Why did I buy it? I wanted to try a table that was easy to move because it is possible we will relocate in the next few years. There is no selling a slate table. You basically have to give them away. It costs $1000 to move them and have them set up properly, hoping there is no damage. I also want to try a table in the space. If I decide not to move, I will sell this at 50% easily and invest in slate.My “do not” list. Do NOT buy this or any mdf table if the following applies to you: you live in a high humidity area; you have trouble lifting or don’t have access to handyman services; you aren’t willing to buy better balls or cues; you plan to keep it more than 3-5 years; you don’t mind throwing it out when your kid tears the felt. You don’t know how to read a level and aren’t willing to adjust legs as needed.Pros: 1) table goes together easily and quickly (1 hour with help) 2) hardware and legs are excellent quality. They could have built the legs out of hardwood for about $75 more but that would be even less stable with humidity changes. Particle board is actually the better choice for material stability. 3) the bumpers are nice. 4) the plastic frame is a good choice and adds durability without looking cheap.Cons: 1) cloth quality is pretty low, but so is any slate table under $3000. 2) this table could be improved by allowing the user to build the base perfectly to level before installing the playing surface. Due to the assembly method, all leveling has to happen after. 3) the cues and balls are unbelievably bad. The cue can’t weigh more than 8-10oz. But they have to cut costs somewhere to keep it under $1000. 4) the feet need to be much larger. They are going for form over function and it impacts leveling and stability, especially on carpet.Delivery: two weeks early, dropped it where we asked with zero damage.Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Without question.Note to all mdf pool table mfg. If you don’t solve this issue, I’m going into business and putting you all out of business. All you have to do is add weight and stability to make these tables better. If you laminate 2-3 sheets of 3/4 mdf together, you will add enough mass and stability to rival slate playability while staying under $1500. And it will still weigh half of slate and be shipping friendly. It only adds about 200 pounds. Also, the surface could be improved with a 1-1.5mm smooth laminate. Sure there is risk of air pockets between laminate and mdf (think 1980s countertops), but there are adhesives that will solve that. I think the idea is there, but we are a few iterations away from a good mdf table and at least a decade away from a great one. This seems easy to me. At 300lbs, it already takes a team to move and build this. Why not add the extra 150-200 lbs? It’s still not close to slate, which starts at 1000lbs. Oh well.If you know what you’re getting, it is easily worth the $790 I paid for it. Got it on sale and spent the $200 discount on bar cues and dynasphere tungstens. Love mine. Good luck
