Nice setup!

I've played some pool in bars but never at home, would definitely be cool to have one in a lounge room, to hang out with friends.

These tables look spectacular! I would love to see more, as I have a storage room in the basement that has been complaining about under utilization. lol

It would be a dream come true to have a snooker table one day.

Thanks! Figured it would tie the wood style into some other areas after using it for my home bar. Before and after attached...

Wow very nice setup. You really have a nice space there

We are remodeling our practice house right now and are about 85% complete

No pool table in this one but the next house will have a really cool and heavy honeycomb slate table with elephant balls and cool lights, and chairs and a bar

Thanks for sharing

The dark cloth looks REALLY good with the dark burnish in the wood...great choice! Now, just keep anyone with blue cue chalk away from your table.....lol. I have light gray Simonis on mine and a buddy slipped in with some blue chalk; a lot of fun cleaning that from your cloth after a bit of play.

Nice looking table. Enjoy it. Spent the majority of my youth in a local billiard hall. Mostly played snooker but once in a while we'd play 8 ball for a change up.

Nice table OP!

My dad taught me the game at a very young age and I’ve been hooked ever since. Here’s my 8’ Olhausen Madison.

Sweet setup. It seems the dog is enjoying some darts, too. Ha.

Thank you

That was my buddy Yogi who, unfortunately, we lost quickly and unexpectedly earlier this year. Miss that dog every day.

Olhausen and Simonis 860 is an unbeatable combo. I used to play a lot. Been to a number of tournaments (as a spectator) and met a few of the pros. I had a real passion for it but ongoing back problems have really stifled my playing. Still have my cues though.

I have a 7.5' Olhausen in cherry with Simonis 9 ball cloth (blue). It has cat hair on it. I'll go take a picture later.

My son and I will have a few games of snooker on Boxing Day.

I’ll put up a few pix.
