18 in Blade Staple-Free Dartboard Cabinet Set - Lighted Wall-Mount

Our review of the Barrington Billiards 18 in blade staple-free dartboard cabinet set finds it most useful for home game rooms and casual league players who want a ready-to-install, durable setup. The single biggest reason to buy is the pre-assembled wood cabinet with LED lighting and a regulation 18 in bristle board that arrives ready to mount, which removes the usual setup hassle and protects the wall around play. The included six steel tip darts and built-in storage make it a complete package for pub-style play at home.

Key Features

• Pre-assembled cabinet: The wood display arrives assembled so a single mounting step gets the set game-ready with minimal effort.
• LED lighting: Integrated LED lights illuminate the board for clear visibility during evening play without hardwiring.
• Bristle dartboard: The 18 in Sisal board is self-healing and 1-1/2 in thick, designed to accept steel tip darts and extend dart life.
• Staple-free bullseye: The staple-free center and 1.6 mm wiring reduce bounce-outs and protect the board surface.
• Storage and mounting: Built-in compartments hold three darts per side and included hardware fits most indoor walls for secure installation.
• Durable finish: MDF cabinet with Birchwood veneer and black flannelette lining offers a polished look and protects surrounding walls (41.5 by 24.75 in coverage).

Who It's For

The set is ideal for homeowners or renters who want a nearly complete, attractive dartboard installation without assembling cabinets or sourcing darts. It suits casual players, family game nights, and small home leagues that use steel tip tournament rules and want the convenience of built-in lighting and scoreboards.

Players seeking a tournament-grade, professional scoreboard system or electronic scoring will want to look elsewhere, as this is a traditional bristle board with dry-erase scoreboards and battery-powered LEDs rather than integrated digital scoring. Also, those needing rechargeable or hardwired lighting should note the LEDs run on four AA batteries.
