Hathaway Driftwood 7-ft Air Hockey Combo Table
One Table Does Three Jobs — and the Benches Store Everything Else
Air hockey. Table tennis. Dining. The Hathaway Driftwood 7-ft Combo Table switches between all three in minutes — and the two cushioned storage benches come with it.
The Hathaway Driftwood 7-ft Air Hockey Combo Table (model BG1137H) is a 3-in-1 game table and dining set built for households where floor space matters and game nights happen often. The reversible 2-piece top flips from a high-gloss air hockey playfield to a full table tennis surface, then hides under a dining top when company arrives — no second table needed, no accessories in view. A UL-approved 120V blower powers fast, consistent puck action across the 76.25 x 39.25-inch poly-sealed playing surface, while the in-rail electronic scoring display keeps score without cluttering the table's clean driftwood melamine profile. Two cushioned benches with hydraulic-lift lids and lined interiors keep every striker, puck, paddle, and ball organized and within arm's reach.
Everything That Makes the Driftwood the Right Call
Three games, two benches, one footprint. Here is what earns each of those a spot on the spec sheet.
Air Hockey, Table Tennis, Dining — One Footprint
The reversible 2-piece top transforms the table between all three configurations without moving anything more than a tabletop panel. Air hockey stays ready underneath. Flip it for table tennis, add the dining cover for meals. No additional furniture required, no table shuffling.
120V High-Output Blower — Fast, Consistent Airflow
The premium-grade UL-approved 120V/60Hz blower system keeps the puck floating on a cushion of air across the entire 76.25-inch playing surface. The result is the speed and glide you want from a quality air hockey table — not the sluggish, low-pressure play that undercuts cheaper blowers.
Electronic Scoring Display with Timer
The scoring unit is embedded in the rail — not bolted on top — so the table surface stays clean and unobstructed. The display tracks goals for both sides and counts down the clock, with controls for start, reset, time increment, and sound on/off. Runs on the main 120V power or 4 AA batteries when you want the display without the blower running.
Dual Goal Boxes with Built-In Puck Return
Both goal boxes include a built-in automatic puck return that feeds scored pucks back to the shooter. No stopping, no walking around — gameplay keeps moving, which is exactly how air hockey should feel.
Storage Benches with Cushioned Seats
Both benches include hydraulic hinges that open and close smoothly, lined interior storage for accessories, and cushioned faux-leather seats that coordinate with the driftwood finish. The benches tuck neatly under the table when not in use, keeping the footprint tight and the game room looking organized.
Certified MDF Construction, Driftwood Melamine Finish
The table body and benches are CARB-certified MDF with a driftwood melamine finish — meeting California's stringent formaldehyde emission standards and delivering a natural wood-grain look that fits modern farmhouse, rustic, and transitional spaces without looking like a rec-room prop.
The Playfield That Makes Air Hockey Actually Fun
The air hockey surface is 76.25 inches long, 1.375 inches thick, and finished with a high-gloss, poly-sealed, scratch-resistant coating. The surface is perforated to distribute the blower's airflow evenly from end to end so the puck glides without catching dead spots. Combined with the high-output blower and the dual automatic puck return, it delivers the continuous, fast-paced play that makes air hockey genuinely addictive for kids and adults alike.
Who the Hathaway Driftwood 7-ft Combo Table Is For
- Families who want more than one game in one footprint — air hockey for competitive nights, table tennis for casual play, and a dining surface when the game needs to pause for dinner. All three without buying three tables.
- Homeowners with a multi-use room — the driftwood melamine finish and clean lines look at home in rooms that serve as both game rooms and dining or living spaces, without the rec-room aesthetic that clashes with furniture.
- Buyers who prioritize air hockey quality — the UL-approved high-output blower and automatic puck return distinguish this from lower-tier combo tables that compromise air hockey performance to hit a price point.
- Game room organizers — two hydraulic-lift storage benches mean strikers, pucks, paddles, and balls have a home that isn't the floor, a drawer, or the corner of another room.
- Shoppers comparing 7-ft air hockey combo sets with benches — the Driftwood's CARB-certified construction, in-rail electronic scoring, and complete accessory kit make it a complete package rather than a base table that needs supplementing.
- Entertainers who host families or large groups — the bench seating accommodates players and spectators comfortably, and the quick conversion between modes keeps the energy going without setup delays.

Hathaway Driftwood 7-ft Combo Table — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I switch between air hockey, table tennis, and dining?
The table uses a reversible 2-piece top that sits over the air hockey playfield. One side of the top is the table tennis playing surface; the other side is a flat dining surface. To switch from air hockey: place the 2-piece top over the playfield with the desired surface facing up. To go back to air hockey: remove the top panels and store them (or lean them against a wall). Switchovers take only a few minutes with no tools.
How much room do I need for this table?
The table itself is 84 inches long by 47 inches wide. For comfortable air hockey play, allow 10–11 feet of end-to-end clearance in the room (accounting for players standing at each end). For table tennis, the BGA Sport-standard playing distance is greater — competitive play recommends additional clearance, though casual play can work in less. Width-wise, plan for at least 6–7 feet to allow comfortable movement on both sides.
Does the table need to be plugged in to play air hockey?
Yes — the air hockey blower requires a standard 120V household outlet. Without the blower running, the puck will not float and air hockey is not playable. The in-rail electronic scoring display can run on either the main 120V power or 4 AA batteries (not included), so you can keep score without the blower if needed — for example, during table tennis — but the blower itself always requires the power outlet.
What is the automatic puck return and how does it work?
Both goal boxes include a built-in automatic puck return channel. When a puck enters the goal, it travels through the return channel and exits at the side of the table near the scoring player, ready to be put back into play immediately. This keeps gameplay continuous without either player walking around the table to retrieve scored pucks.
How does the in-rail electronic scoring work?
The electronic scoring display is embedded in the side rail so it does not protrude from the table surface. It shows scores for both players and a countdown timer, with push-button controls for start, reset, time adjustment, and sound on/off. The display runs on 120V main power or 4 AA batteries (not included). Goals are tracked manually by pressing the score button — the system does not auto-detect pucks entering the goal.
What accessories are included for each game?
Air hockey: 4 black strikers and 4 red pucks. Table tennis: 2 paddles, 2 balls, and a clamp-on net with posts. Dining: the reversible top panel functions as the dining surface — no additional accessories needed. All accessories store in the two bench cabinets.
How do the storage benches work?
Each bench has a cushioned faux-leather seat that lifts open on hydraulic hinges — so the lid stays open while you reach in, without needing to hold it up. Inside, the storage compartment is lined and large enough to hold all three games' accessories. The benches slide under the table when not in use, maintaining a compact footprint.
Is this table CARB certified, and why does that matter?
Yes. The MDF used in this table meets CARB (California Air Resources Board) Phase 2 formaldehyde emission standards — among the strictest indoor air quality standards for composite wood products in the US. This certification is worth noting for households with children or anyone sensitive to indoor air quality, particularly in enclosed spaces like finished basements.
How hard is this table to assemble, and what tools are needed?
Hathaway rates assembly at approximately 60 minutes. You will need a socket-head wrench and a screwdriver — both are commonly available; check the manual to confirm whether they are included or need to be sourced separately. Two adults are recommended for maneuvering the table body and attaching legs. The illustrated manual covers the full assembly process step by step.
Can I use this table on an uneven floor?
Yes. The Driftwood has 1.5-inch independent adjustable leg levelers that let you compensate for uneven floors. For air hockey in particular, a level playing surface is important — even a slight tilt will affect puck drift. Use a standard level on the playfield after initial setup and fine-tune the levelers before play.
What is the warranty on the Hathaway Driftwood?
The Hathaway Driftwood is covered by Hathaway's 180-day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, honored directly by the manufacturer. To make a claim, have your proof of purchase, the model number (BG1137H), and the relevant part number(s) from the assembly manual ready. Normal wear, commercial use, and misuse are not covered. Deck & Den is an authorized Hathaway dealer and can help facilitate warranty claims.
Can I order replacement parts?
Yes. Hathaway / Blue Wave Products maintains a retail parts program. Contact Blue Wave customer service at 1-800-759-0977 (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm CST) with your model number (BG1137H) and the part number from the assembly manual's parts list.
Will this ship to my home, and how does delivery work?
Yes. Deck & Den ships the Hathaway Driftwood free to addresses in the contiguous 48 states. Due to the table's size and weight, delivery is via freight carrier. Orders typically process within 1–3 business days. Contact Deck & Den at 1-833-283-2233 or info@deckandden.com for delivery timelines and to coordinate receiving — freight deliveries require someone on-site to accept and inspect the shipment.

Yes. Deck & Den accepts returns within 45 days of delivery. Review the full return policy at deckandden.com/pages/returns for conditions and instructions, or call 1-833-283-2233.
