I have had this Omega pool table for five years. Do not let that length of time suggest its condition is anything other than excellent.

It is still as new, mainly due to lack of use as a pool table, and more use as a clothes/paperwork storage device! And also that I play most of my pool at Riley's or other venues, depending on where the matches are.

Mine is beech in colour with blue cloth. I purchased it from www.pooltablesonline.co.uk in 2005 for around £575. I would estimate that perhaps only a couple of hundred frames have been played on it, at most. Comes with a set of 'spots and stripes' balls, with triangle, diamond, brush, table cover, cue rack, assortment of cues.

It is surplus to requirements and may as well go to a home where it will get used. Or workplace, etc. - it's certainly good enough quality to be used as a high usage table in a pub or club.

In all the time I have had it, it has played perfectly true, and has been kept in the dark - thus suffering no fading whatsoever. There is a tiny piece of the beech veneer missing (about a square centimetre or so) on the bottom edge on one side of the box section body. This is barely noticeable, although is the only noticeable thing on it! There may well be a couple of usage marks that are generally unnoticeable, but that will be me being hyper-critical.

Will intend to upload some pics of the actual table in due course - watch this space! But thought I'd get this thread up to see if anyone on here might be interested. Will probably have to go on eBay after that. Might even chuck in the light for the right price/buyer!

This table is heavy though, as it uses a proper slate bed, but the table does dismantle into more manageable chunks. Put it this way, I would happily play league games on this table.


So, anybody interested? Make me an offer! :deal2:


EDIT: Pictures added - price IRO £300. :deal2:

I'm going to measure it later. The biggest part (length and width) is the top frame that has the pocket edgings in. The next biggest is the box section, although it is taller. I suspect that the gap between the suspension towers may scupper the plan to fit it in a Leggie, although the length may mean if you're tall, you may need to move the driver's seat forward slightly. Will report later (and hopefully sort some pics too, although that might not be until after the weekend).

Hmmm - there might *just* be enough room in the Leggie. I'll have to dismantle it and try a trial fitting. I'll see if I get chance at the weekend to do this.

Now I've got some bolts for the rear seats (I misplaced them! /pan), I'll be putting them back in, and getting on with the pics properly! :D I still want to do a test fitting of the pool table in the Leggie too, if I can, although my neighbour is interested in the table, and so is Mrs B's work!

Will keep updating!
