The reasons why you should buy a football table are obvious. But once you have made that decision, you will need to decide on a number of factors.

Choosing the right size of Table Football

Unlike snooker and pool tables, which have set measurements, table football games have a range of sizes. This means that there is sure to be one to suit your home space, whether you intend to keep in the living room, garage or bedroom. If you are buying your table for a pub, club or other business you are likely to have more space to spare. Table football tables are generally around 150cm (length) by 80cm (width), although this changes dramatically depending on the style. Micro tables are much more compact (at 53cm x 92cm), and a table was designed by an artist to fit 11 players per side, at 7metres long!
