Giantex Foosball Table
If you are reading various reviews and top lists, one thing you will be hard-pressed to find on them, Giantex foosball table. And there is a logical reason behind this. These reviews are often of tables that are the best, while Giantex products are usually good enough. It is a sin I am also often guilty of. Concentrating and writing about tables I would like to own, as an enthusiast, instead of using my knowledge to provide information you as a buyer need to have. And many people who are buying foosball tables are not looking for something that has all the bells and whistles, but which is fun and good enough.
Giantex Foosball Table Review
Most people are looking for a so-called entry-point foosball table. They don’t need some fancy tournament tables that can cost several thousand dollars. But that part of the market is also filled with many low-quality tables. But Giantex is a company that is standing out from that crowd. To help you choose a table for yourself that is good enough I have created this list of some of the outstanding tables from this manufacturer.Wood 48” Foosball Table
This Giantex foosball table, like many of their products, is suffering from one obvious flaw, they do not have proper names. If you are looking for a foosball table to be used by your kids, 5 years and older, this is a perfect table for them. It is 48 inches long, quite shorter than competition size tables, and slightly lower. While two adults per side will feel cramped, this is a perfect whole family foosball table. It is made of high-quality MDF boards, tough it weighs just 42 lbs. But small weight is more to its decreased size than the decreased quality of materials. Legs, though they don’t have leg levelers, are additionally braced by a metal crossbar for added stability. When it comes to the quality of the hardware, rods, players, and so on; they are good enough for home use. They will not break easily, nor annoy or tire you.
Pros
- Sturdy construction
- Good hardware
Cons
- No leg levelers
Black 48” Foosball Table
Same as the previous product, this one also doesn’t have an easily memorable name. But that’s not where the differences end. But let me first cover the similarities. You will find that this one is made of the same quality MDF boards, though in general there are fewer of them, because of which it is lighter. It is the same overall dimensions and thus appropriate for the same age groups of players. Player rods are practically the same, though they feature robotic players, that can appeal more to some. This table does have leg levelers. But they are actually very small, and maybe you should think about replacing them with bigger ones. My personal opinion is that this is a good table, but not very resilient to energetic play some adults might be prone to.
Pros
- Good build quality
- Good hardware
Cons
- Leg levelers are on a small side
3in1 Multi Game Table
Besides dedicated foosball tables, Giantex has some multigame offerings. This three in one product offers foosball, pool, and air hockey. Because of this, it is slightly higher than the previous two tables, so it is not intended for kids younger than 8 years. It has a similar leg design to the previous product, but they feature cross braces for increased stability. This feature is particularly desirable due to the way the pool is played. So, you can be sure that it will be stable enough, and that it is sturdy enough. The rest of the materials used is the same as previous products, in other words, good enough for home use. Foosball hardware is the same as the black table, with the difference that one team of players is painted white. It actually has the same leg levelers, and you should think about replacing them.
Pros
- Good build quality
- Good hardware
- Multigame table
Cons
- Leg levelers are on a small side
27in Mini Football Table
Usually, tabletop models are intended for the youngest kids and toddlers and made of the cheapest possible plastic. But this mini Giantex foosball table is everything but like that. It is made of proper MDF boards and will last you for years. Because of the diminutive size, and the fact that it has only three rods per side, it is good only for 1v1 play. This isn’t some flaw, just a design feature. It can be used by adults, but it is also very safe for toddlers too. And it features rounded corners as a safety precaution. If you are looking for a tabletop foosball table, you will not find a better one than this. It is very sturdy, and very well put together, and I’m personally pleasantly surprised that it costs as much as its plastic competitors.
Pros
- Very sturdy
- Good build quality
- Good hardware
- Very affordable
Cons
- Some assembly needed
42” Foosball Table
If you are looking for a free-standing table to be played on by two people, this mid-size table may be a perfect choice. It is 42 inches long free-standing table, featuring only three rods per side. This makes it usable only for 1v1 play. While it is a desirable feature of tabletops, among free-standing tables this is a niche product. Because it is 30 inches tall, it is not recommended for kids younger than 9-10 years. It has some of the best features of the other models. High-quality MDF boards, braced legs for increased stability, and leg levelers. Though you should think about replacing them, as they are a bit small in my opinion. If you are looking for a table to play 1v1, this is a good home-level product.
Pros
- Good build quality
- Good hardware
Cons
- Leg levelers are on a small side
- Only for 1v1 play
