Extremely fun, decorative and actually useful as a cocktail table when not being played, which is rare.  The arcade style is probably more comfortable to look straight ahead and play, but playing at same time with a friend or loved one without having to switch chairs or standing and just being face to face is worth the cocktail arcade.  The price was fantastic.  Only minor minus is volume is too loud when it is coming on and makes loud noises even when not being played.  Easy volume control would make it better
