Hathaway Excalibur 9-ft Shuffleboard Table - Driftwood Finish
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Excalibur is a 9-ft shuffleboard table with the driftwood farmhouse finish and X-pattern structural leg design used across Hathaway's Excalibur furniture line. The 96 in L x 14 in W playing surface at 1 in thick is poly-coated MDF — a durable surface construction for recreational play. Cabinet is MDF in a driftwood melamine finish at 108 in L x 24.25 in W x 30 in H, assembled weight 202.4 lb. X-pattern legs with a 2-in diameter center support bar.
Climate adjusters and leg levelers standard. Ships LTL in a single 260 lb carton. Assembly approximately 60 minutes. Includes 4 blue pucks, 4 red pucks, table brush, and wax. 180-day limited warranty.
Construction
Leg panels form an X-pattern at floor level with a 2-in diameter center support bar connecting the two X structures along the table length. This geometry distributes lateral loads diagonally across all four floor contact points simultaneously — the same X-pattern structural principle used in the Excalibur pool table and foosball table frames.
MDF cabinet with driftwood melamine coating — the gray-brown weathered wood texture that coordinates with the Excalibur pool table, Excalibur foosball table, and the full Hathaway farmhouse game room collection. The driftwood finish is applied consistently across the leg panels, top rails, and end aprons.
The 96-in playing surface is 14 in wide — narrower than the Challenger's 15 in and the Avenger's 20 in. The narrower width produces tighter scoring zone geometry and rewards more precise puck placement than wider surfaces. Poly-coated MDF provides a consistent glide surface at a lower construction cost than butcher block alternatives.
Integrated climate adjusters compensate for MDF surface bow under humidity changes. MDF is more sensitive to humidity than solid wood — the climate adjusters are a necessary feature on any MDF-surface shuffleboard table installed in a basement or unconditioned space.
At 260 lb in a single carton, the Excalibur ships as one LTL piece. Single-box delivery is easier to coordinate and receive than the two-box configurations on comparable-length tables.
Adjustable leg levelers on each X-pattern base. At 202.4 lb, the table is effectively a permanent installation once assembled and leveled.
Buyer's Guide
The Excalibur ($699.99) and Avenger ($669.99) are separated by $30 at MSRP and represent the same tier in Hathaway's shuffleboard lineup — both use poly-coated or poly-sealed MDF surfaces at 1-in thick, both have climate adjusters, and both ship as a single LTL box. The differences: the Excalibur uses an X-pattern leg design (versus pedestal storage legs on the Avenger), has a narrower 14-in surface (versus 20 in on the Avenger), and comes in the driftwood finish (versus black). Choose the Excalibur for the farmhouse aesthetic and X-pattern base geometry; choose the Avenger for wider field play and built-in leg storage.
The driftwood finish connects the Excalibur shuffleboard table to the Excalibur pool table (BG50346) and the Excalibur foosball table (BG5030) — buyers furnishing a game room in the driftwood Hathaway palette will find the consistent finish across all three pieces creates a coordinated room aesthetic. All three ship and install independently; there is no assembly dependency between them.
