Hathaway Braxton 55-in Foosball Table
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Braxton is a 55-in foosball table with an industrial farmhouse design — taupe MDF cabinet, burnished dark metal accents, and a monochrome black playfield. The distinguishing handle material is rubber: rubber grips maintain tactile feel under sweaty hands better than ABS handles, which develop a slick surface film after extended play sessions. Cabinet dimensions are 55 in L x 28.75 in W x 34.5 in H, assembled weight 101.2 lb. Playfield is 46 in L x 26.75 in W at 0.35 in thick.
Chrome-plated, hollow steel rods with counter-balanced ABS players. Thick reinforced legs with 1.5-in independent levelers. Ships LTL in a single 112 lb carton. Assembly approximately 120 minutes; two-person recommended. Includes 2 foosballs (36 mm ABS). 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 10 and up.
Construction
Cabinet is engineered wood with a taupe melamine coating and burnished dark metal hardware accents. The taupe-and-dark-metal combination is a farmhouse-industrial palette that reads well in game rooms with neutral-tone walls and black or dark brown furniture.
All rod handles are rubber — the only model in Hathaway's foosball lineup to use this material. Rubber maintains grip friction under sweat accumulation during extended play sessions, where ABS handles become slick and wood handles absorb moisture.
The 46 in x 26.75 in playfield is 0.35 in thick — nearly double the 0.1875 in standard on mid-range tables. A slick play surface pairs with the ABS players to maintain consistent ball speed across the full 46-in field length.
Black steel rods (chrome-plated) run through bearings. The dark rod color coordinates with the cabinet's dark metal accent hardware, maintaining the monochrome palette throughout the table construction.
Leg panels are thick and reinforced — a construction choice that provides lateral stability under aggressive play at the 101.2 lb weight class without requiring the dual-pedestal base geometry of heavier tables like the Montecito.
Each leg has an independent 1.5-in adjustable leveler. At 101.2 lb assembled, the Braxton requires two people to reposition — the levelers are adjusted during initial installation and are not expected to be regularly re-set between sessions.
Buyer's Guide
Foosball handle materials fall into three categories: ABS plastic, wood, and rubber. ABS handles are the most common at this price tier — durable and low-maintenance, but they develop a smooth, grip-reducing surface after extended contact with hand oils and sweat. Wood handles provide an angle reference by touch (the octagon faces) but absorb moisture and swell slightly in humid environments. Rubber handles maintain consistent grip friction regardless of hand moisture — which is the relevant performance criterion during long, competitive sessions.
The Braxton and Daulton (BG50351) are the two $499.99 Hathaway tables with an oak or taupe finish at this weight class. Both have 0.35-in playfields. The Braxton is 14.3 lb lighter (101.2 lb vs. 115.5 lb) and has rubber handles versus wood. The Daulton has an oak finish with an X-pattern trestle base. The Braxton has a taupe finish with reinforced standard legs. Both ship LTL freight; choose based on finish aesthetic and handle material preference.
