Sportcraft 84in Silver Line Turbo® Hockey

Easy to assemble November 29, 2011

I had heard that these were pretty good tables but was totally disappointed by the quality of this table. The supports on the table top are pretty thin pressed board as are the legs. Mine arrived with hairline cracks on the sides and the supports under the top. The table is turned on by a switch installed in the power cable which hangs below the table and is a pain to get at to turn it on. The display is powered by two AA batteries with a cover plate that has to be unscrewed with a screw driver to replace the batteries. This display is turned on separately and is easy to forget when turning off. Batteries won't last long if not turned off. The blower is weak but does give the minimum amount of performance. Assembly was quick and easy because there aren't many parts.

TurboHocky-Instructions bad, holes don't line up, pucks fly out February 08, 2010

The instructions don't show or tell which way some of the parts go and you won't find out till a couple of steps later.  The particle board holes don't line up and it splits out.  You need to glue every joint if you want them to stay.  We never did get all the bolts in under the table.  When you score the puck flies through the pocket an on to the floor.  The hand pieces mark up the table surface and the one electronic score end misses some of the goals.

POOR Quality.

Really nice when done with assembly but it took 3 of us 3 hours January 24, 2010

Purchased on sale for $249.00 and figured it was a good deal. Two of us picked it up at the dock in a pickup truck. Unloading was a chore with 3 guys but we slide it on a piece of carpet and got it to the basement. Best not to take out of box til you are at the assembly location. We had no missing parts and layed-out all sections with parts and started with legs carefully so as not to over screw into presswood. Took 3 guys 3 hours non-stop. Instructions were difficult at some steps when trying to figure out which way a bevel pointed and the silver bands on the legs do not all lay flat sufficiently, but ok. We really did not expect so many parts but it worked-out. The game looks and works like a quality board when complete.

 Have the same issue with the BLACK MARKS from the paddles, hope the WD-40 idea works. What can be used to keep surface smooth????????? Maybe they make a paddle with bigger pads! Scoreboard is great feature with my 12 yr old grandson and friends.

We purchased the 2  year warranty because we do not want to have any issues in the future after all this work.

Worth the Money July 05, 2009

Most that has been stated about this table has been accurate during my experience. I was able to assemble this table alone (though I wouldn't recommend it) but had to put several hours into it. Once assembled though, I have been very pleased. To me the only drawback about playing on this table is how easily marred the play surface can get. A little automotive cleaner wax helps, but it is a real shame as this is the only real drawback of this otherwise good value. I must have been lucky, I didn't have any missing or broken pieces and the fit and finish was much better than expected after after reading previous reviews.
