Pocketless Carom Billiards Table



Carom Billiards Tables have no pocket openings.   Three cushion billiards and other carom billiards games are usually played on 5 x 10 foot tables.
 
My antique table shown here is 100+ years old.    It weighs 3,000 pounds.  The slate is 1.5 inches thick. Sadly, I gave it away a few years ago when I sold my home.
 
Classic designs for billiards tables are still popular.  Modern tables reflect improvements in materials--whether they are built to last 100 years remains to be seen.  Unless refitted with new cushions and cloth, old tables lose their appeal.  By investing in maintaining the playing surface, this table will play almost like new.
