Artisan
Crafted
To conserve costs, most billiard table manufacturers
ship their tables in pieces and have them assembled
off site. For maximum quality, we have a trained staff
assemble the frame and cabinet at our factory and
then ship it. You can rest assured that your furniture
table was crafted completely by the finest of professionals.
All have passed rigorous standards for reliability
and knowledge and have backgrounds in the industry.
To ensure the dynamics of design are not compromised
during assembly, absolutely no weight is ever supported
by hardware. The table is crafted the "old fashioned
way", utilizing only time-tested wood joinery methods
throughout the construction process.
B.C.A. Specifications
The Billiard Congress of America is the governing
body that regulates the billiard industry. All Factory
Outlet billiard tables meet or exceed the stringent
BCA specifications and guidelines. We are members
in good standing with the BCA and work hard to conform
to their impeccable standards.

Furniture Finish &
Woods
The meticulously created wood stain finishes emphasize
the natural warmth and beauty inherent in each wood
species. Our state-of-the-art facility utilizes commercial
sanding equipment as well as custom made tools to
prepare the components for stain.
Recroomonline.com realizes that in order for a piece
of furniture to have a great finish, the product must
be properly prepared. Each of our conform to the most
rigorous specifications and have been put through
close, professional inspections so that they may free
of the defects subject to lower standards of other
companies..
Hardwood lumber, strong and sturdy with the distinctive
grain patterns that offer lasting beauty, has been
the preferred material for fine furniture, flooring,
cabinetry and millwork for many decades. Solid hardwoods
have the integrity that only their natural origin
can provide. No man-made material can duplicate hardwood's
warmth, character and authenticity. Recroomonline.com
are built exclusively of hardwoods, containing no
artificial materials such as pressed board, laminated
wood, veneers, particleboard or plywood.
The characteristics of hardwoods allows it to be
more intricately carved, bent and turned than other
materials. Hardwoods surpass substitute materials
in their ability to hold nails and screws. They
withstand stresses, loads, shock and abrasion. Hardwood
manufacturing techniques such as dovetail or tongue-and-groove
joints utilize the strength of wood itself and do
not depend on metal or hardware that can bend or
loosen. Naturally distinctive hardwoods maintain
a beautiful, trouble free finish that becomes even
more beautiful with age and offers lasting value.

way to find it for you.

Table
Legs & Support
It's hard not to notice the symmetry and design of
an finely crafted billiard leg. They are designed
to enhance the overall look rather than just provide
support. To create your leg, custom select hardwoods
are bonded grain against grain for maximum strength
and support.
Solid carved legs are mounted by dropping a 3/8x8"
machine bolt deep into the center of the leg where
it threads into a sunken anchor; hollow legs are mounted
with a shorter bolt that fastens to a threaded metal
bracket. All of our legs are adjusted into position
through a slotted opening, then secured by tightening
against a domed washer with serrated edges.
Our design takes advantage of the meticulously machined
one-piece post leg and allows all of the cabinet weight
to rest directly on the leg shelf. All other manufacturers
hang the panels on the leg with a dowel or bolt which
cannot support the weight or keep the slate level.
We insure your investment will stand the test of time
and the occasional body weight laying across for the
3 bank eight ball in the side.
Most manufacturers use a thin sheet of plywood as
a platform for the slate. With a frame that may be
only 3/4" or 1" thick, often made of laminated
wood and veneered, it is impossible for them to drop
the cross members into a dado cut as you see on the
left. There isn't enough thickness in the cabinet
to do that. Instead, they glue or staple two blocks
of wood to the inside of the cabinet wall and run
a bolt through the wooden blocks and cross member
to keep the crossmember in place. Making a virtue
of necessity, they then trumpet the fact that their
crossmembers are bolted to prevent the frame from
spreading!

Cabinetry

"Magna-Board" is a smooth, seamless surface designed
to utilize the cabinet, to provide unparalleled slate
bed support. Recroomonline.com utilizes twin one-piece
center beams to keep the cabinetry square and true
forever. These cross laminated beams interlock to
one another and are then mortised into all four cabinet
side walls to prevent any cabinet warping or twisting.
We select only the finest raw materials to begin your
masterpiece. Our Quality Control department pays particular
attention in matching grain patterns and alternating
growth rings to create a beautiful canvas that will
stand the test of time.

Rails
Top and bottom rails are fashioned from BCA approved,
solid hardwoods strengthened by T-nut rail construction,
which eliminates movement and provides precise alignment.
Add our Rumble Mount Cushions and you are guaranteed
consistent, more accurate play.
To create the finest quality billiard rail, two pieces
of dissimilar wood species are glued together; this
produces a solid rail that will not split, crack or
cup.
The mounting system allows our factory-trained installers
to position and properly torque the rails to the slate
surface, insuring crisp, clean and accurate rebounds,
shot-after-shot. Go ahead and give them a bounce!
Precision rail tolerances and 100% natural gum rubber
cushions deliver the rebound accuracy demanded by
tournament professionals. Interlocking blinds are
dadoed and permanently bonded to the table rails,
completing the custom furniture build which dramatically
increases the table's durability and overall appearance.
