Jeannie aks, "We are considering getting a foosball table for my family for Christmas. Can you recommend one for family use AND also give me the dimensions? I can't seem to find any online and need to see if it will fit ok in our basement. Thanks so much!"

Your Table Consultant replies, "If you are still researching a foosball table... take a look at our buying guide located at this link,   In addition to the 'table dimensions' and 'room/space' needed for a table, it has some other good stuff that you may find helpful in your search for your families first foosball table"

Notes from the link...

Physical dimensions of a full size foosball table cabinet are appox Lengh of 56" and Width of 30".
Don't forget that the rods stick out on the sides and players need room.  Minimum suggested playing area - 7 foot by 8 foot.  That'll give you a little over a foot at each end of the table and almost 3 feet on the sides for players in competitive position.  For big kids, a little more room would be recommended.
A 10 foot by 10 foot area is ideal, until the crowd starts to gather then you might need to setup some bleachers!
