Here's a cheap little trick you can do to add some lines to the look of your ProAm's. All I did was rip down some 3/4" x 1 1/4" Red Oak, then cut it down the middle to give me two 5/16" wide pieces from each board, run them through my thickness planner bringing them down to 1/4" thick, then stained them with the matching stain to these tables, let it dry, clear coated them when ready, let dry. Then cut to length, and pin nailed them to the bottom edge of the side panels of the table, flush to the bottom. You can see by the look of the tables that the look kind of picture frames the side panels and gives you a little more lines to the look of them...instead of the black Formica look just kind of disappearing into the floor when you look at the tables.

This is just an idea for those that would like to kind of add a little more looks to your table:grin:

Great idea! Looks much better for little money.
I think Diamond should make this modification in the future.

Looks nice Glen. I also wanted to build a wood box for ball storage, as opposed to the wire one. Do you have the exact stain brand/color or number, so I can match the table perfectly? I have the same color proam you pictured here.
 
I highly desire a Diamond ProAm as my future dream table, but I have never been wild about the looks.

Great idea. Nicely executed.

Agreed. I think the pro am is the best built table, but it could use some work to improve the looks...

I'm punting and going black....RKC- any way to improve the appearance of the black version?

Very nice!
I also like how it gives you confidence to lean on it for the stretched out shots (sturdy)

Good idea.Very simple way to imrove the look.It is the sort of thing I wouldn't even notice if it wasn't pointed out,I would just see a good looking table.
