I know this has been discussed a million times, but all the threads seem to go back and forth between saying "It's fine" and ocassionally someone saying it's a very bad idea. So, bottom line: 650 pound pool table, in a second floor living room, built to code (19 foot span 2x10's 12" apart)...

So I succeeded in convincing my wife to put the table front and center in the living room (hurray! no more garage billiard time!), but she wants to get a conversion table top to use as an overflow room if we have a lot of guests over to eat. A) Is this a good idea? I don't mind doing it, as long...

All, I have always learned best from books. Is there a good book you can recommend that can teach me what I need to know to improve? I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate (I can hit most of my straightforward shots, and have some ability to set up my next shot, but I don't play...

Apologies, I promise this is my last post about buying stuff (after this it's all about the play). I went through all my accessory options, and it seems only two make sense: Getting a mid-level Olhausen kit for aboiut $180, or the Brunswick Centennial kit for $450 (down from $700). (Believe me...

So I bought a table (yee-hah! And thanks everyone for the advice). I want to get a good accessory kit, but I didn't get a good feeling from the ones being sold where I bought the table (he had a no-name brand for $99, a Brunswick Heritage for $399 and a Brunswick Centennial for $499). I got the...

Anyone have experience with Offenbachers in Rockville? I am looking to have them install a table, and I wanted to make sure they'll do a good job. Thanks!

I am looking to get a table delivered and set up by either Offenbacher's or Robbie's in the DC metro area. Does anyone here have any experience and recommend one (or both) of these places? No point in getting a great table if it's poorly set up...

Someone suggested I should post this here: I am looking for the best table I can get with a limited budget. After months of looking, I've given up on used table (no market in my area). I've talked to many dealers, and here are the best deals I can find. Please let me know which you think I...

All, I am in the market for a table, knowing very little. My wife insists we buy new because of a previous bad experience with used. I spoke to the local store and he recommend the Olhausen Belmont/Americana which he has for $2K. He says that I wouldn't really notice the difference if I bought...

I'm thinking about putting a table in my garage in Maryland. Will the table last? Any issues I should think about?

Someone suggested I post this here. Thanks for any help!I found a table I want to buy. It is all hardwood (I really dislike MDF) but it has an option of MDF backed slate or hardwood backed slate. The MDF is cheaper, and the sales guy recommended it as less likely to warp in humidity. He said it...

I found a table I want to buy. It is all hardwood (I really dislike MDF) but it has an option of MDF backed slate or hardwood backed slate. The MDF is cheaper, and the sales guy recommended it as less likely to warp in humidity. He said it should last for about 10 felt changes, which I figure is...

So I *finally* have enough room for a home table, and am super-psyched. I can only spend about $2-3K, and closer to 2 would be better. I know this is tight for a good table, but I really want to buy the highest quality I can. I did a lot of research and it seems that my choices are to buy a...
