Best EastPoint Pool Tables 2026: Dunhill, Brighton & Masterton Compared

Quick Answer: EastPoint Sports makes four distinct MDF pool tables, not one. The Dunhill (~$500) is the bar-style pick with an X-leg base; the Brighton (~$400–$500) is the cheapest, using a ball-and-claw leg design instead; the Masterton (~$730–$770) is the largest and priciest, but independent reviews flag its plastic legs and pockets as durability weak points; and the Easy Setup Folding Table (~$450–$460) is the only one built to fold flat for small spaces. None use real slate — per EastPoint’s own listings, all four are MDF with K-66-style rubber bumpers, so pick by leg style, size, and budget rather than expecting slate-level play from any of them.

EastPoint competes directly with Hathaway for the same budget MDF buyer, and the honest way to think about the brand is that it’s really four separate tables wearing one name, not a single lineup with trim levels. EastPoint Sports Ltd., LLC was acquired by Mason Wells, a private equity firm, according to Mason Wells’ own acquisition announcement — it’s a fully separate company from Fat Cat’s owner, GLD Products, despite both brands landing in the same rock-bottom price tier. Here’s how the four current models actually compare.

EastPoint by the numbers:

• 90-day warranty, replacement parts only. Per EastPoint’s own customer-service page, the standard warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days, but it replaces individual parts rather than the whole table, and it’s void for misuse, improper storage, or shipping damage — read the fine print before you sign for a heavy delivery.
• $400–$500 covers three of the four tables. The Brighton, Dunhill, and folding Easy Setup all land in roughly the same band; only the larger 96-inch-class Masterton breaks meaningfully above it at $730–$770.
• Plastic legs are the Masterton’s documented weak point. Independent reviews (TableGamesHub) specifically flag the Masterton’s plastic leg construction and pockets that can work loose over time — a real trade-off for the extra size and price versus the Dunhill or Brighton.

EastPoint models at a glance

1. EastPoint Dunhill — Best Bar-Style Look

The Dunhill is the EastPoint model this site has already covered in several other roundups, and it’s the one to default to if “bar table” is the specific look you’re after. It competes almost dollar-for-dollar with the Brighton below, so the real decision between the two comes down to which leg style you want in the room, not which one plays or lasts longer — both use the same MDF-and-K-66-bumper construction under the surface.

2. EastPoint Brighton — Best Value

The Brighton is the cheapest EastPoint you can buy new, and reviewers are candid about why: the “LusterLong” MDF finish is functional but plain, with at least one independent review (ThatGuyReviews) describing it bluntly as inexpensive-feeling material rather than anything approaching real wood or slate. Cloth is reported thinner than what you’d get from Hathaway’s comparable Hustler, and a couple of buyers noted minor shipping damage — chipped edges, a broken support block — on arrival, which is worth inspecting for before you start assembly. None of that makes it a bad table for the price; it just means the Brighton earns its “best value” label on cost alone, not on build quality standing out from the rest of the lineup.

3. EastPoint Masterton — Best Full-Size Upgrade

The Masterton costs $200–$300 more than the Dunhill or Brighton, and it’s worth knowing exactly what that extra money does and doesn’t buy. It doesn’t buy a better leg — reviews (TableGamesHub) specifically flag the Masterton’s plastic legs as a durability weak point, along with pockets that can work loose with regular play. What it does buy is more color choice and a slightly larger footprint with built-in anti-warp bracing. If those specific upgrades matter to your room, the Masterton earns its price; if you just want the cheapest usable EastPoint, the Brighton is the better buy per dollar.

4. EastPoint Easy Setup Folding Billiard Table — Best Small Space

This is the model to buy if the room itself, not the price, is the constraint. At 76 inches it’s meaningfully smaller than the 87-inch Dunhill and Brighton, and folding flat is a real feature for a rental or a shared living-room space rather than a marketing line — no other table in the EastPoint lineup does this. Treat it as a starter or casual table first: the smaller playing surface means shorter shots and less true long-rail play than a full 7-ft table, which is the trade-off for the space savings.

EastPoint vs. the rest of the budget tier

• EastPoint vs. Hathaway. Both are MDF brands competing for the same buyer at similar prices — Hathaway’s Hustler (~$650–$750) sits closest to the Masterton, while the Dunhill and Brighton undercut Hathaway’s entry models by a modest margin. Neither brand uses real slate; see our Hathaway lineup guide for the direct comparison.
• EastPoint vs. Fat Cat. Fat Cat generally runs a notch cheaper and lighter still — thinner cushions, lighter frames — making EastPoint the step up if you want a bit more durability without jumping to slate.
• Skip EastPoint entirely if you want real slate. Even the priciest Masterton is MDF. If longevity matters more than upfront price, Mizerak’s Donovan II gets you genuine slate for roughly $900–$1,300 — still well under Brunswick or Olhausen.

How to choose your EastPoint

• Pick by leg style if budget is a wash. The Dunhill and Brighton cost about the same — choose the X-leg bar look or the ball-and-claw traditional look based on what fits your room’s style.
• Budget the extra $200–$300 only if the Masterton’s color options or larger footprint specifically matter to you — the plastic-leg and pocket complaints mean it isn’t an automatic step up in durability.
• Choose the Easy Setup Folding table if floor space is the real constraint, not price — it’s the only model in the lineup built to store away between uses.
• Inspect any EastPoint table on delivery. Reviewers across models report occasional shipping damage — chipped edges, loose hardware — that’s easier to resolve before assembly than after.

The bottom line

EastPoint isn’t one table, it’s four, and the right pick depends on which trade-off matters to you. The Dunhill (~$500) and Brighton (~$400–$500) are nearly interchangeable on price and construction — pick by leg style. The Masterton (~$730–$770) costs more for extra size and color options, but independent reviews flag its plastic legs and pockets as real durability concerns, so weigh that against the price jump. And the Easy Setup Folding Table (~$450–$460) is the only one in the lineup built for a small or shared space. Whichever you choose, remember all four are MDF, not slate — buy EastPoint for the price and the styling, not for a table that’s meant to last decades.
