Shuffleboard Tables

Shuffleboard tables are the ultimate rec room accessories. Few games can match the decorative appearance, multi-player format, strategic variety, and gaming pleasure of a shuffleboard table. Shuffleboard tables also come in a wide range of sizes suitable for any basement or game room. Here are some tips on choosing and caring for your shuffleboard table.

Shuffleboard table sizes and features

Size is the number one consideration when shopping for shuffleboard tables. Tournament size shuffleboard tables are 22 feet long, but unless your house used to be a bowling alley, you're probably going to want something smaller.

Home shuffleboard tables are typically between 9 and 14 feet long and 2 to 3 feet wide. The average shuffleboard table height is about 2 1/2 feet. We recommend measuring your rec room and choosing a shuffleboard table that will leave you with two to three feet of space on each end.

Wood is the predominant building material for shuffleboard tables, and shuffleboard colors and designs tend not to vary that much. However, shuffleboard table features can include three different scoring systems, lighting, decorative logos, and climatic adjusters that keep game play consistent during drier or more humid weather.

Caring for your shuffleboard table

Regular cleaning and board preparation will greatly increase the life of your shuffleboard table. Compare warranties as you shop for shuffleboard tables to help determine quality. Be aware that some shuffleboard tables are sold with separate warranties on the playing field and cradle.

Use shuffleboard cleaner once a month to get rid of the wax and silicone buildup on the playing field. A weekly application of liquid shuffleboard table wax is also recommended. Applying a silicone spray to your shuffleboard table before each game will reduce the amount of wax you use. Most shuffleboard table maintenance kits should include all the cleaning accessories you need to keep your shuffleboard table looking and playing its best.
