Cooper Tables
Yes, I have played on them and I would not recommend them. They tend to sag in the center a bit making balls roll off. Of course, this is just my opinion and maybe it was just the particular tables I played on so take this information and add it to whatever other responses you get. I hope this helps a little...happy shooting.

This answer from anyone else probably wouldn't have caught my attention. But from 1 of the most respected mechanics in this forum I found it to be rather rude. Since he didn't bother to post a thread in the mech's forum he probably thought so to.
RUDE???? You need to back up a step buddy, I WAS offering my help, since I don't know what kind of pool table it is, I'm sure my fellow mechanics could offer not only some help...but some insight to the tables from a mechanic's point of view...because when it comes to a pool table...YOU people just play on them...WE have to fix them...so you CAN play on them! And if the table isn't worth the money to buy...I'm sure one of my mechanic friends would speak up and say so to stop someone from getting screwed buying a table if that was the reason the OP was asking....so...YOU sir....owe me an apology

Cooper makes or made in my day a lot of sporting goods.
I don't want to be out of bounds here but its one thing to make
hockey skates and goalie pads and another to make pool tables.
I've seen them for sale in a used goods web site in my home city and truthfully they don't look all that great.
Unless you're getting it for free, I'd put my money on another name brand that you can count on.
PS - If Glen has never heard of them, that should tell you something right there.

Cooper tables were made in SoCal by some dude who used to make them in his garage.
He used to advertise on Tv Guide .
Sold for like $500 in the 80's.
How were the rails bolted ?
LAG bolts. Yes, lag bolts.
In other words, they were crap.
I know the tables your talking about. I believe the guy's name was Ed Cooper and he would change the brand name every couple years. These are the worsted tables made in southern CA besides the Sears table. And Yes, everything was lagged. Legs lagged to frame, rails were lagged through a floating 3 pc slate and no pocket bolts.

Your right I do owe you an apology and you have it. You sounded like a forum cop. I took it wrong. My mistake.
I accept sir, apology noted:thumbup:
I joined this forum just to answer this thread. Worst. Table. Evar!
Seriously, lag screws straight into the wood rails. One or three piece slate, with hand drilled rail screw holes. Frame supports made of pine. Yeah, these tables basically fall apart after three or four years.
