Dufferin tables good or bad? Who made them?

[jimmycue]

First i didnt know they made tables. Wondering if anybody has info about them? Locally somebody is selling a brunswick anniversary copy made by dufferin in a 9 footer. They are asking $2500 or best offer, im wondering if they are any good?
Thanks Jim

Run and don't look back!
Built in Canada, there I said it but they were not my fault
Horrible trap pockets (shelf too deep) inconsistent bounce, every rail is different. Floating slates, their stupidest idea to date "lets not bother wasting screws" slate lines will appear soon watch this space!

YMMV
All in my humble opinion of course.

I play on Dufferin Titan tables regularly and they play fine. These are 10 year old tables that the room owner keeps in good shape. While a couple of them have pockets that spit out hard-off-center shots I have never noticed any issues with the rails.

You must be referring to Ball, Cue and Brew in Lincoln Park. The owner wants to get rid of 4 of them to make room for some more 7 ft Diamonds.

They appear to be decent tables and don't see any issues with the slate seams. Most people don't even notice that they are Dufferin. If they don't look at the name plate they think they are Brunswicks.

Other than the deep pocket shelves(Personnaly I like them, just because the it makes it tougher on the weaker players doesn't mean it's a flaw), I haven't found any problems with the rails or the slate of any of the dufferins I've played on. 3 rooms in my city have them and when they're maintained they play great.
