repairing a 3 in 1 bumper pool table?

[blackflagsailor]

I just bought on of those 3 in 1 dining, card, bumper pool tables. I got it used for next to nothing. I've always wanted one as they are nice if you play a lot of games. Really great game room tables. Plus, bumper pool is another fun form of billiards that I've always wanted to try.

Anyway, after getting it home. I noticed a few things that I did not see when I looked at it. It is missing one of the rubber rests that the table top sits on. I wonder where I could get a replacement?

I also noticed that the wood is cracking through the table top, where the hex felt card top is on the other side.

And finally; when I was playing bumper pool, I noticed that the table is warped... I feel swindled...

Still, I love the table though. Is there anything I can do to fix these issues?

I wonder if someone would put simonis cloth in it?

Anyway tomorrow I'll post photos of the damage.

I thought about re-covering it and I was thinking the same thing; I like simonis but maybe a cheaper, high end, nap-free billiard cloth would be just fine. It has a velvet like felt fabric now but I think the balls would roll must nicer with a better fabric. But I can put new fabric on later.

The big issue is the warp and cracking...

I'll get some photos up as soon as I can.

I took this with my cellphone. I'll get better photos tomorrow night with the digital camera. I left it at a family member's house so the cellphone pics will have to do tonight.

Other then the missing part, the warp, and the damage, it's a nice table. The cloth looks grey in the pics but it's green. Table is oak finish.

The digital camera wasn't much better.

You can see the octagon card top through the dining top.

My eventual goal is to build a game room in the basement of my home that will have an Irish Pub house theme. A really cozy place. I want a good place to enjoy relaxing games, be it billiards, darts, dice, cards, or any other classic game. The room will have a lot of nice Irish themed decor and stained glass accents. I've been looking for one of these 3 in 1 tables for a while as it would be perfect for the room. Plus as a billiards fan of all types of billiards, it gives me the chance to play bumper pool.

I was pretty excited about the table. Too bad about the warp and cracked top... What would it take to fix it?

Anyone have any recommendations? Is this something a professional can repair? I wonder if a pool table repair service could do it or should check with a furniture repair specialist?
