    Bit of a girls post but here goes.......I'd love to get my boyf a dart board for the house (he's mentioned it about a million times!) but we don't have the luxury of a games room/garage so it'd have to go in living room. The question is does anyone know where I could get a dart board with a decent case, maybe something that looks a bit like an antique or is made of real wood, anything I've seen in the usual sports shops aren't the best quality and don't look great.
    Any suggestions appreciated!!

    There are plenty of darts shops online that sell good quality cabinets such as these here http://www.unicorn-darts.com/catalogue/product.asp?id=215&departmentID=16

    Tbh though your not going to find this fancy antique wooden cabinet because the whole point of a cabinet is so that the darts dont hit your wall and ruin it but hit the cabinet instead and ruin that. You can get cabinets that look good of course like the ones on the site above. I personally like the beach cabinet found on this site http://www.activetoys.co.uk/ishop/955/shopscr1336.html

    These are the most stylish ones I found but they are very expensive and come from America.

    As for the dartboard itself I recommend you buy a Unicorn Eclipse dartboard which you could pick up in a decent sports shop.

    For those who'd prefer the modern look rather than the antique look, I'd recommend the black and silver Unicorn cabinet that is in the Argos catalogue.

    As Kingp35 said the Unicorn Pro Eclispse is the best dartboard with the Winmau Blade III a close second. There are other boards which are cheaper, but they will result in more bounce-outs and therefore more holes in places you don't want them!
