Hathaway Excalibur 54-in Foosball Table - Driftwood
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Excalibur combines a modern X-pattern trestle base with a driftwood melamine finish — a design combination that reads as farmhouse-contemporary rather than traditional game room. The X-pattern base provides lateral support at floor level through a geometry that resists twisting under side-to-side rod movement. Cabinet is MDF at 54 in L x 27.5 in W x 34.5 in H, assembled weight 97 lb. Playfield is approximately 46 in L x 24.8 in W.
Chrome-plated steel rods run through ball bearings. Counter-balanced ABS players, ABS ergonomic handles. Independent leg levelers. Ships LTL in a single 143 lb carton. Assembly approximately 80 minutes. Includes 2 foosballs (36 mm ABS). 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 12 and up.
Construction
The base uses an X-pattern support structure at floor level. X-pattern geometry distributes lateral load diagonally across all four base contact points simultaneously — the same structural principle used in sawhorse workbenches to resist lateral racking without bracing hardware.
Cabinet is 1-in thick engineered wood with a driftwood melamine coating and black trim accents. The driftwood finish is a replicated wood grain texture — it reads as natural wood from table distance but is more moisture-resistant than stained wood at the surface level.
Steel rods run through fast ball bearings for smooth, consistent rotation. At 97 lb assembled, the Excalibur has enough mass to stay planted during fast exchanges without the full freight-shipping weight of the 156-lb Montecito.
ABS counter-balanced players on a slick playing surface. The smooth playfield coating combined with ABS player material produces consistent ball travel speed from the goalie third to the attack third.
Each leg has an independent adjustable leveler for compensation on uneven flooring surfaces. The X-pattern base geometry means leveling one end affects the floor contact of both legs on that end simultaneously — a useful property when shimming for grade changes.
Black hardware and trim accents on the driftwood cabinet exterior. The black-on-driftwood combination is a design palette that coordinates with both modern industrial and farmhouse-style game room aesthetics.
Buyer's Guide
Three Hathaway tables use a driftwood finish: the Excalibur BG5030 ($499.99), the Driftwood BG1135F ($525.99), and the Montecito BG5022 ($999.99). The Excalibur has an X-pattern trestle base and a standard MDF cabinet at 97 lb. The Driftwood BG1135F uses a CARB-certified MDF cabinet with a 0.375 in playfield and 5-in levelers at a higher weight (123.2 lb). The Montecito has a dual-pedestal base with poplar wood and birch veneer at 156 lb.
The Excalibur is the right choice when the driftwood aesthetic is the priority at the $499.99 price point and LTL freight delivery is acceptable. For buyers who want the thicker playfield and wider leveler range, the BG1135F adds $26 at a slightly heavier weight. For buyers who want the dual-pedestal base stability, the Montecito is $500 more but uses a fundamentally different base construction. All three ship LTL freight and require a delivery appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the X-pattern trestle base differ from standard leg bases?
X-pattern geometry distributes lateral load diagonally across all four contact points simultaneously, resisting racking without additional bracing hardware. Standard L-leg bases rely on the leg-to-cabinet joint rigidity for lateral stability.
How does this compare to the Driftwood BG1135F?
The BG5030 has an X-pattern trestle base at 97 lb. The BG1135F has a standard leg base, a thicker 0.375-in playfield, CARB-certified MDF, and 5-in levelers at 123.2 lb and $26 more MSRP.
Does this table ship by freight or parcel?
LTL freight — 1 box at 143 lb. Requires a receiving signature and ground-level access.
Are foosballs included?
Yes — 2 foosballs (36 mm ABS) included.
What is the warranty term?
180-day limited warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials under normal residential use.
Does this table have ball bearings?
Yes — fast ball bearings on all rods.
