No, he doesn't get a cookie because that's a snooker table, not a pool table.

my opinion on these things... get cheapest craigslist table possible. If you end up using it alot and having a pool table works out; put it back on craigslist and then get the one you want for more $$$.

I know I want a good one because I know I will use it, but I agree with your mentality to an extent. I can buy a cheap table and have the felt replaced, and if they're rough even the rails can be fixed. A $500 table can become a $3000 with maybe a grand of work.

No clue, honestly. It's just another type of billiards.

No way you'll get a chair and your knees under a fairly standard table.

Yes table sales can be very regional but some of those custom one by the small manufacturers are actually really sweet. The easiest way to judge the quality of a table without knowing every single point to look at is to check if there is any particle or wafer board used in any part of it. If there is anything that is not real wood (even trim) then shy away from it as odds are there are other areas that were skimped on hidden away in the structure.

This is fun actually having a topic that I can claim to be an actual "expert" on for a change.

I'll say a cheaper table is a good alternative (I mean quality yes) depending on what it's used for... if it's a cottage or party table maybe not get a super awesome nice ass custom table...just my 2 cents

well, it's looking like I have to make a choice between "used and affordable" and "overpriced dining room table that is also a pool table" because the extremely limited options I've found so far are all super expensive. I saw good things about a company called A.E Schmidt, but like most of these manufactures, they don't list a single price on their site. They do have a nice dining pool table too, but I bet it costs at least 8 grand.
