A while ago I mentioned that we bought a new house, and one of the requirements was a basement large enough to get the pool room I've always wanted. After posting this thread:

You guy were nice enough to put me in touch with Brian Miller at Diamond products, and I can't thank you enough for it! He gave me a great deal on a Brand New, 9' Pro-Am in Charcoal Black with Grey Simonis cloth (pictures do NOT do this table justis!), 4 1/2" Pro-Cut Pockets, and a matching Black Wall Cue Rack and Triangle.

After getting rained out early in the week, we were able to get the table in the basement Thursday. The delivery team of Ed, Chris and Jason did a fantastic job. In fact, they took care of a problem I didn't even think of. Getting the 1500 lb table over the entry way of the glass door without crushing the track. They just backed the truck up and put the ramp over the threshold, then rolled the table right on the carpet with about an inch and a half to spare!

It only took them about a little over an hour to get it set up and leveled. Actually they had it set up and in place in about 15 minutes. The leveling was what took the most time as they started with 4 machinist levels, then went to about 24 small machinist levels for fine tuning!

I have finally gotten the pool room I've always wanted, and now have THE BEST table in it! I wish the pictures turned out better, so you could really see the smokey black diamondwood, and how great the grey felt looks against the black table and grey walls. Take my word for it though, I'm still just blown away every time I go down the basement.

Thanks again to all that recommended a Diamond, and to the great sales and delivery guys that made a dream come true.

Now onto the pictures...!!!!

Awesome set up, and don't expect that feeling of being blown away to go away soon if you are like me you never really get over it.:cool:
 
Wow! Beautiful table and really nice room! I'm getting ready to have an addition put on my house that will accomodate a 4.5x9 Diamond. Are you getting the Diamond light also?
 
Very nice!... I'm not used to basements with fire places and sliding glass doors... I guess they're different now. Did you get a light?...Just got mine done last week by RealKingCobra so I know the feeling.
 
Lots -o- light down here!

Guys,

I didn't get the light for 2 reasons. The first is that there is plenty of lights down there already. I think there are like 9-12 recessed lights in the pool area alone. The second is that, while the area is big, the ceiling is a little low. I think it's only 8' or so. That's why I didn't get the light.
 
While the table looks fantastic and i wish i had a 9' Pro-Am in my house, I honestly don't believe many people would be happy with that lighting. It looks like there's some light in the middle section and none on the ends at all. It looks very dark and combined with that color cloth, I don't know how you would be able to see the balls very well on long shots.
 
Great set-up . . .

You're a lucky man! Diamonds play awesome . . . what time are we all coming over to play? :D


CONGRATS!
 
Mike,

You are making a lot of us who don't own a Diamond Table very envious. I know that you'll enjoy many hours on that beautiful table set up in a great room. Congrats.......

Actually the light weirdness looks far worse in the picture than it does in real life. In fact the pictures don't even show the table cloth or wall color correctly. I think it's a combination of flash set up and overhead lighting.

Regardless, while the Diamond light might be more even, the ceiling is low enough already, and that's the main reason I didn't go with the light.
 
Your room looks great. Welcome to the Diamond family of great products and great people. Brian is a great guy. The basement setup is fantastic.
