Pros: Decent looking table, bed seems sturdy (1.25"), VERY easy assembly.
Cons: This may be a feature of cheaper tables but the dimensions are NOT a 2 to 1 ratio length to width. My table's playing surface was advertised as 88" x 44" but it's ACTUALLY 86" x 41". I'm looking at descriptions of other "cheaper" tables and none of them have correct 2 to 1 ratios either. Maybe that's a thing.
Of course, this makes the angles we practice "non-standard" when we move to a professional level table with accurate dimensions. But we're mainly going to work on our strokes and cue ball action after hitting object ball - shape.
The rubber in the rails is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD so I'm going to spend a bit more to replace them with higher quality rubber rails.
The table was damaged during 9 weeks of shipping way out here to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There were numerous scratches on the surface of the frame and amazingly something actually was able to penetrate the pallet it was attached to, the cardboard box AND a 3" airspace to scratch and dent the felt!
However, Wayfair was VERY fair and offered me a refund that made me feel much better. I'll use part of the refund to replace the rails with higher quality with better bounce.
UPDATE: 9/28/23 Dropped to 3 stars. I'm afraid the bed is warped. I expanded my budget to buy a table closer to the $2,000 price point expecting correct dimensions, level bed and rails the balls will bounce off of, oh, well. I'm giving 1 star to the table (Missed the Mark) and upping it two more ONLY for Wayfair's attempts to make things good for me. Too bad about the warped bed and the fact that I'm too far away to exchange it, eh?
