Dartboard cabinets look great on any home or pub wall, but there's much more to these than meets the eye. Cabinets have different functions and once you've got one, you'll never want to go back to owning none. Here are the perks of getting a dartboard cabinet.
Achieve a more professional look
Yes, getting a dartboard cabinet is a little bit about showing off, but if you’re really into this game, there’s no reason to be humble about it. Installing a dartboard cabinet in your living or game room is the ultimate proof of your commitment to darts. While this item won’t necessarily help you become a better player, it will surely impress all your friends and make you feel prouder about your hobby.
If you are using a cabinet to decorate your pub or bar, you achieve even better results. A dartboard cabinet is not something you’re likely to ignore and drawing attention is exactly what you aim at. You want people to know they can play darts in your place and feel encouraged to do so.
Protect your walls ...
Now we’re getting to the part where you'll understand why a dartboard cabinet is actually useful. But let’s start with a question? Have you ever missed the target and send a dart straight into the wall, causing an unsightly mark or a dent your wife has been scolding you about ever since? If the answer is yes, which is quite likely, you should take into account getting a dartboard cabinet to avoid such unpleasantries in the future.
Dartboard cabinets protect your walls against steel tip darts that fly astray and can easily damage their surface. When you open the cabinet to start playing, you practically double your play area. Even if you miss the target, your darts won’t end up hitting the wall, which can also make them bend and become useless.
... And your dartboard
While keeping your walls at bay from stray darts, cabinets also do a great job at protecting the dartboard itself. They are basically a case in which you keep your dartboard. You only have to open them when you’re ready to play. This way, your dartboard is not exposed to light, humidity, or any human mistakes that might damage its surface. This is particularly important for dartboards that are being used in pubs or bars.
Keep your darts gear in one place
Another perk of using a dartboard cabinet is that you can keep all your darts and accessories inside. If you’re a tidy person, this is a benefit you can’t ignore. Many dartboard cabinets are provided with holders or a caddy where you can store your items. This way, you know that you’ve got everything in one place, and you don’t risk losing or misplacing your darts anymore. With such a cabinet, you save the time you’d otherwise spend searching for your darts and you’ve always got everything at hand when you’re eager to play.
Make your dartboard more visible
While not all dartboard cabinets provide this feature, many do have some type of lighting system that will make your dartboard more visible. The advantage is that once you turn on the light, you automatically get a clearer view of your dartboard, from any distance. This nice-to-have feature is helpful especially if you keep your dartboard in a room where there isn’t sufficient sunlight or a bar where the light is typically dim. The IgnatGames dartboard cabinet has an in-built display LED system that illuminates your dartboard and is easy to power using a power bank or USB cable.
Keep track of your score
While many players choose to get a separate scoreboard to keep track of their points, finding a place to hang that item close to the dartboard might not come easy. Instead, with a dartboard cabinet, the problem is automatically solved. Many cabinets have an included scoreboard. The IgnatGames dartboard cabinet can be accompanied by our practical magnetic scoreboard with dry pen markers. Even cabinets that don't include a scoreboard allow you to easily mount one on either of their doors.
Redecorate your room
Even those who are not crazy about darts still appreciate the classic beauty of a mahogany dartboard cabinet. You can take advantage of a cabinet to redecorate your room and make it more personal. There are plenty of cabinet styles to choose from, based on the setting you want to integrate it in. Most cabinets have a classic style, they are made of sturdy wood, with different types of finish. They are undeniably elegant and can complement your room or even help you hide some wall flaws. However, if you want to achieve a bolder effect or if your style is rather modern, we can offer you our dartboard cabinets that feature 3 different cover options and basically look like a picture when closed.
A dartboard cabinet simply looks great on any wall. You don’t have to be a fan of this game to appreciate the elegant look of a dartboard cabinet. However, if you are a fellow player and you’re ready to take your game and your gear to the next level, buying a dartboard cabinet is the right thing to do. Now that you’re also more familiar with the advantages you can enjoy, all that’s left is to look for the right cabinet for your needs. We might have just what you’re looking for. Take a few seconds to check out our dartboard cabinets before you leave.
