I would like to know as well please.

Hi there, I have been enjoying my new Black Crown II pool table with my kids. I bought it so we could play as a family. So far, we have been playing 8 ball, 9 ball and cut throat. Are there any other games anyone would recommend? One pocket does not interest me. We also play snooker (my 10 year...

I wanted to know if people cover their pool tables? It is a nightly event and sometimes a pain. I know the main purpose is to keep dust off of it. Any comments appreciated.

Looks like a Canada Billiards Black Crown, good quality table that goes for about $4500. The counters look the same but weird no name plate. http://canadabillard.com/black_crown_ii/p2018.aspx

I ended up buying Aramith Premium balls. The odd thing is when I hold an Aramith ball versus the Chinese ball, the latter feels heavier. I don't have a scale at home and I am unsure if it is in my head but even the play feels much different. Balls seem to roll more and takes much less effort...

Is it too late for you to PM me a promo code?

I read this and wipe the tears off my cheek. I had a tough time with my own son last weekend and his behaviour (10 year old) and all that disappeared when I read about your horrible tragedy. I went home and hugged him and from time to time in the evening, thought about you. I pray for your...

Is it too late to call in my order? I didn't bother initially as I figured being up in Canada with one person having to handle the shipping - could have been a problem.

I was, at one point, looking for a re-sale furniture table. In Ontario, the prices for a 9 footer like the above would be between $1000 and $1600. I wouldn't go higher than $1600.00.

Wow! Looks awesome!!! Not sure if I am more jealous of the table or the fact that the installers are in shorts (as we freeze in Canada) :)

Thanks guys! I assumed, based on the research I did, that it was a no-brainer and you always wax or some type of sealer on every install. This site is such an amazing resource for newbies like myself :)

Thanks! I just noticed on a lot of the awesome Home Rooms on the site that a lot of people don't seem to mark up their table. I didn't know if the norm was putting all the lines/dots on the simonis or be minimal.

Hi, I am getting new Simonis Tournament Blue 860 on my table and was looking for suggestions on what lines I should put on it. I have a 9 foot table and play 8 ball and snooker. Would you do the lines, dots and semi circle or do the least markup possible? Thanks.

I spoke to the manufacturer who sent me the installation manual. It clearly states that the seams are to be waxed. When I asked the installer, his response was as follows: "You can apply the wax if u feel it important but it is not necessary on new slate as I told you during the install‎. It...
