabletop and chairs that are used for both eating at the table and relaxation after meals. Most chairs, tables, and other furniture products are eligible for free delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a fire pit sit on the grass?

Technically, a fire pit can sit on grass. However, it is not recommended without proper precautions because the heat from the fire pit can damage the grass or even cause a fire. Using a heat-resistant barrier or choosing a space on your patio or gravel area for your fire pit is a safer option.

Should a fire pit be above or below ground?

Both in-ground and above-ground fire pits have their advantages. In-ground fire pits are typically safer as they're less likely to tip over and can contain sparks better. However, they might require more extensive installation work. Above-ground fire pits, such as gas fire pits or fire bowls, offer more flexibility and portability.

What is the difference between a fire pit and a fire table?

A fire pit and fire table primarily differ in their design and functionality. While a fire pit is a structure built to hold a fire, usually in a deep bowl, a fire table incorporates the fire pit into its table design.
