I recently relocated to the Baton Rouge area and have a billiards table to install at the new home. It's a standard 8 foot Olhausen that has been professionally disassembled, slate is in 3 pieces, etc.

Is there a recommended pool table installer in the area?

My advice would be to call a billiards supplier and talk to them. Just about all places that sell tables will either have someone on hand or an independent contractor to set up the table to specs.


Edited to add this: Perhaps call around to a few pool halls and ask them who they use to redo their cloths or set-up their tables.

i would stand there and make sure its 100% level before letting them walk out the door.

its probably easier on a concrete pad than a house with a subfloor and crawlspace.

Yes, I watched the initial setup. Outstanding care taken and tremendous attention to leveling, leveling, leveling each step of the way. Great playing table

its insane. its not like you can just put a playing card under one leg; no no..the table is so heavy that lifting one leg only raises THAT 1/4 of the table. special care must be taken to level 4 different places.

crazy
