Yes. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout.

Our direct business model allows us to offer very competitive prices. You will pay less for a handcrafted shuffleboard table compared to a factory-produced one. While shipping is not free, we do not incorporate the cost into the product price like many ecomerce sites do. This is because shipping costs can vary significantly depending on the destination. For instance, shipping an $8,000 shuffleboard table may cost us $500 to the Midwest, $1,200 to the East Coast, and up to $1,500 to the West Coast.

We believe it is unfair to inflate our prices to cover shipping costs, as this would mean that customers in lower-rate zones would effectively subsidize those in higher-rate zones. Our goal is to treat everyone equally and ensure that the price you pay reflects the quality of the shuffleboard table, rather than inflated prices intended to cover "free shipping" costs.

Every handcrafted McClure Shuffleboard Table comes with curbside shipping. Additionally, McClure Tables offers home delivery of shuffleboard tables at checkout, with prices varying by model, size, and whether stairs are involved.

Shuffleboard tables are quite heavy. We ship the cabinets in separate boxes, placed on top of a wooden crate that contains the playboard. Typically, two people can easily handle the cabinets with the legs packed inside, which usually weigh around 200 pounds. However, the playboard, along with the wooden crate, can weigh between 400 and 800 pounds, with about half of that weight coming from the crate itself.

In the continental USA, shipping costs range from $285 to $1,850, depending on the table's size and the delivery zone. Please see our shipping rates here.

Yes, we do. Please email or call us at 616-662-5974 for a quote. The buyer is responsible for local duties, but the actual shipping costs, usually from port to port, are often not much higher than domestic shipping.

Accessory products are typically shipped within one business day. Please allow up to five additional business days for transit. All prices for accessory products include UPS Ground shipping within the continental United States and are calculated at Checkout here.

Custom tables take 6-10 weeks to build and are made to order. In Stock tables generally ship within 3 days of the order. We ship most of our tables with Zip Express, a specialized direct point-to-point carrier. The shipping time is usually 3-5 days for most locations. Read more here about our first-class shipping.

For all but the shortest shuffleboard tables, the playing surfaces and cabinets are packaged separately but shipped together. The playboard, where the pucks slide, is handcrafted and uses materials superior to those found on many competitors' tables. Please repurpose these materials for any side projects you may be working on.

Answer: No, installation is quite simple. Each Shuffleboard Table comes with a set of installation instructions that you can find on the product pages below the description. 

For detailed information, see this link on setting up and installing a Shuffleboard Table.

Yes! We offer a service to install and set up your Shuffleboard Table. We do many in Michigan and can contract with people in other areas to do it for you. However, if you read the page above, you can see it is easy to do yourself. You may want to engage a local moving company to handle the heavy lifting. 

Yes, you can place a Shuffleboard Table in a covered sunroom. However, be aware that the board may undergo slight shape changes, such as becoming convex or concave, due to seasonal variations. These changes can be easily adjusted using the climate adjusters, which are designed to ensure the board performs to your preferences. For most users, a Shuffleboard Table in a climate-controlled home will maintain consistency. In a sunroom with higher humidity during the summer, you may need to loosen the adjusters, while during the dry winter months, tightening may be necessary. Please note that we do not currently manufacture outdoor tables. 

You need to inspect your room access carefully. Because everything we build is made to order. We have also had to make two-piece 12-foot cabinets and three-piece 22-foot cabinets to accommodate limited access to the room. Additionally, we have videos available that provide more information on moving the tables. You might see this blog post here showing a two-piece board going up stairs. The Lexington and Concord models come standard with two-piece cabinets and boards.

All of our 14-foot-long shuffleboard tables have the cabinet in two pieces. We can also make a 12-foot cabinet in two pieces at an extra cost, or split other models into three pieces. We also offer all our tables with the playboard in two pieces if needed.

McClure’s craftsmen cut, carve, fit, and finish each piece by hand, with a sense of pride. We put our name on our tables. We make our tables with the finest hardwoods. Hard rock maple for our playing boards and cabinets is made from maple, cherry, walnut, and other top-shelf woods. We use solid wood legs and all parts, then create the tables ourselves (often with better wood than you will find on imported or factory tables) and ship them to you directly from the shop.

We use only the hardest, locally sourced wood. Learn more about types of wood we source

McClure Tables is based in Michigan, where the hardwood trees are sourced. We are not situated near shipping points that would allow us to import parts at a lower cost, nor are we located in areas of the country with lower labor costs. See a video here about the story of locally harvested hardwood.

The difference is comparable to that between a chef and a cook. A chef sources the best ingredients and has spent years perfecting his craft. He combines those ingredients with his unique style and recipes to create an extraordinary meal. In contrast, a cook goes to the store, buys the ingredients, and follows a recipe, resulting in an ordinary meal.

Like the chef and the cook, factory-made tables often follow a standard recipe. Polymer is a poured, petroleum-based epoxy that is easy to work with and requires no specialized tools. It costs about $50 per gallon and takes about an hour per board to apply. In comparison, the materials we use for our traditional finish cost about $100 per gallon and require a spray booth, along with $15,000 in specialized equipment to mix the two materials at the spray gun. The total process—spraying, curing, sanding between coats, and applying the topcoat—takes about five hours.

It'slike comparing a putt-putt golf course to Augusta National's manicured greens. No two greens arethe same, and the skill of the golfer must adapt to various conditions. On the other hand, factory-made tables often use plastic or synthetic materials, where every surface plays the same role. In shuffleboard,you’renot truly playing on a butcher block;you'replaying on a plexiglass sheet on top of the board.

Many claim to do so, but most shuffleboard tables are imported from China, where hard maple is not available. Most factories are located far from where hard maple grows, such as in Texas, California, or Georgia. Most consumers would never know the difference; if you’re playing on top of plastic, what does it matter? The consumer would never know the difference and a little deceptive marketing helps to sell the product.

Technically, it is a pretty loose term from the FTC guidelines; it is pretty vague. They state that a product's last "substantial transformation" must occur in the U.S., but what qualifies is subjective. Vagueness also arises from the FTC's interpretation of nonverbal cues. Use of the American flag, U.S. maps, or phrases like "True American Quality" and "Created in USA" can be considered "unqualified" origin claims that trigger the same strict standards as an explicit "Made in USA" label. We suspect several Shuffleboard manufacturers who claim their tables are made in the USA both import complete cabinets and may even import the butcher block boards. If they finish the board here, or put the climate adjusters on and stick it in a crate, this is within the loose FTC guidelines. We are also way too small an industry for the FTC to police a small manufacturer making this claim.

We strive to maintain the integrity of the traditional game and the times gone by. Shuffleboards became popular in the late 1940s after World War II, primarily in clubs and VFW halls. The finishing materials used back then were not as durable as those available today. In fact, the tables were made 3 inches thick specifically for maintenance purposes. They anticipated that, with pucks being dropped and other dings, dents, and wear occurring, the table would need to be taken to a shop for sanding and refinishing periodically, removing about 1/8 to 1/4 inch each time.

In the 1970s, after about 30 years of using traditional finish boards, manufacturers discovered a faster and cheaper alternative. With the old traditional board, the heavy 22-foot plank had to be removed from the club, taken back to the shop, and climate adjusters removed before it was sanded. The new method allowed workers to go into the bar, dam up the sides of the board, pour on the epoxy, and wait until the next day. Then, they could take the board outside, leave the adjusters on, trim the edges of the epoxy, bring it back into the club, and have it ready for play. 

Depending on the thickness of the board (either 2" or 3"), a 14' shuffleboard can weigh between 400 and 500 pounds. The cabinet itself typically weighs around 200 to 250 pounds. A 2" board with a cabinet generally weighs between 450 and 600 pounds, while a 3" board with a cabinet can weigh between 700 and 1000 pounds. Keep in mind that weights can vary based on the total length of the board and/or table.

If you’ve never learned how to wax a shuffleboard table, you’ve probably noticed some inconsistencies in your ability to throw a puck. Think back. You’ve just slid the perfect shot, it’s destined to be a hanger, and then all of the sudden… The weight’s momentum dies. Stops. Halts. Fineto. To keep your game flowing like a pro, you’ve got to treat your table like a pro. Learn more about cleaning and waxing your shuffleboard table here

How to wax a shuffleboard table for game play here

The Brown powder is always a little faster and does not drop off in speed as quickly. The base, however, is brown and made with crushed nuts, so if there are any nut allergies in the family, stick to the yellow wax.

After the initial application, you have clumpings and areas of wax powder buildup – and dead spots. You can buy all our wax here

The best practice is to sweep the surface clean with a boardsweepbetween games. From there, you can apply a fresh coat of silicone spray and then add more wax. It is essential to clear away any old wax buildup before reapplying.

If you are using Sun Glo pucks that show signs of wear—such as black spots on the playing surface—it might be because the pucks are worn orthere’stoo much wax on the table. Remember to clean the table between games. Some wax products perform better than others. We recommend trying our specially formulated wax, availablehere.

The puck’s plowing can be attributed to the puck itself—perhaps yours are too flat—or to using an excessive amount of wax. Most players aren't aware that after each game, they should sweep off all the wax powder and apply a fresh, light coat for optimal play. A thinner layer of wax results in less plowing.

The pucks plow because of tracking. Do you have a board sweep? You need to wipe off all the powder and start with a fresh, clean board. Sprinkle on a light coat of wax; once it gets piled up, it starts to plow.
