Sideways: Don’t try this at home!

There aren't many pool tables out there constructed to be moved on their sides, but they do exist. This 1970's Golden West pool table is a testament to quality built American pool tables. This is an eight foot one piece slate pool table that we were hired to move...

Delivery with Stairs

Yesterday we had two deliveries in Huntington Beach, CA. This was the second. It is a Lorient in Traditional Mahogany stain and mahogany felt. The only hard thing was the 180 degree turn on the landing, but Anthony and I handled it without a scratch. It's a good thing...

Antique on the Coast

Last Friday we were in for a workout. A long time customer was finally getting his antique pool table back. For the past three years this handsome antique resided in his friend's Laguna Hills, CA home. First, the table was slated to be moved to another friend's garage...

Pool Table Puzzle from Mississippi

This week we were called out to set-up and recover this Brunswick "Dark Knight" pool table. The Clients had just relocated from Mississippi to Coto de Caza, CA. Their upstairs room was a pretty good fit for this over-sized 8' pool table. The clients were supposed to...

Before and After: Setup Gone Awry

You may remember a post we did about a beautiful Monticello pool table by Presidential Billiards. The family had just moved from Texas to Coto de Caza, CA and the company that came in and did the poorest job we've seen in a while. This hall of shame setup was finally...

Before and After: Antique Ball Return

Some of you may remember our antique pool table with stairs job from a few months back. Well, we finally finished things up and set it up in its new (ground floor) location. We started this job in Cerritos, CA by disassembling and carrying downstairs this nine foot...

Foxfire It Up

Yesterday we headed over to The Foxfire in Anaheim, CA. The two Global 9' coin-operated pool tables were in serious need of some help. The table located nearest the restrooms was really out of level. I had Anthony take a look underneath the leg as I lifted the table....

Two Pool Tables, One House

The other day we were called to a home in Orange, CA to relevel two pool tables. Not a real uncommon thing for us. But, this particular customer had two pool tables on his property, one outside on the patio next to his swimming pool and one in an upstairs game room....

A True “Felt” Job

It is very common to when referring to billiard cloth, to use the term "felt" interchangeably.Even professionals in the billiards business use this term. Remember that billiard cloth is much different than craft felt. We recently came across this 8' pool table in...

Pool Table del Cabo

We pride ourselves on being an Orange County based pool table company. Although most of our clients are in the greater Orange County area, there are special circumstances when we do go outside the area. In this case, WAY outside the area. This past weekend I was flown...

A Pool Table Puzzle From Utah

On occasion, we run across a pool table setup that is a little out of the ordinary. This beautiful Brunswick "Gibson" traveled from Utah to Yorba Linda, CA. Now, this isn't your average, run of the mill, antique style pool table. As you can see in the photos, there...

Keep it Covered

  It's nice to show off your pool table, but even a short period of sunlight exposure can do a number on your cloth, cushions and pockets. This table (actually belonging to my parents) was exposed to sunlight for a few months before we decided to get them a...

Newfound Treasure

We were called on to do a setup and refelt of this eight foot Beach Manufacturing pool table the other day in North Tustin, CA. Our customer had added on about 600 square feet over his garage to create this spacious new game room. The pool table had been previously...

Classic Oak Beauty

This is a C.L. Bailey "Forsyth". This pool table is solid oak with medium oak stain. We delivered this beauty to a nice couple in Lake Forest, CA on Saturday. Oak isn't as popular as it once was, this is only one of a few oak pool tables we have sold in the last six...

So You Think Your Pool Table is Heavy?

Everyone knows pool tables are heavy. And most of the heft comes from the slate and sometimes a very heavy frame. But yesterday we came across pool table legs filled with concrete. We were called out to a home in Villa Park, CA to disassemble this 8' three piece slate...

Before and After: Ebonite Pool Table

Here's a 40 year old Ebonite Pool Table with a new lease on life. We went out to Mira Loma, CA last week for this job. Our customer had just purchased this seven foot one piece slate pool table. The table looked pretty bad when we showed up, we had our hands  full...
