Buying for young children / family use
When buying a table football table for young children your only real considerations are price, durability and possibly storage space. It is probably also a good idea to look at the height of the table football table you are buying to make sure your children can reach comfortably – around 80cm is about right. We recommend spending less than £150 until your children are old enough to need something more solid or become more serious about the sport.

Bar, pub, leisure club, hotel
The table football table that you need here really depends on what you are going to use it for, where it’s going to be and who will be using it. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your options. Here are a few points to consider.

If you want customers to have to pay to play:
You need a coin operated table football table if you want to make money from having table football on your premises. You options include the legendary Bonzini B60 – the biggest selling coin operated table since table football began (be warned it’s not cheap!). Coin Operated table football tables can also have a glass top to stop damage to the players of removal of the balls.

Leisure club or sports bar for free customer use:
Again this will depend mainly on your budget and also on the finish of the table (so that it matches any current furnishings that you have. Please feel free to call us to talk through your options. The main thing is that the table will stand up to the public use (and abuse!). Look for a strong and sturdy cabinet (at least 25mm thick) and strong solid legs.

Occasional use for special nights and events: Try one of these folding or portable table football tables – they will be easy to store and to transport if required.

Outdoor Use
These table football tables are weatherproof and rust proof and are generally very heavy duty. Our outdoor tables can be found in the outdoor table football tables section and we also recommend that you buy an extra cover for your outdoor football table (the is often one included with the table) to keep it looking and playing like new.
