Don’t be afraid to ask your dealer if you can see a rail straight from the box. Unfortunately, some top rails are made with particleboard and covered with vinyl or laminate so you can’t tell while the table is assembled on the showroom floor. You can usually feel the chipped wood at the edge of the frame or blinds. Tables made with particleboard will rarely have decorative router cuts. Also, stay away from anything with particleboard (chipboard) in the structural parts of a pool table. There are varying qualities of solid wood, so make sure the table you purchase isn’t one of the softer African woods that are easily scratched and dented. If you don’t, it could be plywood or MDF, both of which are acceptable products in the billiard and furniture industry. Look at the bottom edge of the frame or any router cut details in the side of frame – if you can see grain, it is solid. As long as you don’t try to move your table yourself or have a knife fight on top of it there really isn’t anything other than normal wear and tear that will happen to it.Īll wood: Not to be confused with solid wood. There are no moving parts or electronics. Pool Tables are a very simple item in which to offer a lifetime warranty. If the company that sold you the table is no longer in business, you no longer have a warranty. Lifetime Warranty: Take this statement for what it is worth. This means that not only will the wood species not match, but sometimes the stain won’t either. Make sure all of the wood parts of your pool table are manufactured in the same plant. However, one of the oldest companies in our industry as well as some smaller importer’s table parts are jobbed out to different factories in different countries. Most American manufacturers purchase the wood and cut the parts themselves. Rarely are they shipped correctly and often have sub-standard components. Our most frustrating installations are those we perform for people who have purchased Internet tables. Also, many Internet companies are here today and gone tomorrow. If the table is sold via the Internet only, chances are, that reputable dealers don’t support it. One key to finding a good pool table is to find one that is backed up by a dealer network. While there are both good and bad pool tables being made in the USA, there are also good and bad tables being imported.
This means that the table is not MADE in the USA. Don’t get fooled by rhetoric.Īssembled in the USA: Warning. Premium Quality: Compared to what? Anyone can name anything premium, premier, tournament, accucool, or super duper. Here are some of the phrases you might hear with explanations of what to look for: Never purchase from a company or individual who sells out of a temporary warehouse or one who only sells online if you want a quality product. The best bet is to visit your local billiard dealer or their site before proceeding with your plans. You will be able to determine who knows what they are talking about and who just thinks they do. We suggest that if you don’t already have a dealer you trust, that you get information from several sources for the best results. Is ALL the information that is published that crazy? Nope, but the high preponderance of Internet blogs and forums has greatly diluted the quality of billiard information available.
