Let me start by saying this metal sign nails the retro aesthetic. The vintage tin look is perfect for a man cave or game room, and the 12x8 inch size fits nicely next to a pool table without being overwhelming.

When it arrived, I was impressed by the secure packaging - no dents or scratches. Hanging it up was a breeze with the pre-drilled holes. My buddies immediately noticed it during our weekly pool night and thought it looked super cool on the wall.

Here's where things get tricky though: that stylish vintage font comes at a cost. Unless you're standing right in front of it (like uncomfortably close), the text is nearly impossible to read. I found myself squinting even with my glasses on, which kinda defeats the purpose of a rules reference sign.

The content itself is great - clear pool rules and basic gameplay info that would be super helpful... if you could actually read them. It's like having a cheat sheet written in tiny invisible ink.

Would I recommend it? If you want pure decoration with some pool vibes, sure. But if you're hoping for an actual functional rules reference during heated games (we all have those friends), you might want to look for something with larger print.
