Strikeworth TriSport 4 foot Multi Games Table

The table once assembled is a great product. It's sturdy when playing as the locking mechanism is rock solid. Rotating the table is easy enough, can be done by one person as long as you keep a hand on it when taking out the second locking bolt, as the football side is heavier and will cause the whole thing to rotate by itself.

The quality of the table tops is excellent, and the fan on the hockey table side is better than I expected. The bars on the football side are sturdy and made of a thicker-walled pipe than the ones on other tables I've had, so I expect them to last longer without snapping.

The instructions are generally good; there's a section where the only indication you need to fit the ball return boxes on the pool table is in the picture - the text neglects to mention this. The instructions also are not very good when putting the football player bars in, as you have to remove the inner bar first to get the washers and bumpers on then re-insert it. Getting the bars in requires pushing the 'thick' side through the hole with the gland from the inside of the table, and because it's not perfectly flat this takes a little bit of effort as it's quite snug - make sure the players are horizontal and keep the bar as low down as possible when pushing it through.

The only other thing is that it's not clear from the instructions where the clip for the power cable is supposed to go - the picture shows it being right next to the hole purposely cut in one of the sides for it to transition inside the table, which seems pretty pointless as you just lose a couple of inches of cable - it's not like you can open and close it and use it for storing the cable when rotating as it's a P-clip which you completely close with the screw, so I didn't bother attaching this.

The fit on the beveled side pieces that join the different sides of the table together isn't perfect, so when you go to fit the last one before screwing the pool table top in, you might have to loosen the screws holding the side of the football table that it fits against, in order for the screws to line up on the pool table side. I found that even then, it wasn't perfect and we ended up with a slight gap between the pool table and the trim/side which didn't pull all the way in when screwing it to the side.

Apart from the above (which are much more minor than my lengthy description makes them appear) all is well with the table, and my six year old should get plenty of life out of it. I think the only thing that lets the finished product down is the lack of storage - it feels like with all that empty space in the middle of the unit, Strikeworth could maybe have found a way to store some of the accessories in the body, in a pocket accessible from one of the ends - even if just for the pool cues.
