This was a gift for my adult son.He really enjoys billiards and wanted a table at home, but only if it had the correct feel to the table.This pool table fits the bill.Is it fine furniture?No.But it has leveling feet, is solid and comes with an amazingly clean, flat 3 piece slate top--at least 1 inch thick (perhaps slightly thicker).
Setup isn't a 10 minute process however.It might be overwhelming for the mechanically challenged too.The slate is heavy so you'll need burly folks to set the slates in place.
Finally, the felting process takes as long as the building of the table.If done carefully, following instructions (generic instructions I found on the web, not in the box), the end result is spectacular.Ball roll is true even into the pockets.
In summary, if you're looking for a fine piece of furniture as well as a pool table, this isn't for you.However, if you're looking for an affordable pool table that plays as well as the top of the line tables and you're willing to put some sweat equity into it, this is an excellent table for you.

These balls are high quality billiard balls, designed specifically for use on miniature pool tables.Buyers, pay attention to the shipping weight and charges.Some companies state higher product weights so the customer will pay a higher shipping charge than what the company actually pays.The increased false weight gives the customer the wrong impression that the miniature pool balls purchased are heavier than the other competitors miniature pool balls... In actuality, these balls are 3 pounds, not 5 lbs as stated in the add.
