Hathaway Centerpoint Bristle Dartboard and Solid Wood Cabinet - Dark Cherry Finish
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Centerpoint is the only dartboard cabinet in Hathaway's lineup built from solid poplar hardwood — every other model uses MDF. Solid poplar with a dark cherry finish gives the cabinet the visual weight and material quality of pub-grade dartboard surrounds. Cabinet dimensions are 25.5 in H x 22 in W x 3.75 in D at 22 lb. The 18-in sisal bristle board has a rotatable number ring for wear distribution.
Two dry erase scoreboards are mounted on the interior door faces with integrated dart holders. Ships small parcel in a single 26 lb carton. Assembly approximately 20 minutes. Includes 2 sets of steel-tip darts with American Flag and British Flag flights (3 each), 2 dry erase scoreboards, dart holders, and mounting hardware. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 10 and up.
Construction
Poplar is a North American hardwood with a tight, consistent grain and good stain acceptance — the reason it is the standard wood for furniture that will carry a rich stain finish. The solid wood construction means door edges and hinges fasten directly into wood fiber rather than MDF composite, producing a more durable hinge joint that remains tight through thousands of open-close cycles.
The multi-step dark cherry stain penetrates the poplar grain for a deep, consistent color rather than the surface-only coating applied to MDF furniture. The result is a finish that coordinates with traditional game room furniture — leather seating, wood bar cabinets, and dark-stained flooring.
At 25.5 in tall and 22 in wide, the Centerpoint is slightly taller and wider than the Winchester (19.75 in square) — the larger surround provides more visual presence on the wall and more wall protection from near-miss throws on the sides.
Regulation 18-in sisal bristle board. The rotatable number ring allows periodic redistribution of throw wear across all scoring segments. Rotating the ring every 2–3 months of regular use meaningfully extends the board's usable surface life.
Two dry erase scoreboards are mounted on the interior door faces, with dart holders integrated below. Dry erase surfaces wipe clean between games without chalk dust residue on nearby furniture or flooring.
Darts include American Flag and British Flag flights — a pub nod that references the two national dart cultures the game spans. Six total darts in two sets of three are included with mounting hardware.
Buyer's Guide
The Winchester Black and Centerpoint are separated by $20 at MSRP ($109.99 versus $129.99). That difference is entirely in the cabinet material. Winchester uses MDF — a uniform, dimensionally stable composite that takes melamine coating well but has no visible grain and cannot absorb a stain. The Centerpoint uses solid poplar — a real hardwood with natural grain that accepts dark cherry stain to produce the warm, furniture-grade appearance common in traditional pub environments.
MDF dart cabinets are the practical choice for rooms where the cabinet will see physical contact, humidity variation, or frequent repositioning — MDF resists denting and moisture at its melamine surface. Solid wood cabinets are the right choice when the wall installation is permanent and the game room aesthetic requires furniture-quality materials that match wood flooring, wood paneling, or solid wood bar furniture in the same room.
