I will say that If I raise my table (maybe on the order of 1") I would raise it with a wedge mechanism so I can dial in the flatness of the table with an 3/16" allen wrench (instead of card shims.)
I'm only 5' 10". I'm not sure I would be able to reach even center table from one of the end rails if I went much past 32.5".
My table's playing surface was 30.5" and I raised it to 31.5" by putting 1" blocks under each foot. I'm experimenting for now. I'm thinking I may go up a tad more. We'll see.
I can see where a person at 6' 3" with a bad back would need at least a couple extra inches of table height more than someone at my height.
Also, my playing cue is 58", but I do have a large assortment of mid-cue and butt extensions that range from 1" to 12".
