I bought some Simonis 860 HR cloth to use on my home table when I had my table moved and set up at my new home (new to me). The cloth came to me folded in a clear plastic bag. I didn't have any reason to take it out of the bag so it stayed in the bag until I had to use it. To save time I took my rails off the table and took them to the shop along with my new Simonis cloth so they could do the rails ahead of time.
My table was moved and set up last Friday and I stayed out the way while the 2 mechanics worked on setting up the table and covering it with the Simonis Cloth (?). So I didn't actually see the cloth before it was put on the table and the job was finished and maybe I should have stayed in the room with them.
I'm not sure they installed the cloth I bought and took to their shop to do the rails ahead of time. There are a couple of reasons i'm suspicios and one is the cloth has some dark colored lines like water marks on one end and I can't see how that could be on brand new cloth of that type. The marks run close to all the way across the table and it just doesn't look right. My new cloth is Tournament Blue 860 HR and my table is an over sized 8' table so when I ordered it I ordered cloth for a 9' table to be sure i'd have plenty with a little left over. I wasn't in the room when the cloth was cut and I didn't ask about any left over cloth before they left. My wife wanted some of the material so I called the shop and I asked the owner to see if they could let me have the extra cloth from my job (they should have had it since my call was just a couple of hours after they finished). The installer called me back in about 30 minutes and he said that there wasn't any cloth left over! How could that be when he used cloth cut for a 9' table on an 8' table?
Maybe someone on the forum can answer this question. I had green Simonis put on my table years ago and along the border it had "Simonis" printed along the border, but I don't know if Simonis still does this. After I started getting suspicious about the installer doing a switch on my cloth I got under the table and looked at the edge of the cloth that had the border stitched and I couldn't see the word Simonis printed anywhere, but maybe they don't do that anymore. Does anyone know if Simonis 860 Tournament Blue HR should have "Simonis" printed along the border of the cloth?
One reason i'm suspicious is the shop that did my table has the same colored blue cloth on about 8 tables in their show room and it's not 860 HR Simonis. I'm wondering if they pulled a switch on me since there's no cloth left over and I can't find any Simonis markings on the edge of the cloth. I hope i'm out in left field with this suspicion, but the black marks across the table bed on brand new Simonis just doesn't look right and my table is slower than it was with the old green cloth on it.
Thanks for any advice or comments.
