Best 3 piece slate 7ft table?

[cycopath]

My friend had to sell his 7ft Diamond ProAm because it was impossible to get it into the only room that’s big enough to fit a table in the new house.

So he’s looking for an alternative. I suggested a 3 piece slate table.

What manufacturer should he be looking for? I don’t think there’s a huge market on 3 piece 7ft tables.

Thanks for the help.

I've not heard of a 3 piece 7' table but then again, I've never been in the market for one.

Could you find a less expensive bar box and cut the slate in half? Reassemble like a 3 pc would but only be a 2 pc. Just a thought.

I would have chopped a hole in the wall before I gave up on it!

I would have done the same or opened the doorway up more taken the window out if it was a big enough hole. Then again my father is a carpenter and I have some experience doing renovations with him.

The options were either taking out walls or using a Lull and removing upstairs windows, either of which would have cost thousands of dollars.

A friend has a Diamond on the 3rd floor of his house. Where there's a will there's a way! The cabinets can be broken down quite small, and the right help can get a 1 piece slate up pretty tight stairs.

It wasn’t a matter of the stairs.
The staircase was straight but the landing at the top was very narrow, and you had to take a hard right turn into the room. A one piece slate is way too cumbersome to lift over people’s heads to try to make the turn.
I don’t care how nice the table is, it’s not worth someone getting hurt.

I helped a friend put his 7ft Smart Table on the second floor of his house. The staircase was two half flights with a narrow landing between, but we got it in there.
So yes, where there’s a will there’s a way… most of the time. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out though.

Most all building structures allow for a 4x8 sheet of plywood to be moved in/out of rooms and hallways. Even my 1906 home, built before sawmills here in CO I could fit this down into the basement.
Tho, If it was a Thick 4x8 object it would not of happened.
Like another said, cutting it might be the trick. I'd ask the Snake.

He should have looked into getting 3 piece slate for the diamond table he already had.

I bought a legacy 7' for our first house. It's definitely not the best but its been thru 3 moves and held up 8 years before I had to replace the cushions but other than that it stayed and played true til I sold it a few years ago for a bigger table.

Edit : Nothing will play like a diamond except a diamond

If all else fails, tell the ol lady it's going in the dining room, and that's that!

We have an old farmhouse where you have to make a 90 degree turn at the top of the stairs, we were able to get my 9' GC down the stairs but not a 7' Valley. I took the slate out and cut the cabinet in half top to bottom thru the ball box and other openings then doweled/glued/and screwed it all back together again. Left the metal cabinet corners off of the table, painted the wood corners black and put new shelf paper on the cabinet, turned out pretty good for a $400 table, especially after throwing away the backed cloth, is that ever some miserable stuff, its like a half inch thick.
