Where To Buy An 8Ball Table?

[SteveLynch]

As I said previously there is a pool table for sale in craigslist for 35

Have you looked there ?

You are looking at between 6-10 k baht to move and recover a pool table ,so if the seller is covering it that will be in the price already ,doing it your self isn't easy

Because that's new price, so I might be able to find a used one at a better price.

If not soon I will order the new one.

Once you move a pool table you need to recover it the old baize will not refit too well it can be done

That is something you will need to considder buying second hand

Do you have a website link for. This company I'd like to have a look ... Or a contact

Price is all important.

Brunswick right at the top, Sovereign not quite as expensive but still very good quality.

Plus, how large is the room you are intending to use it in?

I'm also looking for an 8' table for private use.

Shouldn't a decent Thai produce at 30-35.000 suffice for a private use instead of those 90.000 Baht brandnames?

That really depends on how serious you are about playing pool, private or public use doesn't enter the equation.

The reason why the brand names are more expensive is because the bed is made from a single piece of slate, a single slab of slate at pool table size does not come cheap. The advantage of slate are twofold, firstly, it will snap before it bends, once it is levelled it stays level, secondly, it isn't frictionless, meaning the cloth adheres to it.

The lower price tables use polished marble, usually in two or three pieces, pain in the backside to level and will start to sag in the middle with age, it is highly polished to get a flat surface and you can make ripples in the cloth with your fingers using very little pressure.

Quality and performance has a price tag, and for a quality pool table, 90k is the starting point.

Nah Im after the cheaper Thai price I think.

As much as Id like a nice Brunswick, Im not paying 90k for a new 1.

Theres decent Thai tables out there brand new for around 30k, so bet I can find decent 2nd hand table for around 15 to 20k. Thanks for the offers anyway guys. For 90k I could buy a good enough Thai table and a new click i or a couple of 2nd hand hondas and a table. I just want a table to stick in front of my bar.
