What a great purchase! This table is big & tall. I’m 6’3 and this table is at a perfect height. For kids to play this comfortably they will probably need to sit on a bar stool. The size of this thing is very deceiving in the pictures. The pub table has a lot of weight to it, no worry’s of it falling over if someone bumps into it. The screen is bright & colorful. The spinners are very good. No need to upgrade them. There is plenty of room for 4 grown men to play at one time. Nobody will be bumping elbows. The table surface seems to be much more durable then the Arcade1up video game cabinets. The surface is made out of a different material seems like it will hold up a lot better as time goes by. If you love entertaining and having people game together then you’ll love this. Playing this arcade with 4 people is so much fun. It’s simple fun games. Very easy for anyone to pick up & play. Takes about 30-40 minutes to put together. It’s not very hard. It’s a little pricey but well worth the purchase for me.

My husband is very happy with the table. It took him some time to build it but it was still pretty easy. This is exactly what’s been missing in our room. Great present for those who love Pong and other games in this machine!

When this was announced, I was pretty excited because I have been wanting a pub table for a while and this sounded like a fun twist.
First, the good:
-Spinners are great! Much better than Arcade 1Up used in the past!
-Screen is a good size for standing at the table
-Table is a good height for adults and is heavy
-Easy to assemble, even for 1 person
Now, the bad:
-THERE IS NO PLEXIGLASS TOP! It’s clearly visible in the pictures, but nothing. This was the biggest reason I wanted this! It’s a PUB table! I don’t feel safe in placing drinks on this.
-The artwork on top is at risk without protection. Mine was slightly smeared out of the box
-Edge of the table isn't rounded enough. Your palm rests on a somewhat sharp edge when you play.
-My screen has a number of MDF particles inside the screen assembly which I can see no way of cleaning out
Overall, it’s acceptable but I am a bit disappointed. At least the games play well.

This product is amazing! It’s a lot taller and bigger than I expected. The spinners work great; and it has a solid quality feel to it. The assembly is quick and easy, but having to put the waterproof stripping along the edge of the screen recess was a bit odd. My one and only gripe is that the product did not ship with a plexiglass top, and other reviews have mentioned this as well. I read that the top is coated in some waterproof vinyl, but I don’t think it will withstand beers and other drinks put on it for very long. I have coasters on mine and would gladly buy a plexi top from A1up or from another 3rd party so I can protect this thing. It would also look better with a plexi top as it would give it a durable looking sheen. My hope is A1up will address this issue for the users who bought this expecting a plexi top to be included. Otherwise the product is fabulous and worth the price given how nice it looks in a bar or game room.

Like most things arcade1up, the build quality is very poor. The controls are also poor and the screen came pre scratched, which is the normal for arcade1up. Only buy these when they get a deep sale (I paid $100 for this).

Great games- great height- great replay value. 3 stars for cosmetics. Time to replace the concept art with actual pictures that show the large number of expose screws. Those exposed screws will definitely be a problem if a drink is spilled because there is no plexi glass. Such a great idea and was really looking forward to this. However, hard to rate this higher as the pictures and early concepts are deceiving. One thing I think most people will agree on are that the spinners are better than expected.

I have several Arcade1up machines and was happy to see Pong come along. It’s a childhood favorite. The gameplay on this is the great. The quality, specifically on the top, seems slightly lower than my other machines…which is a common theme for this company. I do enjoy the game play and never played Warlords as a kid and boy was I missing out!
