The table is Riley Renaissance 12ft
Cloth is Strachan 6811 Tournament 30oz
Balls are Aramith Tournament Champions 1G

I can't get any images to show and would like to see them.

Why not try tinypics.com or similar?

Where are you located?

Looks like a nice room.

I take it that's an extension or or is it part of the main house?

On another note , I think you need 10 Posts before you can complete that kind of operations on this forum .

Stapled on cloths is not the correct way to fit a bed cloth to a Traditional designed billiard / snooker 5/8th tacks with heads tacked in not fully home so that future re-stretching and re-covering you can take off the bed cloth without damage and ease .
it has been done like this the traditional way for years , the way they have fitted it is like an american pool table bed cloth .
you may say whats the difference , as a time served billiards fitter who has to take this cloth off for a re-stretch who will be cursing that it takes 6 times longer to take off and remove every staple

I take it that you are not in based the UK ?

have a word with your fitters and ask them why they use staples to fit snooker bed cloths .
there is a reason as explained why you should not .

apart from that it looks ok .

Clearly you can see the images, Geoff. I can't.

Clearly you can see the images, Geoff. I can't.

Right hand click with your mouse on each image and then click open in new tab and you can see them individually.

I live in Romania, I contacted the best company in Romania that fits snooker tables, and I did ask them about using the stapless, as I saw on youtube that most people use tacks, but they said that it doesn't make any difference, and that's how they do the work, I am sure that you are right and they are wrong. but unfortunately I didn't have a choice.

Thanks, it's part of the main house, at the basement floor, it's my new home in which I will be moving in 2 days.
