Kasson tables were very well built. The low end models were way better than most low end models from other companies. This made them very easy to sell to the person looking for a bargin. In '88 I was working for a pool table store in Houston that hooked up with a finance company and ran a lot of TV ads touting these very tables.
The deal they offered was so sweet that if you had a little money for a down payment and a place to put it, you could own the table you never thought you could afford. The ads were a huge success and I sold truck loads of these tables.
I made even more money off these tables about six months later when I left the pool table store and went to work for the finance company. My job: Repoing about 90% of the tables that I orginally sold.

We were a Kasson dealer in the mid-90's.
Nice tables for the money with OIS slate. The factory was in Babbitt, MN
Their top model was the Aurora with 2 large triangular shaped legs.
The furniture style tables like the Gentry were mostly oak with maple rails.
They had some lower end models (Voyager and Terminator) that played well and had
a stout frame but the legs were flimsy.
