Atomic 9’ LED Shuffleboard Tables with Poly-Coated Playing Surface for Smooth, Fast Puck Action and Pedestal Legs with Levelers for Optimum Stability and Level Play

We’ve been looking for, and at, shuffleboard tables for well over a year. While we typically buy higher quality furniture and decor, we simply couldn’t justify 2 – 4 thousand dollars for a high-end table that would get occasional use.I was skeptical of this one due to some of the negative reviews, but ultimately decided on it, and I’m happy I did. At this price point, this table is of exceptional value. At 9 feet, it was a perfect fit for our game room even though I was wanting something a little longer. I’m glad I stuck with the 9 footer.As far as delivery, it arrived 8 days earlier than anticipated and promised by Amazon which was a welcomed surprise. This baby is pretty heavy and there was some decent damage to the box which concerned me. After opening though, I found everything in excellent condition with all included parts and peripherals. Due to its weight, we had to unbox and take upstairs one piece at a time.Assembly was a breeze and it took me and my 14 and 17 year-old daughters just over an hour to build. The instructions were well laid out and easy to follow. While the instructions state that only a screwdriver and included wrench were needed, I opted to use a cordless driver at a low torque setting, which saved a lot of time.Regarding quality, keep in mind that this is a $500 table. You shouldn’t expect a table made out of solid wood that weighs 500 – 700 pounds. The bulk of the frame is fiberboard, but there are enough supports and screws to make this table particularly robust. The playing surface itself is about half the thickness that you would find on more expensive boards, but again this is consistent with this price point. Using several tools, I found the playing surface to be perfectly square and true. Absolutely no warping or cupping. As a completed unit, it is extremely sturdy. As a person “of size” at almost 300 pounds, I can comfortably lean on or against this table when shooting with no wiggle or movement of the table. The included pucks are similar in quality and weight with every other puck I’ve used in the past which was another pleasant surprise.Properly prepped with silicone spray and powder wax, gameplay is outstanding. I did not used the included wax, but instead purchased the Sun-Glo silicone spray and #6 speed shuffleboard powder wax combo from Amazon. The #6 speed wax seems like the sweet spot where gameplay is concerned on this size table. Additionally, I purchased the Playcraft pin setter with bowling pins which is a TON of fun.Ultimately, I’m VERY satisfied with this purchase and after a significant amount of time looking, thinking, and fretting over what to buy, I’m glad I went with this table. If you are looking for a lower cost alternative, I think you would be happy with this table. The only downside is that my 17 year-old daughter beat me handily on the very first game we played on this table. I quickly redeemed my pride and status as head of the family by whooping her at shuffleboard bowling though!
