It's a Diamond? It's a Gold Crown? No, wait. It's a Toulet!

With all the bickering about Diamond versus Gold Crown pool tables, now comes the pool table of the furture that enters the fray. It's a Toulet. I'm not sure how you pronounce it, but I hope it's not like "toy-let." :embarrassed2:

The company, Billiards Toulet, was founded in 1857, so they've been around for a while. ;)

Six designers worked extensively on the choice of materials, harmony of form, and quality of the luxurious table. It is fully customizable with a wide range of color and finishes. :p

This steel and resin table looks like it came straight out of "Battlestar Galactica." :cool:

The classic green felt is, instead, replaced with solid black cloth. :yikes:

The webbed underside of the table serves as the ball return. Hmm, I wonder if this eliminates the problem of balls hanging up in the rails. :p

The table features internal lighting and an integrated jukebox. You can also connect your iPhone or iPod to the table to enjoy music.

This table was recently launched at the Maison and Objet showin Paris. Everything about this table seems luxurious and cool, until you get to the price: EUR 24,900 (about $34,800).:shocked2:

I wonder what the playability is on this Toulet. I think I'll stick with the Diamond and GCs. The price of these seem like a bargain now. :thumbup:

I look at this futuristic-looking table and can only think of one thing (being a fat man): Belly hooked! :D

And for the approx $34k, I would want the room with the view and the girl thrown in.

I'm a "fat man" not to be confused with a fatboy! :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing, Jam.

Best,
Brian kc

To lay or not to lay? That is the question! I would say it would be pronounced like 2-lay-:D
 
That was John Schmidt's response to Harriman wanting to play another all round match, Jam.

I think its a line from a Turk Pipin book, unless Turk got that from somewhere else.

Girl looks better than that table...her buddy might have a little "accident"
 
While I think the table is butt-ugly, I think they are moving in the right direction of having pockets without any protrusions/high edges/etc. on them. I wish I could play on a table that had flat rail tops for the entire perimeter with no "bulked-up" pockets. Other than that, the table is way to gimmicky for serious pool aficionados to take stock of. I'm sure they will sell a few to the rich-and-famous "jet setter" types!!!

Thanks for the giggles/pics JAM!!!

Internal lighting???? LED technology has come a long way. I wonder if the light eminates from under the rail, and how it can possibly be evenly dispursed across the table surface.

That thing is the shit! 2 lay....lol

:cool:

Well yeah.......
Of course America's products are starting to look more and more attractive. As the dollar continues it's nose dive, the silver lining in the clouds might be that eventually the dollar will be so worthless that we will be able to put some of our people back to work.

Personally I would prefer to see our brightest minds be backed by some of the billions of dollars that are being thrown about like pennies in a wishing well, investing research into a concerted effort for a new, environmentally safe, economical, energy source.

I wonder how many Toulets will be sold.

Those glass windows on the cliff porch make it a little easy to see the balls with that natural lighting..
 
those six designers need to go back to square one and start drawing with crayons again..............

Don't know, but I can tell 'ya one thing. If it were my house, and she was there, dressed like that, I wouldn't be the one bent over the table. :rolleyes::grin-devilish:
