The Lanai outdoor pool table by American Heritage is a sleek, modern, and durable option that's designed to withstand the elements. 

Let's get into reviewing the Lanai.

Durability: A Perfect 10

When it comes to building quality and materials, the Lanai table earns a perfect 10 out of 10. This is an exceptional score, making it one of the highest-rated pool tables for durability. The table is constructed almost entirely of steel, including stainless steel bolts. The only wood component is the backing of the slate. It's powder-coated and all materials are weatherproof, ensuring it can endure rain, sleet, or snow without issues like rust. Whether it's placed uncovered outdoors or on a screened-in porch, this table is built to last for an extremely long time, potentially even generationally.

Aesthetics and Features: A Solid 8

The Lanai boasts a beautifully designed, sleek, and modern aesthetic. It aligns perfectly with current home decor trends, featuring a combination of black and white with subtle wood accents. A notable design element is the embossed black logo on one end, which adds a sophisticated pop.

One of its additional features is the dining top option, which is lightweight and convenient. While the table itself is relatively light for a pool table, its design is straightforward, focusing on the legs, rails, and felt color. For its contemporary and minimalist appeal, the Lanai earns an 8 out of 10 in aesthetics.

Ease of Assembly: A Surprising 4

For installers and professionals, the ease of assembly for the Lanai receives a 4 out of 10. While the pieces are simple to understand, the assembly involves a large number of hex-head bolts of varying sizes for different parts of the table (legs, frame).

Additionally, a unique aspect is the glued felt on the rails, secured with a feather strip, rather than the traditional stapling method. While different, installers found this process to be simpler than anticipated, especially concerning stretching corners. However, the sheer volume and variety of bolts are the primary reasons for the lower score in this category.

Value for Your Money: An Excellent 8

Priced around $5,500, including outdoor all-weather felt, the Lanai offers excellent value, earning an 8 out of 10. Considering its exceptional durability and longevity, this table is a wise investment. Its versatility allows it to be used in either indoor or outdoor settings, making it ideal for pool houses, covered porches, or any area where you want to add entertainment and enhance your landscape. Its robust build quality ensures a long lifespan, making it a great purchase for those seeking a high-quality, enduring pool table.

Brand Review: American Heritage - A Reliable 9

American Heritage, the manufacturer of the Lanai, consistently receives high marks for their customer service and responsiveness. They earned a 9 out of 10 for their brand rating. The reviewer specifically noted a personal experience where a wrong-colored leg was shipped (green instead of white). American Heritage promptly sent a replacement white leg within days, demonstrating their commitment to quick problem resolution. This level of efficiency and willingness to fix issues quickly makes them a highly dependable brand.

Overall Score: 39/50

The Lanai outdoor pool table by American Heritage achieved an overall score of 39 out of 50. While this was slightly lower than initial expectations, primarily due to the complex assembly process, it remains a highly recommended product. Its outstanding durability, great value for money, and suitability for all weather elements make it an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a high-quality outdoor or indoor pool table.
