The 30-second answer
Indoor: the Club range is the entry-level (straight cabinet, MDF legs); the Home is the best value for money and the best-selling model; the Star features a boat-shaped cabinet and central ball return; the Champion is for demanding players (aluminum die-cast bearings, high goals, flexible plywood playing surface); the Toi & Moi adopts the boat-shaped finishes in a more accessible format.
Outdoor: same logic, with materials treated for outdoor use. The Home Outdoor opens the range, the Champion Outdoor is the benchmark for serious outdoor play, and the Millésime is the exceptional model (HPL + Moabi dual-material cabinet, chrome-plated players, retro ashtrays).
Club, Home, Star, Champion, Millésime, Toi & Moi… Stella foosball tables may look similar from afar, but the details make all the difference: the bearings, the cabinet shape, the ball return, and the goal height. Here's a complete comparison, range by range, for both indoor and outdoor models.

Indoor or outdoor: the first question to ask
Before comparing finishes, a simple point needs to be decided: where will the foosball table live? An indoor model placed on a patio, even a sheltered one, is exposed to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and UV rays. The wood warps, the playing surfaces swell, and the metal parts rust.
Stella outdoor foosball tables are built differently: treated materials, legs made of oiled Moabi (a dense wood naturally resistant to humidity), and tops and coverings designed to remain outdoors year-round. This explains the price difference compared to indoor models with equivalent finishes.

What to remember about indoor ranges: The Home model represents the shift towards true Stella quality (solid beech legs, stainless steel bearings, head game). The Champion is for demanding players who want a competitive feel (lobs possible, die-cast aluminum bearings).

Understanding the criteria: what are these differences really for?
The bearings
These are the parts that guide the rods. With hard plastic, the rod slides correctly but wears out faster. With polyamide + stainless steel, the rotation becomes smoother and more durable. With die-cast aluminum, you get the precision and longevity sought by regular players.
Straight or boat-shaped cabinet
The straight cabinet has vertical sides: sleek and compact. The boat-shaped cabinet has curved sides, visually more generous — this is the classic silhouette of a bistro foosball table.
The ball return
Under the goals, the ball is retrieved at the end of the table. With a central return, it comes back to the middle of the side, directly within reach of the player.
Moabi, beech, and MDF
Solid beech is used for the legs of indoor models starting with the Home model. Oiled Moabi, reserved for outdoor use, is a dense exotic wood that perfectly withstands humidity and rain. The MDF in the Club range is an engineered panel suitable for moderate indoor use.
Which range to choose based on your use?
- A family, a living room, a few games on the weekend: Home indoors, Home Outdoor on a patio. The best quality-to-price balance.
- Regular players, a real skill level: Champion. Die-cast aluminum bearings, high goals (lobs) and flexible playing surface.
- Professional use (hotel, gîte, business): Champion / Champion Outdoor for durability, or Millésime for prestige.
- A first foosball table with a controlled budget: Club indoors, or Toi & Moi for a duo format.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Stella Home and Star foosball table?
The Star brings two major improvements compared to the Home: the boat-shaped cabinet with curved sides and the central ball return, which prevents having to walk around the foosball table between points.
Can a Stella outdoor foosball table be left outside all year round?
Yes, outdoor models are designed to remain outside thanks to oiled Moabi legs and moisture-resistant materials. A protective cover in winter helps maintain their new appearance longer.
Are Stella foosball tables made in France?
Yes, Stella is an iconic French manufacturer. Their foosball tables are assembled with true artisanal expertise in woodworking and repairable parts designed to last for years.
