Is a table built with Brunstone a bad thing? What are the pros and cons of this synthetic material vs slate.

No, it's not a bad thing...LOL the major differences between Brunstone and real slate is that if the slate needs to be shimmed quite a bit to correct the level in areas, the problem with Brunstone is that it's very brittle, therefore it'll crack much easier than real slate. It's also not machine ground flat like slate is, which isn't really saying all that much, because I've also replaced real slate that was ground so bad it wasn't usable...if you wanted a level rolling table.
So, either or, it don't really matter if you already have a GC with Brunstone slate, just as long as it's in good condition.

The reason I am asking is I am debating buying the snooker table I described from the other thread I started. It is 6 by 12 snooker. I am not sure if it is slate or not. If it is not slate does that effect the value.
I've never seen a Brunswick snooker table with Brunstone.

I have owned a GC snooker table as well as many others and it played great although I did put new cushions on it, they may need replacing and that would be costly in comparison to the price of the table
they are all 1.5 inch real slate in the 6 x 12's :thumbup:

Thank you for your responses. I may end up passing on this deal, just takes to much room to put one of these. I was considering buying and storing until I buy a bigger house.
