Football, Pool or Ping-Pong Table: Which Game Table Suits Your Home?
A football table needs the least space and suits families with children. A ping-pong table needs the most floor space but can double as a dining or office table. A pool table sits in between on space and is the most expensive, but it is the one that turns a room into a games room. At Playoffside, prices start at €720 for football, €1,750 for ping-pong and €2,190 for pool.
