Barrington Roll and Score Game Table with Electronic Scoring, Sound Effects and Game Balls, Perfect for Family Game Rooms

The media could not be loaded. This skeeball table came packed in a box that was literally reenforced by wood. The packing material weighs a significant amount, so the package is VERY heavy, and significantly heavier than the parts or final product. We unpacked it in the garage and brought it upstairs in parts, and no single part was too heavy for one person to lift. The parts are all well labeled, and for the most part (with a few exceptions) the parts are numbered in order of assembly. The table itself is a mix of laminent, MDF particle board, and solid plywood where needed for structure. It fit together snugly, with the caveat that the tolerances on the holes was "loose". This is double edged in that it is good that the parts pilot together easier. It's bad in that you have to be very careful when tightening them down to make sure they are correctly placed or the end result can end up pretty crooked. Once assembled, with the wooden ball caveat below, the game plays pretty close to an arcade skeeball. The presentation is toned down for home/cost, but the actual play is pretty close. Overall I am very happy. That does not mean there are not some quibbles:1) There is no volume control, and the volume is a bit on the high side. I think the people complaining that it is "way too loud" are perhaps over stating it a bit, because it's not stupid loud, but it is a bit on the loud side of the spectrum.2) the rubber squish balls that come with the game are usable, but do not feel like real skeeball. I bought some 2.25" crafting balls and those work perfect.3) there are a few wood screws that did not have pilot holes for them. This wasn't a problem as the wood screws will go in fairly easy without a drill, but it's a little annoying too, especially since most of them DID have pilot holes.4) Based on videos posted about this table, we didn't even try to install the #23 boards that catch the ball and funnel it into the ball return channel, and replaced them with 1x3 inch wood cut to the right length to prevent balls from falling out. I did not experience the fall out issue myself, since we took the online advice, but the #23 parts have not been upgraded based on the videos reporting this issue from a few years ago.5) there is a gap in the corners above the 100 point cups that a ball can (and will) get stuck in. We're gonna fill that gap with cut to shape foam to prevent balls from getting wedged, so it's a minor issue, but as packaged it's an issue.6) this is not really a quibble, because it is exactly as described and the size is necessary for what it is, but this is a big long and awkward piece of furniture to move around. We had to move everything else out of the room it now sits in to manuver it for assembly. Once in place, everything went back in place and its fine, but I HIGHLY advise that you assemble it in close proximity to where you plan to place it.Quibbles aside, this is a great home unit that gives you skee ball play without the bulk/cost of an authentic arcade unit. I'm quite happy to have a skeeball table in my arcade area.

So if you don't have a lot of experience putting things together I would definitely pay someone to put it together for you or find someone with a good amount of experience to help you. It took my husband and Dad a little over 3 hours to put it together. No issues with ball return or sound being to loud like some customers have complained of. Easy to set game function , pretty sturdy,game balls that come with it are fine also. Really happy with this purchase. Amazon used NDS for shipping and other than having to call them to set deliver time after a no show for couple days that part went well also. No box damage. Item came in really good shape. Very happy with this item and glad we went with this skeeball machine.

Such a fun thing to have in our rec room! It wasn’t too difficult to out together. Is very heavy though and definitely need two strong people to complete. Our family loves ski ball and you can play one or two player games! It is VERY loud and especially in our basement so we have to be ready for the noise before we play!! The aesthetic is beautiful yet still a fun game table!

Very heavy. Took a long time to put it together, especially by myself. But it was worth it. Don't expect it to be like the arcade Skee Ball but it is an excellent substitution in your home.

The actual game itself is great.The interaction with the display and the controls is awful, which takes most of the enjoyment out of it. There is no volume control, so you turn the machine on and it blasts you out. The only option is to turn the sound off, but you have to turn it on first before you can turn the sound off, and by then your ears are ringing. Furthermore, if you turn the sound off, you don't know what mode you are in (single or 2-person), and whose turn it is. I feel they could have invested another $10 in a better control which would have made this a great game. After spending hours putting it together and spending more than $800, we don't use it now because it is just so loud and annoying. I even tried to cover the speaker or disconnect it (it disconnects the scoring as well). I would pay additional money for a solution to this.

A little piece of joy for the wife.

I got this for my wife for her birthday to help her practice for her local skee ball league (yes, that's a thing!). Delivery was set up efficiently through a local company and the game arrived in a large box on a pallet. We wanted to put it upstairs and could not get the box up in one piece, but it was easy enough to unbox on the ground floor and move the components individually.Assembly was fairly straightforward. The instructions are for the most part clear with well labeled parts and hardware, though there was one step for which the picture was a little confusing. Customer service was easily accessible and helpful. I'm glad I had a power drill to run in the screws; it would have been much more challenging by hand. A couple of screws were hard to reach but I managed. The final assembly is sturdy and looks nice.The game itself works as advertised. There are flashing lights, a running score for a 1- or 2-player game, and an announcement with scores which is very, very, very loud. We may put a towel over the speaker to dampen it a bit. As others have said, the balls are a little flimsy rubber and not solid wooden balls as you'd find at an arcade, but they work fine and cause less damage when thrown errantly by a child. The deck is also a little higher than a normal skee ball game, but our 5-year-old can play fine with a little step stool.

Balls are accurate however they keep sending me the yellow balls when I ordered green.
