Thanks for the responses, guys! The cue ended up sitting outside for about an hour and a half, but it seems no worse for wear. I missed a couple of easy shots during my first game with it, but I'm afraid I can't blame that on the cue. :)

I am having a cue delivered today, but I may be out when it arrives. Is it okay if the cue sits outside in the cold for a couple hours before I get home? It's about 26F out. If this is a problem, I may be able to reschedule the delivery for tomorrow. Thanks!

So this room is no longer open? I wonder what ever happened to those cool custom lamp shades? Those would be great for alumni.

The search function is great if you know what you're looking for, but sometimes you just want to browse the for sale posts to see what might be available. With everything all lumped together, it's easier to miss random stuff for sale like a ball cleaner, instructional DVDs, cool artwork, etc ...

I agree, but why settle for an "adequate" experience when it could be easily improved? What I'm suggesting would not only make it much more convenient for people who are browsing the ads, but it would also help out the sellers by keeping their items from getting lost in the shuffle. :smile:

It seems to me that at least 95% of the items listed in the "For Sale" sub-forum are cues/shafts. It's also such an active sub-forum that posts tend to get knocked down the page very quickly. Because of this, if you are in the market for anything but a cue, you have to sift through pages and...

Awesome room! I love the steampunk motif!

Thanks! After taking in everyone's advice, that's about exactly what I was thinking (40-45") to start. I can obviously fine tune it once I have the table. The key is getting it installed before the table is in place and level so I won't have to worry about standing on the table or building some...

Thanks! So it looks like Diamond recommends that the light be 78" from the ground. What is the height of a standard table?

I'm having a new table installed soon, and I figured it would be best to hang the light before it arrives. Ideally, how many inches above the playing surface do I want the light to hang? It's a 9 foot table, and I purchased this 72" light for it ...

Yes. There will be adequate room for breaking regardless of which side the chairs are on. In fact, the chairs will be in the same spot either way, it's just a question of which way I decide to orient the table. :)

Thanks for the replies so far, guys! So it sounds like there are two different philosophies based on what criteria is most important to you. Some people prefer the chairs to be out of the way of the break, while others put more emphasis on their proximity to the ball return / racking end of the...

I am getting a new table for my basement in a few days. I plan on eventually buying a couple of nice spectator chairs, but due to the dimensions of my room, I will be forced to place the chairs at either the head end or foot end of the table. My question is, which makes more sense? Is it better...

I'll take it if it's still available.

Still looking. :)
