Rene Pierre Foosball Table – Goal

Quick Q & A
Do the table come with foosballs?
Yes. The table ships with free foosballs so you can start playing as soon as you’ve got the table set up. The table comes with a manual.
How durable is this table really?
Quite durable it seems. This Rene Pierre foosball table is handmade in France by French artisans. Maybe that doesn’t mean much but the French did make the first smokeless powder rifle – so … I guess they know what they’re doing.
The table has a nice smooth playing surface and the materials used in construction are very good. The cabinet is resistant to heat and scratches. The players are made from metal and they are hand-painted.
How many players are there on the goalie rod?
One. So that little guy will have his hands full. Some people prefer two or more players on the goalie rod, but personally I like playing with a single goalie.
Quick Verdict
The Rene Pierre Foosball Table – Goal is slightly smaller than a regular sized table. Its dimensions once set up is about 60 inches in length, 41 inches in width and 35 inches in height. It weighs roughly 120 Lbs.
A great table for kids – but grownups can have fun on it too. Well designed and well manufactured (for all ye lovers of French workmanship).

Quick Q+A
How sturdy is the table?
This table should withstand years of tough use. With normal everyday use (read no breaking pool cues and spilling beer all over it ). It may even outlast some of its owners (there will be fist fights over who gets it at the wake).
It looks like the rods don’t go all the way through. Is this right? It looks different than on some other tables.
Yes correct. The rods are telescopic and don’t stick through. This is a good thing don’t worry. The telescopic rods makes for safer play during heated match moments. Unless of course you really want to poke the other team in the ribs.
Is this table really made in France – or in China like other tables?
It is designed and built by French hands.
Quick Verdict
The plastic players found on other tables will not stand the test of time as well as the die cast players on this fun machine. You can kick the hell out out of the ball with these (just watch out for the windows).
This table is well built, and is definitely a great investment. If you have the money to spend, you’ll be spending it well on this table.
