Bristle Dartboard Cabinet Set with Steel Tip Darts - Ready to Play

Our review focuses on the Barrington pre-assembled wood cabinet dart set and why it works well for casual leagues and home game rooms. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at players who want a sturdy, ready-to-mount setup with regulation bristle construction and convenient storage, and the single biggest reason to buy is the complete, tournament-sized 18 in bristle board that comes ready to install. The reviewer found the cabinet finish and build reassuringly solid while appreciating the included steel tip darts and dry-erase scoring on the doors.

Key Features

• Pre-assembled cabinet: The cabinet arrives assembled so users only need to mount it and secure the board to begin playing without time-consuming setup.
• Regulation bristle board: The 18 in diameter sisal board with a staple-free bullseye offers a self-healing surface made for metal tip darts and long-term play.
• Rotatable steel number ring: The steel number ring can be rotated to spread wear and extend the life of the board and wiring.
• Built-in storage: Hinged veneer doors with magnetic locks provide corner storage for up to six darts and protect the wall with a 46.5 in by 25.5 in footprint.
• Complete accessories: The set includes six 18 g steel tip darts, a dry-erase marker and mounting hardware so the cabinet functions as a full starter kit.

Who It's For

This cabinet set is ideal for home game rooms, pubs or families who want a quick, attractive setup that looks like a built piece of furniture and supports standard pub or tournament games such as Cricket. Players who prefer metal tip darts and a regulation-size board will appreciate the 18 in bristle surface and heavy-duty wiring.

Less suitable are players who need specialized competition equipment or advanced dart customization; serious tournament players seeking interchangeable professional-grade dart barrels or a full pro installation should consider purpose-built tournament boards and separate mounting rigs.
