Hathaway Spartan 6-ft Pool Table with Table Tennis Top
Two Games, One Compact Table — Billiards and Table Tennis Without Giving Up the Room
The Hathaway Spartan 6-ft fits where full-size tables won't, then flips to table tennis in seconds — no second table, no extra footprint.
The Hathaway Spartan 6-ft Pool Table with Table Tennis Top (model BG50310) is a multi-game billiard table designed for family game rooms, basement rec spaces, and any room that deserves more fun than it has floor space. A black melamine-coated engineered wood cabinet sits on sturdy pedestal legs with 3.5-in adjustable levelers, delivering a flat, true-rolling red felt playfield in a 72 in × 38 in × 31 in footprint. Lift on the lightweight, removable table tennis top and you have a second game — billiards one night, ping pong the next — all from the same table, in the same spot.
Key Features & Benefits
Every detail of the Spartan is built around one goal: real game-room fun in the space you actually have.
Pool Table + Table Tennis, One Footprint
The lightweight, removable table tennis top converts the Spartan from billiards to ping pong in seconds — no second table competing for floor space, and the felt stays protected when you're in table tennis mode.
Space-Smart 6-ft Design
A compact 72 in × 38 in × 31 in exterior fits rooms where a 7- or 8-ft table simply won't, while the 64 in × 30 in playfield keeps banking and positioning shots genuinely satisfying.
Levelers for a Dead-Flat Playing Surface
Adjustable 3.5-in leg levelers on the pedestal-style base compensate for uneven floors, so the cue ball rolls true and every game plays fair — whether your floor is perfect or not.
Inlayed Sights & Chrome Corner Caps
Wide 4-in top rails with inlayed sights give you the visual reference points for banking and position play, while chrome-finished corner caps add a clean, polished look to the black cabinet.
Complete Accessory Set Included
Pool cues, billiard ball set, triangle, chalk, and rail brush cover the billiards side. Table tennis net and posts, two paddles, and two balls cover the ping pong side. Open the box, assemble, and play.
Assembly Without the Frustration
Hathaway rates assembly at approximately 60 minutes with a Phillips-head screwdriver and a level — two adults recommended, but the process is straightforward and the manual covers every step.
Built to Handle Everyday Family Play
The Spartan's cabinet is constructed from engineered wood with a black melamine finish — the same surface treatment you find on furniture pieces built to take daily use without showing it. It resists scuffs from cue tips and the occasional paddle edge, wipes clean easily, and holds its color without fading. Pedestal-style legs with full end panels give the base structural rigidity, so the table doesn't shimmy during fast breaks or aggressive rally play. This is a table designed to be used every day by kids, teens, and adults alike — not one that needs to be handled carefully to stay looking good.

Who the Hathaway Spartan Is For
- Families with kids who want variety — billiards teaches patience and geometry; table tennis burns energy fast. The Spartan delivers both without requiring two separate tables or two dedicated zones.
- Apartment and condo dwellers — the 72 in × 38 in footprint fits bonus rooms, finished basements, and living areas where a 7- or 8-ft table is simply out of the question.
- First-time pool table buyers — clean lines, a complete accessory kit, and a manageable assembly time make this an easy, low-intimidation way to add a billiard table to your home.
- Game room builders on a smart budget — getting a dedicated pool table and a dedicated ping pong table costs more and takes up more room; the Spartan covers both in one footprint.
- Hosts who entertain casually — guests who don't play pool competitively will enjoy casual billiards and fast ping pong rallies equally; having both options means everyone finds a game.
- Parents setting up a play space — the indoor-only, residential-grade construction and complete accessory set means kids can start playing on day one, right out of the box.

Hathaway Spartan 6-ft — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the overall dimensions of the Spartan 6-ft pool table?
The table measures 72 in long × 38 in wide × 31 in tall (approximately 183 cm × 97 cm × 79 cm). The playfield itself is 64 in × 30 in. When the table tennis top is in place, it covers the full 72 in × 38 in exterior of the table.
How much room do I need around the table to play comfortably?
You need enough clear space on all sides to swing a pool cue comfortably. A standard 48-in or 52-in cue requires at least 4–5 ft of clearance on each side and each end of the table. The Spartan's 72 in × 38 in footprint fits best in a room with at least 10 ft × 13 ft of usable open space — though the exact fit depends on your cue length and room layout. Measure your room before ordering to confirm.
Is the Spartan intended for indoor use only?
Yes. Hathaway specifies this product is for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor humidity, temperature swings, and moisture can damage the engineered wood construction, warp the playfield, and degrade the felt. Keep it in a temperature-controlled indoor space for best performance and longevity.
What does the table tennis conversion top look like, and how does it attach?
The table tennis top is a lightweight, single-piece panel that sits directly on top of the pool table. It covers the full 72 in × 38 in surface. The support board (included) is placed under the top for stability. The top lifts on and off easily — no permanent hardware — so you can switch between billiards and table tennis without tools and store the top when not in use.
Does the table tennis top protect the felt when in place?
Yes. When the table tennis top is installed on the pool table, it sits over the felt surface and protects it from dust, scratches, and impact during ping pong play. The felt is only exposed when you remove the top to play billiards.
What accessories are included — do I need to buy anything extra to start playing?
Everything you need for both games is in the box. For pool, you get two 2-piece pool cues, a full billiard ball set (16 balls), a racking triangle, cue chalk, and a rail brush. For table tennis, you get the conversion top, net and posts, two paddles, and two balls. No additional purchases are required to start playing either game on day one.
How difficult is assembly, and what tools do I need?
Hathaway rates assembly at approximately 60 minutes. You'll need a Phillips-head screwdriver; a level is also recommended to ensure the table is set up flat. Hathaway advises that two adults work together — one person can manage the process, but the table body is heavy and some steps are much easier with a second set of hands.
Do the leg levelers actually work on uneven floors?
Yes. The Spartan includes four 3.5-in ABS leg levelers that adjust independently to compensate for minor floor irregularities. Using a level during assembly to dial in each corner is the recommended approach — a properly leveled table ensures the cue ball rolls straight and games play fairly.
What is the Hathaway Spartan warranty, and how do I make a claim?
The Spartan is covered by Hathaway's 180-day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of original retail purchase. The warranty is nontransferable and covers residential use only; institutional or commercial use voids it. To make a claim, contact the retailer where you purchased the table and have your proof of purchase, model number (BG50310), and relevant part numbers ready. Shipping costs for warranty service are the buyer's responsibility. You can also reach Hathaway's warranty team directly at warranty@bluewaveproducts.com or (800) 759-0977.
Is this table safe for young children?
Hathaway notes a choking hazard warning on this product — the billiard balls and small accessories are not suitable for children under 3 years old. For older children, the table is designed for family play. Adults should supervise younger kids and store small accessories (chalk, balls) out of reach when not in use. Do not allow children to sit, climb, or lean on the table.
Can I move the table after it is assembled?
The Spartan does not have wheels or casters. Hathaway advises against dragging the table to move it, as this can damage the legs. To reposition, lift the table — with at least two people — rather than dragging or sliding it across the floor.
How do I care for the red felt to keep it in good condition?
Brush the felt regularly with the included rail brush, always brushing in one direction (from head spot toward the foot). Keep food and drinks off the playing surface. When the table tennis top is not in use, consider leaving it in place to protect the felt from dust. Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight, which can fade the cloth over time. Hathaway's warranty does not cover scratching or damage resulting from normal usage.
How does the Spartan 6-ft compare to a 7-ft or 8-ft pool table?
A 6-ft table has a shorter playfield (64 in × 30 in on the Spartan) compared to a 7-ft table's typical 76–78 in playfield. The shorter length means slightly less room for position play and long-distance shots, but the game mechanics, pocket sizes, and general strategy are the same. For casual family play and skill development, the 6-ft delivers a satisfying billiards experience. If you have the room for a 7-ft table and want a larger playing surface, the Hathaway Maverick II 7-ft is worth comparing. The Spartan's key advantage is fitting rooms where a larger table simply won't.
Is this a good table for learning billiards?
Yes. The inlayed sights on the 4-in rails are a genuine training aid — they give new players the visual reference points to understand banking angles and cue ball positioning. The compact playfield also means fewer steps between shots, which keeps beginners engaged rather than walking the table on every turn. The included accessories mean there's nothing additional to buy to start practicing.
Where can I order replacement parts if something breaks?
Hathaway (Blue Wave Products) offers a retail parts program. You can reach their consumer hotline at (800) 759-0977 or visit bluewaveproducts.com for parts inquiries. When requesting parts, have the model number (BG50310) and the part number from the assembly instructions ready.
