Hathaway Daulton 55-in Foosball Table
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Daulton is a 55-in foosball table with an urban oak reclaimed-wood finish, black hardware accents, and an X-pattern trestle base. The combination of warm oak and black metal reads as modern-industrial rather than traditional game room. Cabinet is MDF with an oak melamine coating at 54.75 in L x 29.25 in W x 34.875 in H, assembled weight 115.5 lb. Playfield is 46 in L x 26.75 in W at 0.35 in thick.
Chrome-plated, hollow steel rods with solid wood octagon handles and counter-balanced ABS players. 1.5-in independent leg levelers. Ships LTL in a single 178 lb carton. Assembly approximately 120 minutes — two-person recommended. Includes 2 foosballs (36 mm). 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 10 and up.
Construction
The exterior carries an urban oak melamine coating — a reclaimed wood grain texture in warm brown tones. Melamine over MDF is more moisture-resistant at the surface than stained or painted MDF, which matters for tables installed in rooms with ambient humidity variation.
The X-pattern base geometry distributes lateral load across all four floor contact points simultaneously, resisting racking under aggressive side-to-side rod movement. Black hardware accents on the trestle and cabinet rails complete the industrial aesthetic.
The 46 in x 26.75 in playfield is 0.35 in thick — nearly double the 0.1875 in standard on mid-range tables. The thicker surface resists center-field bow under sustained play loading and provides more consistent ball bounce across the full deck.
Rods are chrome-plated, hollow steel running through bearings for fast, consistent rotation. The 26.75 in playfield width is one of the widest in the 54-in class, requiring the rod to span more distance — hollow construction keeps the rod light enough to prevent sag at the wider span.
Wood handles provide a tactile angle reference during play — the flat octagon faces indicate rod position by feel without looking down. Wood handles also age more gracefully than ABS in warm game rooms where oils from repeated hand contact accumulate on plastic surfaces.
Three-goalie configuration on the goalkeeper rod eliminates the dead-zone shot angle in front of the goal. Counter-balanced ABS players return to horizontal between shots, keeping all figures in play-ready position during fast exchanges.
Buyer's Guide
At $499.99, Hathaway offers four distinct options: the Daulton (BG50351), Braxton (BG50350), Primo (BG1035), and Excalibur (BG5030). All four are in the same price tier with different design and specification combinations. The Daulton uses an oak finish with wood handles and a 0.35-in playfield on an X-trestle base at 115.5 lb. The Braxton has a taupe finish with rubber handles and a 0.35-in playfield on reinforced legs at 101.2 lb. The Primo uses a wider 56.5-in cabinet with CARB-certified MDF and a 26.5-in playfield at 130 lb on standard legs.
The Daulton and Braxton share identical playfield thickness (0.35 in) and nearly identical dimensions at the $499.99 price point. The primary selection criterion between them is aesthetic: oak-and-black industrial versus taupe-and-dark-metal farmhouse. Both ship LTL freight. The Excalibur (BG5030) is also $499.99 with a driftwood finish at 97 lb — lighter but with a less thick playfield specification at the same price.
