Dealing with "guests"

[alstl]

Here's my take on it.

I have a Gold Crown I in my basement I replaced the cushions, cloth with Superpro's and I even set it up myself. This table has been around since the sixties and is in great shape. However I'm not worried about it I even let my 6 year old use it.

Why ? Its just a table it was made to be used in a commercial environment so I dont worry about it.

But I refuse to let anyone use my playing cue thats were I draw the line.

Enjoy your new table I'm sure as time goes by you wont stress out too much about company playing on it.

Exactly. I've played on tables older than me and they are in fine shape. The cues are a different story, have some cheapos on hand for visitors.
