Game Tables 4 Less is based in Boca Raton, Florida. "All [they] sell is fun”, with lots of ways to make your rec room more entertaining - from shuffleboard tables to arcade-style basketball games and more. But, the company is pretty tight-lipped about its background, so unfortunately we can't tell you too much about how long they've been in business or how they got their start.

Prices may be lower than what you see

Nonetheless, the inventory of air hockey tables at Game Tables 4 Less is pretty impressive, with about three dozen options. You won't find any rinky-dink tabletop/portable "toy” models here: your options start at $949 for several 13-in-1 combination tables and go up to a couple of models by Dynamo with a list price of $4,995 but designated as "prices too low to list”. The company promises to give you the lowest prices in the US, "guaranteed”, and you're encouraged to reach out via phone or email if you see your favorite air hockey table at another retailer's site for less.

Unique table designs available

We spotted a couple of table designs we really liked here. Our first choice was the Atomic Indiglo 7.5' Lighted Air Hockey Table ($1,399.99), with LED lights not just in the table but also the strikers and the pucks. If we were setting up a game room for teenagers (or even young-at-heart grownups), this would be an awesome addition (or even the centerpiece). Our second favorite at Game Tables 4 Less was the novel design of Great American's Boom-A-Rang ($3,685): players stand side-by-side, and the table only takes up 5 sq.ft. so you can tuck it into a corner or against a wall to save floor space.

Free shipping... sort of

How about shipping? Here's where it gets confusing: on most of the air hockey tables we clicked on, it says that the price includes "free curbside shipping” within the lower 48 United States. Great! But, when you go to select the delivery options, it says that it's only free if you take the box off the truck. Say what? If you want the Lift Gate Service (to get the air hockey table off the truck), it costs an extra $75. And, if you need it to be carried into your house and/or set up, you'll have to call for a quote for some tables; others showed a price of $400+ for that service.

Open box? No refund for you

The return policy is even less generous. Game Tables 4 Less will only accept return requests on air hockey tables with unopened boxes: if you open the box, assemble the table, or use it in any way, you're 100% out of luck. And, even if you haven't opened the box (maybe you have buyer's remorse?), you'll be responsible for the actual shipping costs both ways (you'll reimburse the company for the free shipping you received) and your refund will have a 30% restocking charge deducted. Ouch.

Bad grade from the BBB and few recent reviews

We're also not thrilled to report that Game Tables 4 Less has an "F” rating from the Better Business Bureau - the same grade it had the last time we looked into this retailer. There were only 3 complaints filed against the company in the last three years (not so bad), but Game Tables 4 Less had failed to respond to all of them (not so good). Beyond that, it's hard to find much recent feedback from customers of this store. We found thousands of ratings through a well-known auction site, but even there, the reviews were mostly from several years ago. It doesn't feel like this company is doing a very brisk business for air hockey tables or anything else.

Get your air hockey table somewhere else

You've got some really great options for getting an air hockey table, but we wouldn't say that this store is one of them. Despite having a broader inventory than many of the retailers on our list, Game Tables 4 Less doesn't have much of a reputation to speak of. And, given that the models they sell will almost undoubtedly be found in the selection of several higher-ranked retailers on our list, Game Tables 4 Less gets a "don't bother” rating from us.
