SKU: BP-PRO-BLK Berner Brickell Pro Slate Bumper Pool Table - Black

**** 4 stars Love ALMOST everything about the table EXCEPT: The cloth has literally HUNDREDS of tiny ball marks after two weeks of playing. The marks are due to the ball resting on the table's playing surface. The weight of the ball is creating miniture divots with simple gameplay. This table was EXPENSIVE for me (disabled), but I wanted something that would last. I need something to keep my active and forget about my diseases. I also wanted to interact more with my kids where the playing field is fairly even and I can play a game in five minutes or less. I have tried using the brush (included w/ table) to remedy the situation, But, it doesn't help at all. I would say that when starting a game--about 1/3 the time one of the balls drops/falls down into one of the divots before starting a game. This is FRUSTRATING because I need to adjust the ball AND I paid A LOT for this table. I have no idea if this is NORMAL or not. I am no expert by any means. But, I did grow up with a pool table and don't remember this frustration EVER. I played a lot of bumper pool in the 70's and commerical rec center tables and don't remember this being an issue then either. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE--I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the table. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROS of the Brickell: *terrific and TRUE bumper and rail action *table is "commercially" built *VERY EASY assembly (simply bolt in legs/turn table upright/and level). *VERY EASY to level with "swivel feet on bottom of legs"". *table CAN BE LIFTED by two grown men without much trouble (IF you take all the contents out of the delivery box) *Should outlive me & be a great thing to pass onto one of my kids. Good luck on whatever you decide to do. This is a FANTASTIC bumper pool table. Extended family said, "it's beatiful." Indeed it is...unless you inspecit closely to see all the tiny imperfections that continue to pile up. Just leaving an honest review.
