God I love this table. Too bad it's WAY outta budget for me at this moment.

I agree with this one, I do like the modern style tables quite a bit myself, if we are talking purely about appearances. (I have no idea how that table plays.)

I have to also agree that the Centennial/Anniversary tables have a timeless style, partly because they were so retro/modern when first designed, as opposed to all the countless "furniture" style tables that have come and gone anonymously in the meantime.

The only current furniture table style I like is the Brunswick Montebello.

I have to say that (maybe I am the only one) if we are talking purely about appearances then I think the Diamonds are just about the ugliest tables ever made. The ProAm version being even uglier than the regular Pro with that big "bar table" mechanism look underneath. Ugh. I know they play great and all, but do they have to be so damn fugly?

Any Gold Crown looks better than a Diamond I'm afraid IMHO. My personal favorite table right now would be a gloss black finish GCV with chrome.
 
i am fond of this one, but my wife wants something older to match our house.

Looks alone I love the Brunswick Manhattan. Its on sale at the billiard factory right now too. Looks aside I prefer the Diamond Pro Am's to play on. They're pretty tables as well.
 
guess a question that starts 6 pages is not that bad..

Looks like the guy who mocked this thread as a waste of time (while posting to it twice) has been outvoted by 6 pages of postings. Maybe you should read Don Quixote dude.... do you go around on the street and tell people that everything they are doing is stupid, pointless, or a waste of time? I can tell you are not a player or you would have had your hands broken in a pool room, you'd be unable to type! Anyway, the Marquette is the table that prompted this question. If you can't understand the question now you are hopeless....

The Diamond Professional made from Cocobolo was the TV table of one of the older DCC and it still jacks my slacks. Second I like the Gibson by Brunswick.
 
I like my Brunswick Gibson - it's simple and clean and has beautifully figured mahogany. The rails were done by Ernesto with 4" pockets - so it plays as good as it looks. I'll never get tired of this table.

From the Brunswick site these are some of my favorites although I wish I had photos. There's one they don't show that's in the Hoppe book with the checks on the skirts I think is really good looking.

Well. there's something to be said for the most Beautiful table being the one that's most easily accessible...seems I've heard that said about Women too....Anyway, here's my Diamond Professional Table. I've wanted my own pool table since I was a kid. I never even dreamed I could afford one of these babies till I spoke with Brian at Diamond. It was just set up this past Sunday by the fine team of Andy & Stewart from Diamond. The stain is Cherry, the cloth is Simonis, the rails are Artemis, the pockets are Pro-cut. the balls are Centennials w/ a Red Circle cue ball. The matching light is by Diamond.

I was in the Washington DC area all of 2022. While out there I visited the “O Museum in The Mansion” also known as The Secret Door Museum / Hotel. It has over 100 rooms and 80 secret doors that are filled with interesting collections of architecture, manuscripts, music, memorabilia, art, books… snapped one of which is this beautiful pool table... quite a light to go with it.
