There was a time (in the not so distant past) when this particular foosball table was the most expensive piece of furniture in our house. It all started when Adam was having a bunch of kids over for his birthday party. We already had the trampoline but Mark thought that the addition of a foosball table was just what was needed for a boys teenage party.
So, off Mark went in search for the coveted table. I, being the nieve wife who knew nothing of the costs of such a precious piece, was absolutely floored (at the cost) when Mark returned with the "Premier Soccer Table of Champions". "This table is solid-quality and it will last forever", he assured me. Needless to say, the table WAS used and used. I think that Adam actually made some money off of friends when they came to our house at lunch and played foosball (he was pretty much unbeatable). In fact, it was one of the first pieces of furniture he bought for his first apartment (seriously???).
Unfortunately, we don't have room in our smaller house for the "Table of Champions"....and it hasn't been really used in years. So, today I listed it on Craigslist as, "Foosball Table- Solid-Quality". Perhaps it will make a great holiday gift for some lucky teenager for many years to come!
this post made me tear up a bit. that foosball table was a staple at our house. it will be missed.
ReplyDeleteyou don't, by any chance, want to get rid of dad's fly tying desk too, do you? :)
good luck! we had a foosball table growing up too (though not as fancy as the one in your picture). that and the ping pong table were big hits at our house.
