Hathaway Park Avenue 7-ft Pool Table Combo Set with Benches - Black with Red Felt
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Park Avenue is Hathaway's 7-ft three-function combo table in a black MDF finish — pool, table tennis, and dining in one cabinet with two padded benches. The distinguishing feature over the Newport is hydraulic hinges on both bench lid opens — the bench lids open and close smoothly without slamming, which is a practical quality-of-life detail when accessing storage multiple times per session. Cabinet dimensions are 84 in L x 47 in W x 32 in H at 592 lb — the heaviest table in Hathaway's 7-ft lineup. Playing surface is 74.75 in L x 36.75 in W at 0.75 in thick with red felt.
Ships LTL in 2 boxes at 530 lb shipping weight. Assembly approximately 70 minutes; two-person required. Two benches: 67 in L x 12.625 in W x 19.75 in H each. Full billiard kit plus table tennis accessories and dining tabletop included. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 4 and up.
Construction
Both bench lids use dual hydraulic hinges — the same mechanism used in Ottoman storage furniture. The hydraulic resistance slows the lid opening speed so the lid doesn't slam open against its travel stop, and controls the closing speed so the lid doesn't drop onto stored contents or fingers. Standard spring hinges do neither.
Billiards, table tennis, and dining configurations switch in under 5 minutes. Pool configuration uses the standard felt rails. Table tennis adds the included net and posts. Dining adds the solid tabletop over the playing surface for an 84 in x 47 in dining surface that seats up to 6.
Black melamine over MDF. The black-and-red combination (black cabinet, red felt) is the most visually dramatic in Hathaway's combo table lineup — appropriate for dedicated game rooms and basement entertainment spaces where the table is the visual focal point.
The 74.75 in x 36.75 in surface is 0.75 in thick with K-66 rubber cushions and blended wool-polyester felt. Same playing specification as the Newport — the Pool performance between both tables is equivalent.
Sturdy engineered wood post legs with adjustable levelers. At 592 lb assembled (the combined table and bench weight), this is the heaviest piece of game room furniture in Hathaway's lineup — two people are required to move any component.
Both 67-in benches have padded seats and lift-top storage compartments. The dining tabletop, table tennis accessories, and full billiard accessory kit fit inside the two bench compartments — no external storage needed for any configuration component.
Buyer's Guide
The Park Avenue and Newport combo sets are the same table format (7-ft pool + table tennis + dining + 2 benches) with two differences: the Park Avenue uses hydraulic bench hinges and a black finish; the Newport uses standard hinges in a light oak or rustic gray finish. At MSRP both are $1,699.99 — the hydraulic hinges are included at no price premium over the Newport.
Choose the Park Avenue for a black finish and hydraulic hinges — relevant for users who access bench storage frequently or who have children where lid slam control matters. Choose the Newport for a wood-tone finish — light oak (BG2535P) or rustic gray (BG50374) — that integrates with lighter-colored room palettes. All three share identical pool and table tennis playing specifications.
