What to think about before you pick your table up!

If you have a quality pool table like a Brunswick pool table or a Olhausen pool table, then the last thing you really want to do is try and pick it up to move it, and there are two reasons why…

1 – You’ll rip the aprons or blinds off (these are the pieces that hang down under the cushion rails and hide the slates), which will cost a lot of money and likely rather depress you!

2 – You may well put your back out! These tables generally weigh in excess of 1/3 tonne, so please be carefull.

If you want to do it yourself, it’s quite possible, just take a little time but do be very carefull of the face side of the slates. The edges and the back of the slate are actually quite durable, but don’t chip the face or you may need a new set (at GB£600 a set!).

The problem is…trying to put it back together again. Unless you are a qualified pool table fitter you will have problems levelling the table and the slate, but you’ll also have problems re-clothing the table.

If you have to do it yourself, then drop me a line via the Contact Us form here: http://americanbilliardcompany.com/contact/ and I’d be happy to help.
