Here’s a recent job we did in Capistrano Beach, CA. We moved this 8′ Beach Billiards pool table from storage in San Clemente, CA to our customer’s garage and set it up.

Here is a recent job in La Habra Heights,CA. Our customer is re-carpeting the floor in the Billiard Room, so our job was to disassemble this 1970′s Murrey “La Grande” pool table. When we arrived at the home, I took a look under the pool table to see whether it was a one or a [...]

Right Way - proper pool table cushion height.

Yet another addition to our Hall of Shame. A very nice fellow from Long Beach, CA brought his rails into the shop a couple of days ago. He explained to us that he had hired a pool table company in Bellflower, CA to recushion his “dead” pool table rails and to refelt the rails to [...]

Most people are surprised at how little space a pool table takes up when disassembled for storage.

Movable Pool Table

This 8′ 3pc. slate pool table in Chino Hills, CA was in a space that was a wee bit too tight. But this didn’t deter the homeowner. Our client hired us to setup his pool table which had been stored in the garage for several years. He was really intent on setting his pool table [...]

Yet Another American Heritage with Dead Cushions

3 Posted by Pool Table King on June 17, 2010

This week in Fullerton, CA we finished up another American Heritage recushion job. A great looking, well built pool table that is about 5 years old should not need recushioning. I just can’t believe how many of these pool tables have bad rubber! But now, with new cushions and new felt (and a new spot [...]

Getting the Most Out of Your Gameroom

By not placing their pool table in the center of the room, this nice family is going to have space for other furniture in their upstairs gameroom. This 8′ Chinese import pool table was inherited with the purchase of the house, it was originally setup in another room. When our customer moved in they wanted [...]

A few months back a nice gentleman named Ben purchased some cloth from us. He explained that he had a cabin in the mountains of Wrightwood, CA and wanted to refelt his own table. He picked up his special ordered orange rail cloth and he went his way. Today, Ben walked through the door with [...]
