How much that cost then ?

Same as this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/132142834749?

I guess about £12k.

Think I would of saved 7K then and bought one from Mayfield

£1000 extra for Steel cushions

And worth every penny from what I have heard Geoff? Stops the old trampoline effect you can get off the cushion when something not so solid is supporting.

Exactly! Imagine the cue rack in your snooker room with a couple of JP's a TW, an H&O, RC, mac, Tyrone, etc! ; )

Out of curiosity are tables like cars as soon as you have bought them are they then second hand and if sold on would you be looking at 4-5K for it?

Just looked at that link - If the table for 5k looks anything like that good why would pay more? TBH the table looks near new, if it had a minor scratch or dig I'd actually prefer! As with a car.... I hate to be the first to do the damage and I like a little Patina!

Beggars belief that someone would pay over the odds, but to each their own. I'm afraid that is why Riley aren't the force they once were. Priced themselves out of the market. Yes the downturn didn't help them but how they can justify the price tag is mystifying.

Tables look exactly as in photo. That one was sent to Southampton. Very satisfied client. Stamped Made in UK by Riley. Same quality table for fraction of the new price.
