Anyone have any experience playing on a Brunswick Manhattan pool table? If so, I would appreciate your thoughts. Couldn't really find anything when I did a search. I realize this table may not be as good as a Gold Crown or Diamond, but I might be able to get one at a very good price. They seemed pretty high priced new.

Thanks in advance for any input.

always with tables unless you need a furniture piece buy an older one of the best if you are a serious shooter.

at least one of any brand of true commercial tables.

Thanks for the reply. I will keep looking for a commercial table, as I am a serious player. At least want to be.

That table is made pretty much 100% for looks. It's not even as good as a Gold Crown knock off.

I bought a "Home" Brunswick table new in 2019, a Black Wolf. It was not cheap, but in no way was it comparable to a used Gold Crown. Cushions, rails, ball return, all were sub standard.
We sold the house 14 months later and left the pool table for the new owner. Get a used GC or Diamond and pay whatever is needed to bring it up to new condition.

these home tables can be made to be pretty playable by tightening the pockets, good cloth and cushions(if needed). i've played on a couple generic asian gameroom tables that played pretty nice after a little 'tune up'.

Ok from all the answers I gather it has to be the modern Brunswick Manhattan the OP is asking about. The old turn of the century T-rail Manhattans kick ass, especially when you get someone like Mark Gregory to work his magic. Anyway, yeah the new Manhattan would not be my preference for a serious playing table.
