Crafted from CARB-certified MDF with a light oak woodgrain melamine finish, tournament-quality \"True Roll\" bumpers, and a nylon-wool blended felt playfield, it delivers genuine play performance — not just a novelty conversion.

The 7-ft size is a bit shorter than a regulation 9-ft table, which makes it the right call if your space is comfortable but not cavernous — and frankly, for social play, it's the better size anyway. The convertible top is genuinely functional, not a gimmick: the 2-piece design stores flat and goes on in a minute. If your household has kids who play ping-pong as much as adults who shoot pool, and you want it to double as a dining or project surface, this set delivers on all three without compromise. The benches are the unsung hero here — that lift-top storage will save you from perpetually hunting for chalk.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cimg alt=\"Hathaway Newport pool table with reversible 2-piece dining and table tennis conversion top in place\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/0578\/6223\/files\/BG2535P_Info_2.webp?v=1757024825\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Hathaway Newport Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamilies with a shared game room or rec room\u003c\/strong\u003e who want pool, ping-pong, and dining utility without buying three separate pieces of furniture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHomeowners with a basement, den, or bonus room\u003c\/strong\u003e measuring at least 13 x 16 feet who want a centerpiece that earns its footprint year-round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecreational pool players\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a well-playing 7-ft table with proper bumpers and blended felt — without committing to a full-size slate table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntertainers and party hosts\u003c\/strong\u003e who need a table that can shift from billiards to dinner seating and back in the same evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift buyers\u003c\/strong\u003e looking for a complete, ready-to-play setup for a new home, a newly finished basement, or a milestone occasion — accessories and seating included out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign-conscious buyers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a game table that looks like furniture: the light oak melamine and chrome accents blend with contemporary, transitional, and farmhouse interiors alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePool Table\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-ft pool table with light oak melamine finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4\" nylon-wool blended felt playfield (red)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTournament-quality \"True Roll\" bumper cushions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2\" white inlay round sights (6 positions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated corner castings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent leg levelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConversion Top\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible 2-piece table tennis \/ dining top (84\" x 47\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable tennis net and posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBenches (x2)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 matching leatherette-padded storage benches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual hydraulic lifters on each bench seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal storage compartment in each bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlay Accessories\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x two-piece 57\" pool cues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull set of 2.25\" regulation pool balls (16 balls)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic triangle ball rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCue chalk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRail brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 table tennis paddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 table tennis balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHathaway Newport BG2535P Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction \u0026amp;

The Newport's playfield measures 74.75\" x 36.75\", which is the standard playing surface for a 7-foot pool table. This is the most common size for home game rooms — it offers a genuine billiards experience and fits comfortably in spaces that can't accommodate a full 9-foot table. Shot geometry and spacing feel realistic, especially for social and recreational play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow much room do I need to place this table comfortably?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe table itself is 84\" long x 47\" wide. For standard 57-inch cues, you'll want at least 5 feet of clearance on all sides to take shots without the wall cutting your stroke. This means a room of approximately 13 x 16 feet or larger is recommended. [[VERIFY: confirm minimum room clearance with Hathaway]] If your room is tighter, shorter cues are also available as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the conversion top work?

One side is set up for table tennis (with the net and posts); the other side functions as a flat dining or activity surface.

Slate is heavier and is found on commercial-grade and high-end home tables at a significantly higher price point. For recreational and family use, a well-made MDF playfield like the Newport's — at 3\/4-inch thickness with tournament bumpers — provides a consistent, enjoyable playing surface.

Can I replace it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nylon-wool blended cloth is durable for regular family and recreational use. Over years of heavy play, felt on any table will eventually wear and may need replacement. Hathaway and third-party billiard suppliers sell replacement felt sized for 7-foot tables. This is a straightforward DIY project or something a local billiard service technician can handle inexpensively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I clean and maintain the table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the felt, use the included rail brush to brush debris toward the pockets — always brush along the grain, never across it. Avoid vacuuming the felt unless using a very low-suction setting. The melamine rail and panel surfaces can be wiped down with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, which can damage the melamine finish. Keep the table covered when not in use to protect the felt from dust and sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the BG2535P and other Newport variants like BG50374?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BG2535P is the Light Oak finish with Red Felt colorway. Other Newport variants (such as BG50374) share the same core design and components but come in different finish and felt color combinations — for example, a rustic gray finish with alternate felt colors.
