5.0 out of 5 stars He loves it!

M.g.w.c. · August 30, 2023

My husband has always wanted a pool table so we finally made a purchase. We live in a split entry house with a family room downstairs and this fits perfect. It was delivered without issue. It is absolutely wonderful for the price we paid. It is Sturdy and has a very nice quality. The only thing he didn’t particularly like about it were the pool cues. We just stopped in the local sporting good store and purchased a couple more. They had a little bit better quality. He’s retired now and will go down there and shoot pool almost every day. It’s holding up well - I only wish that we had bought it sooner! It is very nice looking and leveled easy. Heads up - It did take three of us adults to turn it upright one assembled, but the assembly was a piece of cake! Very good packaging for transport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great table, great price, easy setup... horrible sticks

For the price I have absolutely no complaints! It's a bulky box so have a friend or two over to help move and set it up. Also go ahead and order some better sticks because the ones that comes with this kit are horrible, they are way to light and one of mine has a curve/bend in it. Over all the table is great, price is great and putting it together was easy.

We read most of the previous reviews, and like many of them, we had issues with the pool table being damaged when it was delivered. We ordered it on the 31st and was told that it would be delivered on the 9th. Was pleasantly surprised when I received a call from the delivery company saying that they could deliver the table on the 3rd! We received the pool table and the box was slightly damaged in the middle. I was concerned that the felt might have been damaged, but when we opened the box, the felt was fine but 2 of the corner pockets were completely damaged. The plastic was shattered and the wood was split. We were extremely disappointed, so we immediately went online to report the damages and ask for a replacement. We were able to get the replacement table delivered to the house on the 9th (the original date the table was to be delivered). The replacement table was in perfect shape!The setup of the table wasn't too bad. It is a pretty straight forward design so the instructions were very easy to follow. We did have an issue that one of the holes was not drilled completely through so we had to take care of finish drilling the whole but it was easily remedied.The table plays really nice...a bit slow, but I think after more time using the table the felt will soften. The tips on the pool cues are not very good. If you would be an experienced pool player I'm sure you would be extremely disappointed...but if you were also an experience pool player I'm sure you would have ordered better cues or already have your own. We have ordered some new tips for the cues but have not received them yet. Overall, we really have enjoyed having our new pool table and was ultimately a great value for what we got. I can handle a little inconvenience with the broken table since they remedied the issue so quickly! I would definitely recommend if you are looking to add this to your household for family and/or recreational use!

1.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favor and don't order anything related to Escalade Sports!!!!!

The table was delivered on time, but a top side rail was broken. I called Escalade and they sent me a side apron. I called again, and they sent me 1/2 of top side rail (snapped in half and put in a small box. I called again, and they sent me a used top side rail that is worn out and and useless. The cloth is all pitted up, dirty and touched up with paint where the edge is chipped. They promised to talk with a manager and call me back. They did not. I left a message for their customer service manager and no response. Bolo said they would assist and did not. DON'T put yourself through this!!!!! I have had to dispute the sale with my credit card company. I have a pool table half assembled that I can not use. Week number 5. 8/28/13 UPDATE: Bolo came through. They delivered another pool table and let me take the parts I needed to make my pool table usable. They were very helpful once we worked through it. Although, they did try to tell me I never called them to make this right, even though I did, but everything has been resolved. Escalade Sports told me they would help, but when it came down to it, they took back all of their promises. Now that the table is complete I am happy, but I still don't recommend anyone else purchase this product due to the incompetence of Escalade. I'm truly surprised that they are still in business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Pool Table. Nice for the price.

I received this pool table with no problems. This was a birthday gift for my Dad and needless to say he was quite happy with it!. It was not that difficult to put together. A little elbow grease and a extra pair of hands by my husband, it was up in an hour. Quite a lot of packaging and styrofoam which was expected; nice extra work for the garbage men to take. It was packaged well with no scratches.The delivery guy does call you to let you know his scheduled ETA which is helpful when having to be on the lookout for it. From reading other reviews before buying this table; many others had to bring the pool table into the home as the delivery guy does not bring it in for you. The pool table is quite heavy to lift. With the help of my mother, (yes mother); she's quite strong for her age and with the help of two furniture moving dollies; we were able to bring it into the house. My dad and husband were out on a errand when the pool table arrived so 'Girl Power' was in full effect.There were no missing parts which I was happy about and the directions were easy to follow. It was a little annoying at first to get the table leveled but after a few test trials, it was perfectly in place. This is a very nice pool table for the price. I can now look forward to having many fun games of pool with my dad and family. I think staying up past midnight playing says it all! :-)

Good table for this price

I am writing this review and hoping this can help other players have a better understanding this table plus a easier installation.Being the first Canadian people to I have to say I love my table. If you want to play pool table for fun this is the table for you.I ordered this table when it was on sale with a price of CAD$1006. It says "we don't ship to your default address" which I don't quite understand.I live in Toronto area and I ordered this table from Bolo Canada site. The second day I got up and found out the price went up to 1299$. What a good entry point!It was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday by 8PM. But nobody showed up Tuesday and Wednesday. I sent an email to Bolo to complain. They replied back "it was delayed because of bad weather"They put on a request to get a shipping refund because of this late shipping and delivery. I was surprised because I am an Bolo prime and didn't pay anything for shipping. Bolo confirmedthat I don't have to worry and will get a refund of 227CAD$. I love Bolo.note1: if your table arrives late call or email Bolo to get a refund for late shipping/delivery.my table finally arrived on that Friday at 6PM. The packages were dirty. it looked like it was pulled from wreckage. The longest box was open on one side because the rails are very long.The shipping guy passed me 2 parts first which were not even in any boxes.note2: When you open the longest box you should open the package on the side. if you slide the parts out of box which may damage the parts.The table base installation was easy. I found some small damages on the parts since they are not major I wouldn't bother to replace them.I am not handy but I was able to do it without any issue. I did spend a mount of time figuring out where the best location in my basement was.note3: You'd better do a planning before your installation. i.e. Do you need a pool table light. I do have spot/flood lights in my basement. But no lights are right above the table. It is little dark.Then the most chanlleging task comes. The slate is 0.75 inch thick and its width is wider than my garage door. it weighs about 50-60 kgs. I am a small Chinese with 170cm/70kgs and my wife is 50kgs.my wife and I was able to carry one slate on an open floor and walk 5-8 meters without any issue.But it was almost not possible for us to move from garage to basement.I bought a hand truck from Canadian tire when it was on sale for 40 bucks. Guess what, my wife and I were able to move 3 pieces one by one in 20 minutes without even sweeting.note4: Hand truck may help.I do have one 6 inch level before I purchased this table. I bought a 48 inch level to level this table. My floor is not level at all so I spent tons of time doing leveling.The 4 legs are adjustable which is easier for leveling. I put on 3 slates and found my table was not square. So I had to level again. The level showed the table was perfect leveled. But when I rolled the ball on the table the balls were not going straight all the time.I did level again. I was able to go under the metal beam and lift one leg a little bit up using my shoulder and adjusted the legs. I spent all most 6-8 hours on this leveling.Finally, I gave up. I am not a professional. I don't care too much.I was very careful when I applied the grouts. I decided to use a very small amount at the beginning which was an great idea. The compound was not thick after it dried it shrunk a bit. it made the surface not good looking.I put on the table and rolled the ball. it was OK. Then I made another stupid decision to reapply this compound. I applied a lot more and much thicker. it was almost impossible to sand it. I bought sanding blocks/sponges.it didn't do any help. I figured out i can use utility knife to cut extra compound. After I cut 95% extra compound i found still impossible to sand the rest. The seam portion looked ugly. I almost decided to buy a sander.I tried putting some water on the compound before I went to sleep. What a miracle! I was able to remove the extra compound using one finger. It is washable. What a turn around! I was able to wash the extra compound in 20 minutes.note5: compound is washable. Sanding blocks/sander are not required. Putty knife is not neccessary either. In stead, you can use one your shims.The table spray portion was easy. You'd better have 2 persons to stretch out the table cloth, . I did on my own. The table cloth was not stretched enough. My table cloth was kind of slow. I am not sure it was because of this.I was about to install the rails then I found one corner cap was broken. I called Escalade and waited 20-30 minutes before it went through. Their customer service looked very busy, I was asked by the lady which part and my address. She gave me the feeling thatthey are very busy and don't want to spend too much time.The corner cap is the piece looks shining in the picture but it is made of plastic which makes it cheap. I wonder why they don't make a metal one.While I was waiting for my corner cap I was trying to figure out if i can put rails on the table seperately instead of asking help. It says in the instructions that 4 persons are required.Eventually, I figured out I can do it on myself. you need to do in this order: predrill on side and end rails for corner caps and corner posts installation --dig holes on table cloth--attach 2 side aprons to 2 side rails--put on and secure to table using bolts and nuts--put on 2 end rails without attaching end aprons and secure them-- attach 4 corner caps and put on screws-- attach corner posts both ends and at the same time slide end aprons into corner posts.Instruction doesn't say "cut holes on table cloth" in stead, it says"thread it". I found that is very difficult.Note 5: you can put on rails on your own. But It would be easier and better for 4 persons to do it.my corner cap arrived after 4 days. I installed and started having fun playing on my shining table. One thing not good about this table is when the ball gets into the basket it generates a bit loud noise.It took me 25-30 hours to install this table. But that was part of fun. Please don't give your fun to anyone else by getting my professional installer.Life is fun you should enjoy it. it's all about your attitude.

Assembly was challenging but the instructions were decent. Table plays quite well, it was worth the price.

Horrible experience. Delivery was late and the woman who ...

K. · October 25, 2014

Horrible experience. Delivery was late and the woman who calls about the time is very rude. Then when delivered it wasn't as described and instead of being taken downstairs it was left in the garage.We then had to haul the weight downstairs ourselves. Boxes were damaged. Most of the main table parts were past damaged.Spent hours on phone with Bolo. Only one helpful employee named Adele actually called us back as she said she would every day to follow up. The lead we spoke to promised to contact the manufacturer first thing in morning and call us. She never did and instead we had to do it. Those parts were exchanged damaged.So all in all had to put together a damaged table or wait 6 weeks fora replacement and take time off work and have pieces sitting around until then.Will Never order anything from Bolo ever again. Table does look nice. Felt is actually more of a Burgundy and not bright red as we thought.Goes together fairly easily and plays well.Might have been a higher rating if this experience wasn't so bad.

very nice
