For the kids who saved their last quarter
Those arcade memories deserve a place at home.
Waiting for a turn at the pizza place. A glowing screen at the laundromat. One more game before it was time to leave. For many of us, owning that machine was something we could only imagine.
Quality Arcades grew out of that feeling. We wanted the people who loved those games to bring the experience home—and share it with their kids, grandkids, and friends.
Today, we build complete cabinets in our own workshop. We handle the cutting, assembly, wiring, and testing, so you can focus on choosing the arcade that belongs in your room.

Six reasons to choose Quality Arcades.
Hand-built in the USA
Our team cuts, assembles, wires, and finishes each cabinet in-house. A typical build involves 26–35 hours of work; ask us about the current lead time for your order.

How your machine is built.
The finished cabinet is only the last chapter. In our US workshop, the shape, controls, wiring, and artwork come together one stage at a time—typically 26–35 hours of hands-on work before packing and dispatch.

Very supportive in customer service. The arcade is a blast to play! So many games to keep the grandkids and me busy for hours!
I purchased a machine from them last year. Love it. Then the kids accidentally screwed up the settings, making it unplayable. I emailed the company...these guys responded in LESS than 2 hours with a fix and they walked me through it, including sending me something that essentially locked the settings. This thing has any game you can think from any system and arcade for most of the 70s-2000s. Highly recommend.
I just received my arcade today and it is AMAZING!! I went with a spider-man wrap and it looks so good, I can’t stop staring at it. Everything was packaged really securely on the pallet, no damage during shipping. It truly is plug and play, I got no instructions but the chat was helpful and got me up and running in no time and then comes the stress of deciding what to play first. The games look great. The speakers sound great. It’s only about 100 pounds so moving it was pretty easy, but being that light I’m thinking of anchoring it to the wall. My only complaint is that I wasn’t contacted by anyone to schedule delivery. It just showed up. Luckily it’s my weekend and I was home, but I’m not sure who dropped the ball there. Other than that the service was great, it arrived 15 days after I ordered it which is expected because they clearly take time to ensure quality. I can’t say enough about how awesome this arcade is. Who wants to come play?
It's here guys! I played mine for a week non-stop and honestly it's addicting. The quality of the graphics is better than how I remember it in the 90s. Street fighter is my favorite game ever
This arcade machine is the best gift that I've purchased....for myself :))
This is our first arcade machine and after doing a lot of research and reading reviews I decided to go with the full size slim design model. We love it so much! shipping was so fast and the machine arrived really well packed on a pallet, I don't think I have ever seen such good packaging. We took it to our beach house which we also rent on Airbnb, and our guests are very happy and we get lots of great reviews because of this fun arcade. I just placed my second order for our house and we are very excited. Thank you Quality Arcades for the awesome product!
