Not including the new steel subframe which came courtesy of a friend who owed me a favour, the total cost including labour, the new CPBA cloth and rails was 800€ (roughly 900 USD)

My installer has now been and gone and in appreciation for the feedback and in case it helps anyone in a similar situation, this was the outcome... -We discovered the cushions installed had no branding anywhere, my installer is convinced they are a cheap no-name brand. I am currently trying to...

Thank you all for your input — much appreciated. Yes, I was aware at the time of purchase that this table was a compromise between a pool table and a piece of furniture, and I was admittedly optimistic. Following the installation issues, it became clear that it is far from what one would call...

More info on the rails: Profile, please see pics, no idea how to confirm myself Height 32-33mm Depth 26mm Seemingly well attached Nose 37-38mm In contrast to the rails at my local, these “feel” (when squeezing by hand) less flexible Thanks everyone!

Thanks for that! I have removed the cloth from the rest of the rail, and it does not seem to show any branding on any of the visible edges I have the offcuts from the cloth, was installed 2021, no idea if the markings are in line with an original or a fake. Whichever the case it does seem it...

Hi everyone , my current table doesn’t play as close to my local’s as I would like (seems the installer sold and installed a fake Simonis…), and am now curious if the rails are actually what I ordered back in the day or not… (regardless of if it was the right decision or not) Supposedly the...

Thanks for the replies guys. My question really is how do I reach the "same" conclusion that rexus31 has done: Or put another way, if most people seem to be looking at either 860 or 860HR (both bar tables as Rexus31 has hinted to, and also pro and competition tables), why is 760 still...

Its not a known brand table, but its a 7+ foot (2.2m x 1.1m play area) 22mm slate table. Was brand new in September, with Klematch cushions. Currently has Simonis 720

Hi guys, I am sure this has been asked before however I can't find it in the forum. Short version of a story is that I have a new Simonis cloth in my favour, and I must choose which version and color I want (to be used in the future on my home table when the current cloth needs replacing) To...

Yes

Made in Spain, its a mixed pool/dining table, specifically model Altea from ElBillar.es for sure a big step up, all be it far from the Diamonds of the world...

Fortunately not! The new table went into my new house, with a living room re-designed around fitting a permanent table, convertible to dining table...

Extremely late reply… but for the sake of anyone else searching the forum in the future… I have enjoyed the “cheap” MDF table massively. The cloth was not high quality, it was actually terrible, so anyone picking up something similar, beware of massive “ball burn”. In my case, the break point...

I agree… annoyingly there is a loose thread on the Simonis, and he may yet be back to replace it… from the limited insight possible through this meduim, what would you suggest making sure is done differently next time, just the glue joint? Thanks again!

Its a locally (Spain) produced table, mixed pool and dining table. Brand new, built to spec and with all the extras they offer (Simonis 860HR, Klematch cushions, leather pockets, Aramith black…) It has a steel outer frame and legs, with what seem to be four thick MDF cross beams holding the...
