Thank you so much for this text!! Let me try this out, appreciate the help!

Finally got around to doing the upgrade. 6 down. 4 more to go.

 

[chipinla]

Upgrade complete!

By the way, Walmart has raised the prices on the Barringtons.

Just seeing this sorry! I wouldn’t flip it over. With the table upright, start turning the turnbuckle one way.
If it helps level it, keep going.
If it doesn’t help, turn the turnbuckle the other way until the table is level to your liking.

If you are asking how to turn a turnbuckle, just grasp it and continuously twist it in the plane of the cables one way or the other to tighten or loosen it.

Most I've paid for a Barrington was $160 from Walmart. I also was part of the Wayfair (I think it was Wayfair) deal where they were listed for $90 with shipping. Crazy.

Wow. I remember getting mine for $99 with free shipping

Wow. I remember getting mine for $99 with free shipping

Yup, I think mine was $179 about 2 years ago

 

[chipinla]

TBH, if I didn’t know better it’s still a great table for $399

 

[mugenpowr]

Wow. I remember getting mine for $99 with free shipping

Good deal. I bought mine for $94.72

 

[Tarsus4]

Mine from Walmart.com just a month ago was $250 shipped. Great value even at that price, sad to see it go up. Maybe Costco will have a restocked deal in the $300 range for the holidays.

The Barrington with LED lights at Walmart dropped back down to $299 today. Anyone's guess how long this price lasts.

They also have the one without LED lights for $249.

Amazon.ca seems to have a really great deal today. I assume this is the standard table where the felt can be adjusted? Does anyone have this version of the table?

Nice, will get one of the two, do people tend to like the LED one more or find it annoying? Going to be getting an rjdev custom topper if it makes a difference.

The LED one is preferable, as it has heavier duty legs and a thicker plywood deck. It adds 20 lbs to an already fairly heavy table, but I think it’s worth it. Even if you never use the LEDs, it’s worth the upgrade.

I think that’s the standard Barrington, but that may be an older picture, not sure.
They had that blue felt a while back and have been producing the one with the brown felt for the last couple of years:

I would verify if considering.

I have the brown table, it is plenty sturdy. I debated this when I ordered but I'm glad I went with the lighter one, it's already just borderline too heavy for one person to set-up/collapse or move more than a few feet.

I believe the brown table is the same as the blue table. Amazon has the blue table (for $60 more) and it seems to match specs.

I also have the Brown table, it's plenty sturdy and plenty heavy for me.

Pros and cons to both, but as someone who has to set up and breakdown for every game, I find my non-LED “brown felt/black rail” version rock solid and at about the limit of what I can work with while also ensuring I don’t drop it or break it. That and a good overhead light suits my needs. I use this lamp from IKEA—$105 without the shade (I had one to use) or $130 with it (shade sold separately).

***SEEKING CUP HOLDERS***
As an aside, if anyone has some of the original “small/short” cup holders you want to sell, I’d be interested.

BLACK is preferred and came some models, but stainless is a solid second choice.

Get a topper

 

[curlyhead44]

Get a topper

Absolutely, waiting for it to come to measure before ordering from @rjdev7, not sure if that’s still relevant / saw it in older posts maybe when the measurement was changing but want to be sure

Man just opened up my Barrington 10 person table and the rail / padding on one side is ~1 cm off! Whole point of getting this is not have to DIY anything other than getting a custom table topper xD. Tell me if im being OCD in being bothered by this lol

Not OCD. I'd be steamed if it came brand new out of the box like that.

I haven't paid much attention since I picked one up last Christmas but thinking about another. What's the lowest the LED version has been in the last 6 months?
