Guess I'm in the minority here but we love our table. We play a few hours everyday. Can count on one hand the number of days we haven't played since we set it up a little over a year ago. Probably play 600 to 900 games a month while the pins might not even get turned on for a couple days. Helps that your spouse loves pool and doesn't care for pinball.

I'd recommend a used table but make sure it's not disassembled already. I took this 4x8 3 pcs slate table apart at my dad's and snapped lots of pics. Sat for a year as i finished the basement but was pretty simple to reassemble it with the pics.

Told the misses I'm watching the hall of fame tonight so we're already down shooting pool and playing darts.

Quoted from sixpakmopar:

Sometimes you buy a pool table not knowing you wanted one. I came across this 1880's Brunswick Brilliant Novelty, worked on it off and on for over 10 years. Got it finished in 2019. I have waaay more $$$$$ in it than a run of the mill table plus all the restoration hours but I did not do it for the money. It was a great project. Like others have said you can find tables reasonably priced on the secondary market if you just want a table.

Beautiful! Never seen such a intricate table. Craftsmanship was unbelievable back in the day.

I should snap a pic of nightsearchers 6x12 100 year old Brunswick pool table. Covered in playfields and dozens of boxes from suppliers

Still needs to put the rails, pockets and cloth on. Hopefully someday he finishes it. Haven't shot on a table that large in 20+ years
