Pool Table Review: The Wheaton - Playcraft's Latest Gem for Your Game Room

Posted by Tyler Leach, Director of Marketing on May 21st 2025

If you're seeking a pool table that marries traditional elegance with surprising build quality and a customer-friendly assembly, you'll want to read on. We're breaking down everything from its sturdy construction to its stunning aesthetics and overall value – let's dive into what makes the Wheaton a standout choice for your home.

Build Quality

The Wheaton truly shines here! We were thoroughly impressed with its robust internal frame construction, featuring a clever slot-and-bolt design for a super durable structure. The one-piece leg units are a major plus, making for a surprisingly sturdy foundation. Our team rated its build quality a solid 8 out of 10! ?

Aesthetics & Features

Prepare to be charmed! The Wheaton's double arches and aprons add a refined, classical touch that perfectly complements its well-designed legs and frame. The hand-brushed finish (not painted or stamped!) looks absolutely stunning in a room setting. For its undeniable beauty and thoughtful design, we give it an 8 out of 10! ?

Ease of Assembly

This is where our installation pros really gave it a thumbs up! The Wheaton was one of the easiest tables they've put together, thanks to that clever slot feature and the way the legs bolt to the frame. It's a traditional style table, which often means quicker installs, and the Wheaton delivered. We're happy to rate its ease of assembly an 8 out of 10! ?️

Value

At $4795 on our website, the Wheaton offers fantastic value, especially if you're looking for a classical-style slate table with a solid wood cabinet. While not the absolute best value across all tables, for its specific niche, it stands out as one of the top contenders. We rated its value an 8 out of 10! ?

Brand Review

Our experience with Playcraft has generally been positive – they're quick to respond and ship. However, one key factor impacted their rating for this table: the 5-year warranty. While still good, most tables in our industry offer a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturer defects. Because of this, we've given Playcraft a 7 out of 10 for this table's brand review.

Ultimately, the Wheaton is a beautiful and well-built classical table from Playcraft that offers great value.
