Hathaway Fairmont 6-ft Portable Pool Table
Fold It Out, Play Immediately — A Portable Pool Table That Sets Up in Minutes and Stores Away Just as Fast
The Hathaway Fairmont 6-ft brings a poly-sealed playfield, fast-action cushions, and a complete accessory kit to apartments, bonus rooms, and anywhere else a traditional pool table won't fit or won't stay.
The Hathaway Fairmont 6-ft Portable Pool Table (model BG2574) is a folding billiard table built for people who want real pool in spaces that don't have room for a permanent setup. Rigid 1.25-in diameter steel legs fold flat for storage and lock firmly upright for play — no assembly tools, no bolted-together frame. A poly-sealed MDF playfield wrapped in blended polyester/wool blue felt delivers smooth, consistent ball roll, while 5-in matte black melamine top rails with round sights and fast-action L-cushions keep the game feeling snappy and accurate. The included rip-resistant nylon carry bag means you can stow it in a closet or take it to a friend's place without hassle. Everything you need to play — cues, balls, chalk, triangle, and brush — is already in the box.
Key Features & Benefits
The Fairmont is designed around a single idea: the best pool table for your life is one you'll actually use — and that means one you can set up fast, store easily, and play anywhere.
Pre-Attached Folding Steel Legs
The rigid 1.25-in diameter steel legs come pre-attached to the table and fold flat for storage. No assembly tools needed — unfold the legs, lock them in place, level the table, and you're playing. Reverse the process to store it in a closet or car.
MDF Playfield with Blended Felt
The 0.6-in MDF play surface is poly-sealed for flatness and durability, then wrapped in blended polyester/wool blue felt. The result is smooth, predictable ball speed and true roll — the kind of consistency that makes casual games feel satisfying and practice feel productive.
Fast-Action Bumper Rebounds
Fast-action L-cushion bumpers keep rebounds lively and consistent, so bank shots and kicks feel responsive rather than dead. The round rail sights on the 5-in matte black top rails give you clear visual reference for lining up cuts and banks.
Stabilizing Leg Levelers
Adjustable 1.5-in leg levelers on each leg let you fine-tune the table height on imperfect floors, keeping the playfield flat and the cue ball rolling where you aim it — not where the floor wants it to go.
Rip-Resistant Nylon for Storage & Transport
The included rip-resistant nylon carry bag protects the table during storage and makes it genuinely portable — closet one week, friend's game room the next. No improvised wrapping, no scratched cabinet.
Complete Billiards Accessory Set
Two 48-in two-piece cues, a full set of 2.25-in billiard balls, racking triangle, cue chalk, and table brush are all included. Open the box, unfold the legs, and play — nothing extra to buy.
Chrome Corner Castings & Rope Net Pockets — Details That Elevate the Experience
Chrome-plated corner castings give the Fairmont a polished, finished look that reads more premium than its compact price suggests. The rope net drop pockets keep balls corralled cleanly after each shot, adding a satisfying visual detail that flat plastic pockets can't match. These are the finishing touches that make the difference between a table that feels like a toy and one that feels like a piece of game room furniture worth showing off.
Who the Hathaway Fairmont Is For

- Anyone who hosts casually — pull it out for a gathering, fold it away when it's over. A pool table that doesn't ask for a permanent commitment to the hobby.

Hathaway Fairmont 6-ft — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this table "portable" — does it fold up completely?
Yes. The steel legs are pre-attached and fold flat against the underside of the table, so the whole unit collapses into a compact, transportable form. The included rip-resistant nylon carry bag holds the folded table and protects it during storage or transport. You don't need to disassemble anything — just fold the legs in, bag it, and go.
Do I need any tools to set it up?
No assembly tools are required. The legs come pre-attached to the table and lock into the playing position without tools. Hathaway recommends having a level on hand to confirm the table is flat before you start playing — the 1.5-in leg levelers allow you to adjust each corner independently until the surface is true.
What are the full dimensions, and how much room do I need to play?
The table measures 76 in long × 43.25 in wide × 32 in tall (approximately 193 cm × 110 cm × 81 cm). The playfield is 66 in × 33 in. Because the included cues are 48 in long, you need enough clearance on all sides to swing a full cue stroke. A room approximately 10 ft × 13 ft provides comfortable playing clearance, though your exact need depends on furniture placement and how close walls sit to the table ends and sides.
What is the playfield made of, and how does it affect ball roll?
The playfield is 0.6-in MDF that has been poly-sealed to create a flat, stable, moisture-resistant surface. It's wrapped in a blended polyester/wool blue felt. The poly seal keeps the MDF from absorbing humidity and warping, which preserves flatness over time. The blended felt provides smooth, consistent ball speed — fast enough to feel lively, predictable enough to aim accurately.
What type of cushions does the Fairmont use, and how do they play?
The Fairmont uses fast-action bumper L-cushions. The L-profile is designed to provide a lively, responsive rebound — bank shots and kicks come back with consistent energy rather than dying off the rail. This cushion style suits casual and family play well, keeping the game fast and fun.
How stable is the table during play — will it wobble or shift?
The legs are rigid 1.25-in diameter steel — not thin tubular legs that flex under load. When unfolded and locked, they create a stable base. The 1.5-in adjustable leg levelers let you dial in each corner on an uneven floor, eliminating rocking. On a level, hard floor surface the table feels solid during normal play. As with any folding table, aggressive leaning or impact on the frame is not recommended.
What accessories are included?
The Fairmont includes two 48-in two-piece pool cues, a full set of 2.25-in billiard balls (16 balls total — 15 object balls and 1 cue ball), a racking triangle, cue chalk, a table brush, and the rip-resistant nylon carry bag. Everything needed to play pool is in the box.
Can this table be used outdoors or in a garage?
No. Hathaway specifies indoor use only. Outdoor conditions — humidity, temperature swings, rain, and UV exposure — will damage the MDF playfield, warp the felt, and degrade the steel hardware. Garages with significant temperature variation are also a risk. Keep the Fairmont in a temperature-controlled indoor space for the best long-term performance and to keep the warranty valid.
What does the carry bag protect against, and does it fit the full table?
The rip-resistant nylon carry bag is sized to hold the Fairmont when its legs are folded flat. It protects the cabinet finish and felt from scratches, dust, and incidental moisture during storage or transport. It is not a waterproof case and should not be used to store the table in wet or outdoor environments.
What is the Hathaway Fairmont warranty, and how do I make a claim?
The Fairmont is covered by Hathaway's 180-day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original retail purchase date. It covers residential use only and is nontransferable. To make a claim, contact the retailer where you purchased the table with your proof of purchase, model number (BG2574), and any relevant part numbers from the assembly manual. Shipping costs for parts or returns under warranty are the buyer's responsibility. You can also contact Hathaway directly at warranty@bluewaveproducts.com or (800) 759-0977.
Is this table suitable for children?
The Fairmont is intended for general family play. The billiard balls and small accessories present a choking hazard for children under 3 years old. For older children and teens, the table is a great option — the 6-ft playfield and included cues are manageable for younger players, and the folding design keeps the table safely stored when not in use. Adult supervision is always recommended for young players.
How does the Fairmont compare to a fixed-pedestal table like the Hathaway Spartan?
The key difference is portability versus permanence. The Fairmont has folding steel legs and a carry bag — it sets up and stores away quickly, making it ideal for multi-use rooms or smaller homes. The Spartan uses a fixed pedestal base and also includes a removable table tennis top, making it a better choice if you want a more permanent game room centerpiece with a second sport built in. Both are 6-ft indoor tables with similar playfield sizes; your choice comes down to whether you value fold-away storage or a dual-game setup.
How do I care for the blue felt?
Brush the felt regularly with the included table brush, always sweeping in one direction from head to foot. Keep food and beverages off the playing surface. When the table is stored in the carry bag, the felt is protected from dust. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the cloth over time. Hathaway's warranty does not cover scratching or damage from normal use, so take care with cue tips and chalk near the surface.
Where can I get replacement parts?
Hathaway (Blue Wave Products) maintains a retail parts program. Call their consumer hotline at (800) 759-0977 or visit bluewaveproducts.com/pages/parts with your model number (BG2574) and the part numbers from the assembly manual.
