Minnesota Fats 8' Covington Billiard Table with Carved Solid-Wood Legs and Antiqued Wood Finish

It is pretty and the four legs themselves are solid wood, but they connect to particle board sides that support the rest of the table. Pretty disappointing. The main legs are only connected to the main body by the one inch (maybe it is 1.5 in.) thick sidewalls at the corners. If you bump the table it shakes more than it should. If you did something more drastic, like putting your full weight on it, you would likely break the sidewalls and crash the table entirely. For a $1000 table, it really should be more sturdy than this. It could easily be remedied by putting an extra board in there to support the table. We have only had the table for a month but my son already scared the life out of me when he was leaning over the table to make a shot and the table rocked a bit. I can just imagine that when we move, this table is going to be a risky proposition. Matter of fact, I don't know if it is possible to move the table. The sidewalls are particle board and are connected via multiple smaller screws. If you undo a screw in particle board, it is not possible to secure them again. The leather in the pockets are a bit stiffer than I would like, but that might just be because it is new and they will loosen over time (hopefully). Other than those issues, it is a heavy table that is smooth and plays well. Given the opportunity, I would buy a different table.

The pool table came in busted by a forklift I still have it the truck has not picked it up yet to return it.
