Thanks! It's been great having it and the restoration turned out real nice. It's almost like a dream to have a tournament condition English snooker table in my house!
Too funny, but that's exactly the look I was going for...a club feeling. To confess, the real reason for the mirrors is technique training but it does look awesome too!

This is a major update to my home room...a new to me 9' Gold Crown I. A water pipe break above my old table motivated me to make the move to a GC. Glad it happened in a way. What a great table. Looks like it was 1st owned by Akron U due to a tag on the frame, then was supposedly in someone's basement for 30+ yrs. I believe it...it's in great shape for it's age.
I picked this up about 3 weeks ago & hauled it home! Trent at 8 On The Break handled the new cushions, Simonis 860 cloth and the installation. While he had the rails, I painted it with Sherwin Williams Whitetail SW 7103 & installed feet levelers from Ken @ Classic Billiards. I had Ken's decals installed by a friend yesterday. I like the Brunswick logo, so why not?
Trent did an excellent job on the install & set up. Great guy too. The table plays unbelievable! After a long day of getting it all set up, he then mercilessly smoked me in about 10-15 games of pool lol. I'm already getting better on it though!

Love it all. Looks warm and inviting. One little criticism ... don't use under the pool table as a storage area.
Lewie ... beautiful setup. I also love the Brunswick decals. Is that you on the torch and beeswax?
Haha. You have a good eye and I figured somebody may comment. I just put quite a bit of wood flooring in my house and this was a quick easy storage for a few boxes that were left over. But thank you, now I have extra motivation to move them elsewhere. :thumbup:

And you even have the new prestige ball set
Holding up like a champ actually. The only thing that scuffed it was when a buddy tripped and biffed it into my table and made it skid an inch. Hardly noticeable unless you're looking at it from the right angle. And no we had a company do it. The prep work was a ***** but the actual process of doing it was amazing! Doesn't look too hard to do yourself though, I just didn't want to grind and level concrete for hours... There's a reason I entered the medical field lol.
Still a work in progress. Got the one table up...now I'm looking to sell it so I can put a Diamond Professional in next month :grin: After that I can get back to work on the lights...going to run some LED flush mounted lights across the ceiling in three main rows...might have some of them be directional to replace some of the track lighting...or not. Set them up to dim...then move on to converting the Gold Crown light to LED tubes that I can dim.
