Pool table brands to avoid?

Saunier-Wilhem tables from the 50's and 60's are good tables that can be found cheap. They appear to be knock offs from the Gold Crowns. Saunier-wilhem is no longer in business, but they had locations in Greensboro, NC, Birmingham, AL, and Pittsburgh, PA. My grandfather had these tables in his room for over 20 years from 1950's to 1979 giving him good service. I recently purchased 2 of them for $300 each and have restored them for less than a total of $2000 including Simonis cloth. Anyone living near these areas should keep these in mind. Just my opinion. thank you.
 
I can have him call you; pm me your number. It was $2700 including delivery, installation and new Simonis 860.

I am in Atlanta and having my 9' Brunswick Metro Pro Edition delivered today by someone in Florida. He has several and I wish I had told you earlier.
I would go to the Table Mechanics section and ask them about the Metros.
Me personally, I don't like the weird shaped rails, draws my eye away from my sight line.

I'm not sure of the overall quality either. I have not seen one in person.
They do sell a lot of them in Asia.

Good grief man, the guy just got a new table and he's rightfully proud of it.

This would be a good time to dislike it or question the quality quietly. They were used for a period of times in tournaments and I don't remember anyone refusing to play on them.
 
Good God Man!
The post was directed to the person looking for a table, you!
Not at the guy who just got one.

If you find he has more, please let me know.

I love the metro
If I had the money and choice I'd pick it over a gc
Isn't that the new GCVI?

I wasn't slamming the Metro.
I am just as curious as the next guy as to their quality of build and play.
I've have never seen one so I was asking for the Table Mechanics experience's with them.

Well, in the Metro, there is a world of difference between the 8' and 9' tables. Gotta go with 9', as it has pro cut pockets. I'm LOVING it.
