Any experience with Brunswick Dakota II table?

[Kris_b1104]

I will be purchasing a Brunswick Dakota II 8 foot table in the near future, does anyone have any experience with them and are they good tables? What are you likes and dislikes and is it considered a cheap table? Thanks in advance.

Also, what is a good size room for an 8 footer? I see some sites saying 14'x18'.

14x18 is minimum....but you''ll feel crowded and not inclined to spend a lot of time.

.....and I've always been a bit leery about Brunswick's minor brands.....
........I'd keep looking, if I were you.

Darn, the width between the long rail walls are 13 ft. 10 inches, it'll be a tight squeeze, but definitely more than 18ft in length for the short rails. My backstroke might suffer if the cue ball is on the long rail -_-

And it's the cheapest one I could find right now which includes moving and assembly. Not too many good 9 footers on craigslist.

Thanks for the response.
