Thanks to all who have responded with the thoughtful remarks and guidance on my install issue. The pocket issues have been resolved and I am happy with the results. I am even more thrilled on how the company approached the situation once I reported my dissatisfaction to the manager. He assured...

Thank you for including the additional pics. Looks really good. What is sad is I only really expected to have the cloth pulled down completely and stapled underneath. That is how the original table was done. that is how all 8-10 tables in the showroom was done. Done by the same mechanics...

Thanks for the response and encouragement.

Thank you for the thoughtful insight to my issues. You make great points as to not being specific on the contract as to how the pockets were to be dressed. I shot on a pool league for twenty years and never saw the more detailed pockets like your nice example. So without that exposure I never...

Great work! Thanks for replying and the support. I will keep everyone in the loop as I go forward with this.

Thanks for the perspective. I am horrified, frustrated and often disappointed in my trade. Unsafe and shoddy work passed off as good quality work. I should have had more confidence in myself and tackled the project with some help from resources like this forum.

Thanks for the input. I did see the simonis logo visable along one edge of the table prior to them reinstalling the rails. As far as I know thats the way you can quickly verify the top. Is there any standard practice when installing and aligning the rails? Angle guides, straight edge, witness...

I shot in leagues in Baltimore 1988 to 2008. Never once shot on a table during that time that ever had pocket cuts showing. I will keep everyone informed as to what the outcome is.

Now I'm really bummed out. No really, excellent work. Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the remarks. I certainly have an uphill battle. I'm a professional installer in another field so I am pretty good at relating to and working thru issues with contractors and customers. Wish me luck.

Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm!!

1987 Brunswick "Santa Fe" Model "KT". Recent Simonis 860 install by a table mechanic from a local billiards shop. I really don't want to buy a copy of the Simonis install video but I'm quite sure this technique is not on there. I don't think this can be fixed. I want it replaced and stretched...

Just did a post in the TEST area and I need to re-post it in the mechanics forum. Someone really fouled up my table and they are coming back. I need to be better informed on what to look for as they try to explain their way out of this one! Do I need to redo what I did in a post to that forum...
