How to Select the Best Pool Table and Air Hockey Combo for you

The first thing to consider when buying a multi-game table is the same as when purchasing a full sized gaming table: how much space you have and whether you want it stored away between use. Once you know that you can start narrowing down options. The second important thing to consider is the materials used to make the table and their durability as well as safety. MDF is high quality and non toxic so prefer gaming tables made of it as it is also sturdy and ensures that you get the right value for your money. Avoid flimsy materials; even if they make the table significantly cheaper, it will not last too long. A good way to find out if other people have had any issues with their purchase is to read reviews left by customers. This is particularly important if you cannot check out the table in person. Often customers leave reviews with timely updates as well so it won’t just be information when the product is new but you can get information to see if it causes any problems within the first few months.

Multi-game tables mostly run without electricity or batteries which makes them portable but it also means that they will not offer true air hockey which requires a powered motor pushing air up the table surface.

Apart from all this tables with multiple games tend to offer different game combinations from one model to the next. Carefully select on the basis of the ones that interest you or your children. Rather than opting for the one with the most options, select the one that gives you good quality even if it offers three games instead of five. Prioritize quality over small differences in the price tag and the number of gaming surfaces.

How Much Does a Pool Table and Air Hockey Combo Table Cost

Multi-game tables start from just 50 bucks and go up to even a grand. The price changes primarily based on the size. Full sized tables offering multiple games are easily around $800. If you are just looking to buy something for your kids there are many in the $100 to $250 range that will be perfectly suitable. The tables mentioned above are below in or below this price range.
