Does anyone know anything about this tables

are they any good?

Cheap generic snooker table from China. Also sold as the Corinthian, the Rayleigh, the Sovereign amongst other names. Poor quality throughout. Very poor quality timber, questionable `Northern Rubber` and poor imitation 6811 cloth. Steer well clear.

If you want to get one from the Germany area, it might be worth getting in contact with Rolf Lippe (Rolf.Lippe@t-online.de) - he might be able to get you a refurbished Riley or a new Wiraka.

Or try www.wik.pl - If I'm not mistaken they were associates of the EASB, and the Ivy Rooms in Carlow had some of these.

Or, if you can wait until May, get one of the tables used at the Austrian Open (http://www.snooker-wels.at/turnierinfo_en.html) the last two years, they were sold off at reasonable prices.

Hello

What do you think about Wiraka M2 ? http://www.wiraka.com/home/st.html

[vucko117]

Za4 can you please contact me at snookerasocijacijasrbije @ gmail dot com thanks.
Daniel, are those tables any good? I haven't got any experience with them

[Freddie Ng]

try get wiraka M1.. the cushion is better ~~

[vucko117]

OK cool. And what do you think about BCE tables. Are those any good?

[roykay]

Why not go for one of the best tables ever made,a Burroughes and Watts steel block table (often on Ebay) and get a good fitter to re rubber ,cover and set it up for you.Thats what I did and have never regretted it. Most fitters would probably find one for you.
Why take a chance with some of the new rubbish.
You will finish up with not only a fine table that everyone wants to play on but one that will keep its value and will be an antique.

Never try BCE tables before .. but Wiraka tables are famous in some Asia country .. heard that they were used in Sea Games(Asian Game) too ..
Local clubs install those tables when they are hosting national tournaments ..
