When shopping for a pool table for your house, consider several facts and decisions you must make.  A pool table should be a beautiful piece of furniture as well as a gaming piece.  An old or vintage table has much more character and has weathered all the elements of life.  If it could talk, it would have stories to tell.  A new table has no character and has not proven that it will be playable or hold it's value over any length of time since production values have decreased over the years.  It's all about profit and mass production now..not quality and pride of craftmanship....what do you want to invest in??????pool table and vintage
