What is the best pool table?

[gtb55447]

I am buying a new house, wondering what the best pool table is? I don't want a cheap one, but I don't want to spend more than $3k either. ANy suggestions?

brunswick makes some of the best tables, not sure about the prices but pool halls will sometimes sell their old ones. I'm not sure that the price of pool tables depreciates much either...

Brunswick does make nice tables. If you are willing to spend over $1000 you should be able to get something nice.

Brunswick is definitely a good brand too buy. Just make sure it has some thick-ass italian slate, and you will be good.

My uncle has what I believe to be the ultimate table, its a Burrough's and Watt's from the late 1800's... he restored it, and it is the shiznit!!!

Solid sterling silver pockets, exotic inlaid woods, and he just put some $150.00 a yard felt on it... its like nothing else I have played on... WOW!

ps. It was just appraised at $45,000 US.

Go get a Billards Digest(I think thats the name), you will see some adds for differnt tables. Brunswick makes some good tables, but there are a few others that are outstanding as well. Also look into what type of felt u want to have on it, also bumper type.

If you want quality, get a slate table and don't pay anything less than $1,500... You should be fine...
