I tested a pool table and the kids loved. Given the price, so I did not hesitate. The only downside I thought the pool would be a bit bigger: when I position the canes exactly like the picture, they exceed more suggesting that the rods are shorter than the pool table. Now this is not the case of the product I received, the canes are longer. A detail perhaps, but in fact, this billiard table is much smaller than a coffee table. I was not at home and could not measure wrongly of course. However, for the price, and with children games, I did not expect a pool table "long life", this is an opportunity to let them have some fun and to buy one when they are true great
