Remember too, that this thread is 7 or 8 years old. Prices will not have gone up, and the available 'cheap' Chinese knockoffs will be even more plentiful. The key factor will be how long you want to hold out for a potentially higher price.

Unless we moved the clock 7-8 years today.
AES tables are the tables at Dave And Buster's the last time I was there.
I wouldn't touch a pool table today that does not read Brunswick or Diamond.

They play fine. Built sturdy and have a traditional look. I live in the Midwest and there are many of them in homes around here. Most have buckets for pockets but they are decent tables.

Thanks for that advice JayA.E. Schmidt's had the reputation as the best made "home style" table or antique replica table. I played on many of them throughout the Midwest in "upscale" rooms of the 60's and 70's. I didn't like them as much as playing on Gold Crowns, Sport Kings, Nationals or AMF tables but they were a lot better than Gandy's imo. By comparison the Brunswick home style tables did not play nearly as well as the Schmidt tables. Why I don't know.
A more modern table that compares well with Schmidts are the Rebco's out of Fresno. These are solid boxes if you can find one for sale somewhere. We used them in the Reno tournaments for many years. You'll see them on the Accu-Stat videos from that era. Global out of L.A. is another highly under rated table, still being manufactured today. Very solid and very well made imo. I used them for one of my big L.A. Opens and the players liked them.
