Table down:(

My lease is up, table going to storage.

Installed in 2012 when I moved into this apartment. As soon as I walked into the apartment and saw the size of the living room, I knew I was getting my first ever table. It is a GC4 I found locally in Atlanta from this forum. IDK if the member is still here. He was selling it to make room for a 10' Diamond he had ordered.

I have never let the cats up, but since it was coming down, I picked them up and let them play on the table.

I had made a grid on the table with white tailors chalk a few months after the install. It rubbed off after a year or so, and I replaced it with sharpie. The marker lasted 13 years. The cloth is Simonis 860 and has held up great. I did cut it with a knife by accident near the break spot about 7 years ago, and it has not grown or really affected anything.

I'm the table's 3rd owner. Was always privately owned, never in a pool room. Minimal staple marks.

I had made these blocks, carefully measuring GC4's at the pool hall to have them ready to go when the installers came. They helped save my back all these years. 4.5" tall (6 pieces of 1x poplar glued together in two stacks of 3).

My apartment lease is up in a couple weeks. Resting place for the next 6 months or so. I hired a company (the same that installed it) to break down the table and move it to storage. Well worth the $418 charge.

Its next life is a bit unknown.
Thanks for the good times:)
 
I have sciatica and I'm 6' 3" tall. Raising the table 4.5" has made my back much more comfortable during play. After 13 years of it raised, I have zero regrets, and I will most likely be doing it on my next table, whether this one or something else.
Even at 5'7" I wish pool tables were higher. Snooker tables -- maybe 2-3 inches higher -- help me get closer to the stick. Most carom tables seem lower than pool tables.
