Guess I'm in the minority here but we love our table. We play a few hours everyday. Can count on one hand the number of days we haven't played since we set it up a little over a year ago. Probably play 600 to 900 games a month while the pins might not even get turned on for a couple days. Helps that your spouse loves pool and doesn't care for pinball.
I'd recommend a used table but make sure it's not disassembled already. I took this 4x8 3 pcs slate table apart at my dad's and snapped lots of pics. Sat for a year as i finished the basement but was pretty simple to reassemble it with the pics.
