I bought this for my son's recent 7th birthday and the manufacturer has to be applauded for putting together (ok you do that bit but you get my drift) a terrifically well-constructed football table at a very competitive price point. He'd had one of the cheaper, table-top versions in the past and it barely lasted five minutes before the handles/rods started snapping. This thing is far more robustly put together and looks far closer to something you'd find in an arcade. The instructions are clear and simple and even with my so-so DIY skills, it didn't take more than about an hour. It recommends that you assemble the players into the table from the reverse side and like myself, you might find it easier to carefully assemble it the right way up at that stage to avoid getting anything in the wrong position - I can see how it can be easily done. All in all, well done, five stars.
