We are so confident that you will love our pool tables that we dare you to compare. Yet, please do not compare our $1,699 pool table to your local retailer's $2000 base pool table that has a one piece 3/4" slate bed and cloth color as the only customization. Instead, compare our $1,699 pool table to their higher end $4,000 pool table." I think I'll buy a Pool Tables Direct pool table instead."
