Very, very nice.... That is one awesome table without a doubt, and I'm all but full of jealousy. This is the table I dreamed of owning for my room build, sadly my remodel project went so far over budget, there wasn't enough left for the table. To compromise, I purchased a decent stand in for a while. It was cheap and needed some work (see link in my sig), but it's not all that bad after some work (it's by far no Diamond though). I can't wait for the day when my new table is delivered.
Thank you for posting these pictures as it gives me an idea of the assembly and inner mechanics of how Diamond has built their table (especially the leveling system. heh, who would of ever thought of adjustable shims). Enjoy my man, I know you will.....

After posting I realized I also replied to your pocket pictures in the talk to a mechanic thread. Keep us posted on the remedy of this unfortunate situation

Very Nicely Done, Von. My wife inherited a Big home
in Hillsboro and we hope to move there later this year.
I'm already shopping for a 6x12 Snooker Table and a
5x10 Pocket Billiards Table. My neighbor in El Dorado
Hills has a Diamond Pro (now Cobra-ized) and I love
playing on that table. Hope to see you at California
Billiards some time in the future.
Again ... Beautiful Table, Light, & Home. You must be Proud.

You are a very lucky man to have such a nice place. I enjoyed seeing the progress of how a Diamond table is delivered and installed and I wondered how much the slate weighed. You are set now to enjoy your new table and thanks for posting the pictures.

Thanks for posting. You really should enjoy that table.

I hope no one hurt themselves hoisting that slate up onto the table. 900 lbs, that's hernia territory.

If I had the room, I would definitely buy a Diamond.

Yep, that's the bay. And if you walk out that door, here's what you see:
