Let me start by saying this retro metal sign absolutely nails the aesthetic. The vintage tin finish and distressed look give it serious man cave appeal. I hung mine right above our basement pool table, and it instantly elevated the space.

The packaging was secure - no dings or scratches upon arrival. At 12x8 inches, it's smaller than I imagined (about the size of a standard sheet of paper). While some reviewers complained about size, I found it works perfectly as subtle decor rather than an instructional focal point.

Here's the catch: that cool vintage styling comes at a cost. The text is indeed quite small and slightly blurry. From across the room during actual gameplay? Forget about reading rules mid-argument. You'll need to get within 2-3 feet to make out the text clearly.

In my experience, it hasn't actually settled any rule disputes (my buddies still bicker like always), but it makes for great conversational decor. The metal feels sturdy, and the pre-drilled holes made hanging a breeze.

Final verdict? 3.5/5 stars. Perfect if you want stylish pool-themed wall art, but don't expect it to function well as a practical rules reference during games. For the price though, it adds nice ambiance to any game room setup.
