The comprehensive restoration is designed to renew this snooker table while always prioritising the preservation of its original history and distinctive character. The detailed restoration starts with stripping the old polish from all wooden surfaces. Following any required repairs, the surface is lightly sanded—a key step to retain the maximum history and character—before being professionally polished back to its original rich lustre, purposefully retaining the table’s unique patina. To guarantee uncompromising performance, essential playing components, including cushion rubbers, pocket leathers, and nets, are replaced with new, high-quality parts that are meticulously sourced and expertly matched to the table’s authentic design and structure. The service is completed with the professional fitting of a brand-new cloth, available in your choice of colour, resulting in a beautiful, historically preserved centrepiece that offers a functionally perfect playing experience.

You can play both snooker and pool on this convertible pool dining table using 2" snooker balls or 2" pool balls.
