Behind The Eight Ball By Eggy on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Olhausen Billiards make a wide range of pool tables. This is a very good table but not even close to their best one.
This is a maple table with a mahogany finish. The rail sights are round pearl. It has leather shielded pockets, Accu-Guard Cloth (by Hainsworth of England), and American made Accu-Fast Cushions (with lifetime warranty).
This table has had a lot of hard use (kids playing, parties, being used as a buffet table, etc.) but still is completely solid, flat, and true. It has been recovered a couple of times. The cushions are very consistent, you don't experience erratic bank shots.
Olhausen tables are sold by authorized dealers and the warranty applies to the original purchaser. They have a great website where you can see all of the configuration options and finishes: www.olhausenbilliards.com
Olhausen Billiards was started by the Olhausen brothers in San Diego California in 1973. They moved their headquarters and manufacturing operations to Tennessee in 2006. Olhausen sells almost 30,000 pool tables a year and claim to be the largest pool table manufacturer in the world.
The 8 Foot Olhausen Pool Table more than meets my needs.

I miss our pool table - we had to leave it at the other house because when the basement was finished we couldn't get the slate top up carefully enough not to wreck the new walls :( oh well - I'll have to just come & stare at yours for awhile Eggy ;) Thanks for the info!!
Eggy, you play like a pro. Great review!
looks fun
I love playing pool! And my family was planning on buying a pool table RIGHT BEFORE the stupid recession hit. SO now we're on a tight budget and will probably have to wait for the economy to get better before we can spend that kind of money. :'( Great review though! :D
excellent review! Thanks for the info.
I love this game so much. Thanks for share.
