Any information on this brand would be appreciated. I am looking into purchasing a table for new home and am looking for a quality table, but not one that costs major $$$$s. Hoping to find one that fits in a $1,500 budget or less. I have played pool in college at pool halls, but never paid any attention to what "brand" I was playing on. Some advice from some of the experts out there would be appreciated.
To my untrained eye the greenleaf specs look pretty good, but admittedly I could be snowed easily. |

I came across this post with the same question... does anyone have any experience with these tables? every table manufacturer that explains their construction also states that their's is the best. |

I bought a table from these guys in October. They delivered in Early December. Well, at least part of the table. I've contacted them about this, after I spoke with someone on Dec 12 about the missing parts, (felt, corner pockets, corner assembly peices, ping pong top, all missing) and no one has ever answered the phone again.
There was no packing list so I couldn't verify what was there and Pooltablesdirect is seeming like they have no interest in helping resolve this. It is the holidays, and they may be on vacation. But I did speak to someone before they went on vacation who said he was going to get out the packing list that day. It's been almost 2 weeks and they haven't responded to emails, voicemails, or faxes.
I was going to try and contact the manufacturer, but these are the same people. So now I'm sitting here wondering if I'm getting ready to eat a table. |

Thanks for the feedback!! I'm glad I waited for it. I was at a local dealer last week and started looking at the Olhausen tables. more money but hey... it's right there in the store. Greenleaf advertise that their wood is all this and that... who cares what they do to it... it's made in china. cheap labor and low quality. at least that's what I've seen as far as china is concerned. I guess I'll be buying local. Thanks for the info. |

I'm glad I found this post.We ordered a "custom" pool table from Pool Tables Direct in July, 08. Here it is 6 months later and we have not received our table. I figured they must be in financial trouble. We made numerous attempts to contact them by phone and e-mail with NO response from them. I didn't even get a letter that was mentioned in a previous post. Back in July I couldn't find anything negative about this company and they list that they are a BBB member. I guess that is irrelevant if they go belly up.
Having said all that.... anyone got any suggestions for a contemporary style dining- pool table?

Go to the websites of the top makers like Olhausen, Brunswick, Diamond. They all have multiple models and prices to chose from. : Olhausenbilliards.com, brunswickbilliards.com, Diamondbilliards.net just to name a few. One other thing......do your homework. |

P.S. Remember this is a long term investment so do your buying with that mind set. |

I agree. I'm going with olhausen. twice the money but you can see and feel the difference. I feel better about being able to grab someone by the throat at the local retailer if i need to also. It also something that you be proud of. once it's in and set up you won't mind the cost. |

I ordered a table from pooltablesdirect in May and finally received it in mid December. I paid for the service where they line a company up to set up the table. The team who came have been putting tables together for 22 years, and they told me that the table was extremely poorly designed and they didn't feel comfortable assembling it. He suggested I return the table and buy something made in the states. Interestingly, the site advertises that their tables are assembled in the states and to be cautious of tables made overseas. One of their excuses for why there was such a delay was that the factory in China needed to wait for the boat to fill up before they could send a shipment to the states. This company is awful! It is impossible to get hold of them.
