Replacing or Adding Adjustable Foosball Table Legs

It can be extremely frustrating to play foosball on an uneven table surface. Not only does the ball roll all over the place making it an unfair match, but it also makes it extremely difficult to set up and perform your shots. The best flooring you can have for a table is concrete which is why many people put them in their basements. However, most people have to put them on carpet, hard woods, tile or other flooring materials that are less likely to have a flat surface that won't shift on you. No matter what the flooring type, it is likely that it won't be completely flat. That's okay because you still have a couple of options when it comes to ensuring your table is level. First, you need to check the bottom of your table legs to see if the manufacturer installed adjustable levelers. If your table didn't come with it you can install aftermarket leg levelers by drilling holes in the bottom. This is the best way to ensure a completely flat surface. This might be scary to start drilling into your expensive table so the other option is to simply shim the legs where it needs to be raised up. Learn more about either option below.

Mounting or Replacing Adjustable Leg Levelers
There are two ways to level a foosball table depending on the legs that your table comes with. Your table will either have threaded adjustable leg levelers or a standard flat table legs. The adjustable leg levelers typically come on higher-end tables and allow you to simply screw or unscrew the leg to the desired table height. You can purchase 4 adjustable leg levelers as aftermarket parts and install them on your table if you are handy with a drill.

Shim Flat Table Legs
If you aren't handy to add adjustable leveler parts or don't want to spend the money, the cheaper option is to simply shim it like you would with a coaster at a restaurant with a wobbly table. Flat table leg designs will be more time consuming using shims and you will need to do more trial and error by adding the correct amount of shims under the legs in order to make the table level.
