Going On a Stainless Steel Safari
Here are a few photos of another great-looking Aramith Fusion Pool Table we recently delivered and set up in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. The Ocelot Beige print on the wenge rails and camel cloth on the slate brings a little safari edge without losing the simplicity of the...
How NOT to Move Your Pool Table: Part 4
Once again we have come across a pool table that has been moved improperly. This owner (and his friends) in Trabuco Canyon, CA thought it would be a great idea to move his 8' 3 piece slate, World of Leisure pool table for a party dance floor. They put the pool table...
Cushion Rubber: Part 2
We've said it before and we'll say it again. Not all pool table cushion rubber is created equal. Depending on the type of rubber, age and environmental conditions, typical cushion rubber lasts about 20 years. Some a little less, some a little more. And then there are...
Before and After: Looking Good at 40
Last week we posted a few photos of a Mitchum pool table from the 1960s. We went back out to Walnut, CA to finish the second leg of the new flooring move and to refelt this unique 9 foot pool table. The burgundy felt makes the table pop and after 40 years with the...
Most Interesting Pool Table of the Week
We see quirky and sometimes odd pool tables while out and about doing pool table service in Southern California. But every once in a while we come across one that makes us do a double-take. Take this interesting Mitchum pool table in Walnut, California. The frame...
Blast From the Past Retro Pool Table
We definitely aren't strangers to having Fischer pool tables around. But seeing a Fischer pool table circa 1960 is another story. It's not the first time we have seen this table. We moved and refelted it a few years back. But it is such a cool looking table we just...
Before and After: Wet Cement Pool Table
Some of you may remember I posted a pic of some interesting working conditions on a job site that involved the Pool Table King disassembling and moving a pool table over wet cement. Well, we made our way back to Laguna Beach, CA, and set up the 8' Golden West pool...

Pool Tables for the Jeffs
Yesterday, I headed out for some pool table service and noticed something a bit funny about the day's schedule. We had three jobs scheduled for the day and each of the customers' were named Jeff. Three different Jeffs, three different cities, three different pool...
Can’t Hide our Billiard Love
After posting the photo of the Smart 8 Ball Car, I thought I'd let you take a peek at what our family cruises Orange County in. Yes, there are giant pool balls on it. No, we don't carry pool tables around in it. Yes, it is outfitted with two toddler car seats. No,...
A Smart 8 Ball
We spotted this incredibly cool car parked near the Plaza in Orange. The owner wasn't around but I'd have given him or her a big thumbs up.
Not a Good Pool Cue in the Bunch
A pool table owner notified us that her felt would need to be replaced when we moved her pool table to her new house. Her pool table felt had dozens of little crescent shaped cuts and a couple of "v" shaped tears on it. One look at her cue sticks and we immediately...
How Not to Level Your Pool Table
These photos are a short lesson on how NOT to level your pool table. We came across these shims that a previous pool table installer had glued to the floor. We are flabbergasted that any pool table installer could do something that would potentially damage a...
Moving a Pool Table for New Floors
Moving pool tables for new flooring or construction is one of the most common billiard services we provide. The pool table is disassembled in its current location, moved to an adjacent space, then moved back to the original spot when the new floor is complete. But...
