Shuffleboard Facts

In June of 1949 it was estimated that over 500 Shuffleboards were in operation in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area alone. While shuffleboard may not seem to be as popular as in the past, it continues to be a game for all ages – from the young to the old, regardless of your strength.

Shuffleboard Sizes

 Shuffleboard tables range in size from 9 to 22 feet in length, 16 to 20 inches in width and the thickness of the board ranges from 1.5 inches to 3 inches. You can have fun on any size shuffleboard. When purchasing a shuffleboard table, you want to consider the size of your room. You want to leave at least 2 feet on each end of the table in order to stand comfortably and play the game. Shuffleboard tables are measured by the outside over- all length of the cabinet, not the board, so a 14 foot table is exactly 14 feet long.

Shuffleboard Styles

Shuffleboard tables come in many different woods and styles to fit any decor. The price is reflective mostly of the materials used. Hard Maple wood costs more than Birch or soft maple, while a solid wood cabinet is more expensive than one made with veneers and laminates. The most important part is the board or plank so you want to make sure it is a professional plank or well manufactured board. If the shuffleboard surface can not be adjusted or will not stay true, you will not be happy in the long term. Shuffleboard Tables come in contemporary to traditional designs at all price ranges.
