Thinking About Game Tables
Q: What makes premium game tables different from standard ones?
A: Premium tables from Brunswick and Olhausen are built like fine furniture—solid construction, precise play, and finishes that elevate a room. They’re made to play beautifully and last for years. Learn more: Olhausen Game Tables | Brunswick Game Tables
Q: How much space do I need for common game tables?
A: Ping pong plays best with about 19’ × 11’; foosball and air hockey are comfortable around ~8’ × 6’; shuffleboard ranges 9’–22’ plus a little clearance at each end. See ideas in How to Build a Game Room You’ll Love.
Q: Can I match finishes across shuffleboard, foosball, and other tables?
A: Yes. Brunswick and Olhausen offer coordinated designs so woods, finishes, and leg styles look cohesive in one space. Get design tips in Transform Your Home with a Thoughtfully Designed Game Room.
Q: Are these tables family-friendly for kids and guests?
A: Absolutely. These are durable, low-maintenance games that invite friendly competition and connection. More on the benefits of play: Playing Games Boosts Brainpower.
Q: Shuffleboard essentials: what should I know?
A: Look for a solid-maple playfield with a protective polymer finish, stable cabinets, and easy leveling. Both brands also offer models that match their pool tables. Explore: Olhausen Shuffleboard | Brunswick Shuffleboard
Q: Can I add a ping pong top to my pool table?
A: Yes—high-quality conversion tops (like Olhausen’s) give quick setup without sacrificing looks. Considering outdoor play? See why we like Cornilleau outdoor ping pong tables.
Q: What separates a high-quality foosball table?
A: Weight and precision: sturdy cabinets, smooth rods, counterbalanced men, and level playfields. That’s why we curate Brunswick and Olhausen for Maine homes. Compare: Brunswick Foosball | Olhausen Game Tables
Q: Air hockey vs. dome (bubble) hockey—what’s the difference?
A: Air hockey uses powered airflow for fast puck glide on a smooth surface; dome hockey is a compact, enclosed “rod hockey” game that keeps the puck in play under a clear dome—great for smaller spaces.
