Buying pool tables - 4 considerations

Besides the surface of the pool table there are 4 other things to consider when you are looking at the quality of a pool table. You will also want to examine:

1. The type of cloth on the top, realizing the woolen material is used on the best tables.
2. The type of wood and construction used on the frame, especially the legs.
3. The construction and material of the pockets, and the presence of real leather pocket guards.
4. The overall quality, feel and bounce of the bumpers which run along the inside edge of the pool table.

One of the best known pool table manufacturers that constantly produces tables that pass these quality inspections is Brunswick. This company has more than 150 years in the industry and a strong reputation for quality products.
