Have you guys seen the fusion pool tables?

thanks for the advice guys, think I'll look around a bit more. kinda leaning toward the brunswick now, I just want something with a modern/contemporary look to it.

Craigslist will probably be your best resource. Just don't get anything too cheap...Sportscraft is a cheap-o brand I think.

My parents have a 3/4" size snooker table and the slates used for the bed of the table are thick and heavy.

We had a professional assemble and dissemble the table (its currently in storage, since they moved houses). He used levelling compound to level out the defects in the slate surface and also to the joints between the slate sections so it was perfectly flat. He also individually adjusted the table legs (6 of them from memory) so that the table was level in all directions on the horizontal plane.

Obviously, the most important thing with any pool or snooker table is having a high quality, dimensionally stable (which is why they use slate), level and flat bed. I can't see how you will be getting this with the pool table linked in the OP's post, so it's a gimmick; it may look like nice, but it will be a sh*t pool table.

Man, those snooker tables are huge, but the entire setup looks sooo pretty. Never tried to learn snooker, I just head for the one lonely old pool table in the hall.
