I have installed many Peter Vitalie tables. They are very well built. All hardwood with no metal brackets. I never played on one so I not sure how they play. You might want to ask that question in the players forum. I would put one in my living room.

I love Vitalie's table. They make some of the most beautiful tables on the market.
Vitalie has always been great as far as furniture goes. Milled frames, walnut on all the rail caps, solid carved quality woods. The only issue has been playability. To my knowledge, they are still using chinese cushions. For the $$$ that they demand for the tables, I would think that Artemis or Accu-fast would be more in line.

Yes, you can buy accu-fast cushions. There good cushions but there different from all other types. There's no release point or canvas backing, I only offer to customers with Olhausen tables.
You have to make money were you can. here in Sacramento billiards store are retailing accufast for $380 a set not installed $750 if you bring your rails into the store.
As for Vitalie table's they do play nice large pockets for longevity I havent played on an old one yet just new ones. They are heavy and solid .

Because when other manufactures decide to make their rails 1 1/2" thick instead of 1 3/4" which is the normal for almost all tables, the K66/K55 rail cushions won't work, that leaves only the Accu-fast profile cushion rubber to build the rails with...and, Olhausen makes money selling the cushion rubber to these manufactures.Kito said:

Just because someone puts Accu-fast cushion rubber on a table other than an Olhausen, it still don't make it an Olhausen table. Whether they sell their cushion rubber to someone else or not, that has no effect on the reputation of the Olhausen tables, and therefore will have no effect on their sales. People are always going to buy what it is they have decided to buy, and I have yet to see someone buy a table based only on the cushion rubber on the rails...as most buyers wouldn't know the first thing about cushion rubber in the first place...they buy because they like what they see first, any other reason is secondary.Kito said:
