10' Coventry Collection Roll and Score Arcade Game

This skeeball table came packed in a box that was literally reenforced by wood. The packing material weighs a significant amount, so the package is VERY heavy, and significantly heavier than the parts or final product. We unpacked it in the garage and brought it upstairs in parts, and no single part was too heavy for one person to lift. The parts are all well labeled, and for the most part (with a few exceptions) the parts are numbered in order of assembly. The table itself is a mix of laminent, MDF particle board, and solid plywood where needed for structure. It fit together snugly, with the caveat that the tolerances on the holes was "loose". This is double edged in that it is good that the parts pilot together easier. It's bad in that you have to be very careful when tightening them down to make sure they are correctly placed or the end result can end up pretty crooked. Once assembled, with the wooden ball caveat below, the game plays pretty close to an arcade skeeball. The presentation is toned down for home/cost, but the actual play is pretty close. Overall I am very happy. That does not mean there are not some quibbles: 1) There is no volume control, and the volume is a bit on the high side. I think the people complaining that it is "way too loud" are perhaps over stating it a bit, because it's not stupid loud, but it is a bit on the loud side of the spectrum. 2) the rubber squish balls that come with the game are usable, but do not feel like real skeeball. I bought some 2.25" crafting balls and those work perfect. 3) there are a few wood screws that did not have pilot holes for them. This wasn't a problem as the wood screws will go in fairly easy without a drill, but it's a little annoying too, especially since most of them DID have pilot holes. 4) Based on videos posted about this table, we didn't even try to install the #23 boards that catch the ball and funnel it into the ball return channel, and replaced them with 1x3 inch wood cut to the right length to prevent balls from falling out. I did not experience the fall out issue myself, since we took the online advice, but the #23 parts have not been upgraded based on the videos reporting this issue from a few years ago. 5) there is a gap in the corners above the 100 point cups that a ball can (and will) get stuck in. We're gonna fill that gap with cut to shape foam to prevent balls from getting wedged, so it's a minor issue, but as packaged it's an issue. 6) this is not really a quibble, because it is exactly as described and the size is necessary for what it is, but this is a big long and awkward piece of furniture to move around. We had to move everything else out of the room it now sits in to manuver it for assembly. Once in place, everything went back in place and its fine, but I HIGHLY advise that you assemble it in close proximity to where you plan to place it. Quibbles aside, this is a great home unit that gives you skee ball play without the bulk/cost of an authentic arcade unit. I'm quite happy to have a skeeball table in my arcade area.

We purchased the Roll & Score for our 5/7/10 year olds for Christmas because it was our favorite game growing up. This was the nicest looking one on the market and a fair price. It was in great shape when delivered on time. The crew on the truck said they could not deliver it to the basement even tho we paid the extra money to do so. They were very nice and ultimately did it with our help. Assembly definitely took over two hours with two people. Pros: looks very nice, sound is great, we have fun playing each other. Improvement areas: I wish the balls would drop underneath the holes like at the arcade. Instead if you miss a hole they come right back at you on the ramp. The balls are rubber and are very wobbly/not round. So it’s totally random if they go in vs skill. We purchased wood balls but they are not perfectly round and are very loud. The holes are plastic and I would hope they’d be metal at this price point. My 5 year old is a little small for it but my older kids are the right height. This is a great product to have while the kids are young and maybe one day we will invest in a real arcade version. Everyone loves it who come to visit and it is fun to play as a family!

The actual game itself is great. The interaction with the display and the controls is awful, which takes most of the enjoyment out of it. There is no volume control, so you turn the machine on and it blasts you out. The only option is to turn the sound off, but you have to turn it on first before you can turn the sound off, and by then your ears are ringing. Furthermore, if you turn the sound off, you don't know what mode you are in (single or 2-person), and whose turn it is. I feel they could have invested another $10 in a better control which would have made this a great game. After spending hours putting it together and spending more than $800, we don't use it now because it is just so loud and annoying. I even tried to cover the speaker or disconnect it (it disconnects the scoring as well). I would pay additional money for a solution to this.

I got this for my wife for her birthday to help her practice for her local skee ball league (yes, that's a thing!). Delivery was set up efficiently through a local company and the game arrived in a large box on a pallet. We wanted to put it upstairs and could not get the box up in one piece, but it was easy enough to unbox on the ground floor and move the components individually. Assembly was fairly straightforward. The instructions are for the most part clear with well labeled parts and hardware, though there was one step for which the picture was a little confusing. Customer service was easily accessible and helpful. I'm glad I had a power drill to run in the screws; it would have been much more challenging by hand. A couple of screws were hard to reach but I managed. The final assembly is sturdy and looks nice. The game itself works as advertised. There are flashing lights, a running score for a 1- or 2-player game, and an announcement with scores which is very, very, very loud. We may put a towel over the speaker to dampen it a bit. As others have said, the balls are a little flimsy rubber and not solid wooden balls as you'd find at an arcade, but they work fine and cause less damage when thrown errantly by a child. The deck is also a little higher than a normal skee ball game, but our 5-year-old can play fine with a little step stool.

This has been a really fun addition to our basement. The game came in a huge box, but my husband and I easily carried it to the basement. Assembly took a few hours. One of the pieces was broken, but we contacted the number for customer service and they sent a new part immediately. It arrived in a few days. It’s a very nice looking, well made game. We have had a lot of fun playing skee ball as a family and it’s great for all ages.

The pieces arrived scratched and don’t fit together well. Shipping experience was not great. Also, the material used often doesn’t have pre drilled holes and is brittle. The instructions are very clear and the pieces were all labeled well, but the overall design is poor and could be engineered for easier construction and longer life of the product. Feels very cheap, even though it is very heavy. Overall I wouldn’t purchase this one again.

Such a fun thing to have in our rec room! It wasn’t too difficult to out together. Is very heavy though and definitely need two strong people to complete. Our family loves ski ball and you can play one or two player games! It is VERY loud and especially in our basement so we have to be ready for the noise before we play!! The aesthetic is beautiful yet still a fun game table!

This is a high quality well made game machine. Money well spent. Plays great. Perfect for any game room. Important, this game is extremely heavy, spend the 20 bucks for Amazon’s in room delivery (even the packaging weighs a lot) It is somewhat complex to build but the instructions were great and after about 5 hours of assembly everything worked out great.
