Pool Table Construction
Only the highest quality materials for our pool tables
When you purchase a Majestic Billiard pool table, you are assured of the ultimate quality in materials and workmanship. Indeed, whether it is the leather for our pockets, the wood for our structure, legs and rails, or the aiming sights for our rails, you will be impressed by the fine work done by our experienced craftsmen.
Built with North American and European solid wood for unmatched rigidity
On PoolTables.ca you will find classic and modern billiard design show-pieces, mostly constructed of solid North American and European natural woods such as Oak, Beech, Poplar and Ash ( for the exception of the Frontenac models, which use some Hardwoods for the rails and pannels and MDF or natural wood veneer for the legs and other components and our Orleans model that has solid wood rails and an engineered wood frame and legs ). • Click here to see wood finishes. We use natural wood for the exceptional durability and stability it provides. Many competitor's pool table models use low quality wood products, even for their top and side rails. All of our pool table's top rails, side rails and the greater majority of our frames are made of solid hard wood. In addition, all of our models have their own style and characteristics to blend with any type of decor, furnishings and architecture. It is important to note that the leather tooling and other decorative finishes on our tables have been carved by artisans known for their quality of work. With our impressive selection, whatever your lifestyle, PoolTables.ca has a model for you!
3-piece, 1-inch thick natural quarried slate for maximum stability
Slate is a metamorphic rock of sedimentary origin, containing many minerals such as quartz, feldspar and mica. With a low rate of mildew absorption and its great stability, slate is ideal for the manufacturing of billiard tables. PoolTables.ca uses premium slate that is 1 inch thick, in 3 pieces, and polished to 10/1000 inch for the exception of our entry level Orleans model which has 3/4 inch slate. Our slate is extracted from opencast mines, this slate is more robust than the slate of other countries often extracted from underground mines. Extraction through open-air mining (in mountainous regions where tectonic movements are infrequent) allows for us to achieve a slate of great stability that is perfect for the level, precision and durability required for the game of billiards. It is important to note that our slate is diamond honed, while some imported slates are polished with a hand saw; thus reducing the level and accuracy of play.
Most importantly, the premium quality slate used for our pool tables has a very low humidity absorption characteristic, rated at 0.18% (ASTM C121), which means that this raw material has virtually no propensity to absorb water once it has been processed, thus making it immune to any warping which can occur with slates which have a higher moisture absorption rate. The construction accuracy and the material integrity of our slate will provide you with the straightest and most consistent playing surface for many decades of billiard enjoyment.
Hand-tooled, genuine leather pockets for greater ball absorption
You will only find quality pool tables on PoolTables.ca, as Majestic Billiard demands nothing less. When it comes to our pockets, genuine leather is the material of choice because of its ruggedness, sound-deadening qualities and overall visual appeal. You'll find a wide range of designs, styles and colors of pockets to suit all tastes. Each pocket has a cast iron frame bolted directly into the rails. Once set, the pockets remain in place. It should be noted that all the carvings and weaving in the leather have been hand-tooled.
K-66 profile rails made of durable rubber
Like all other components of our tables, Majestic Billiard uses rubber cushions of the highest quality. Our cushions are composed of a high-performance rubber that provides high accuracy rebound. All tables are equipped with K-66 profile cushions. This gives you an exceptional reference, speed and accuracy for optimal moves. All our rails are manufactured from North American and European natural solid woods. They are securely fastened to the frame to transmit without loss or distortion, the exact ball bounce for perfect accuracy. This provides a game quality worthy of tournaments and BCA (Billiard Congress of America) standards.
Quality aiming sights in various shapes
The aiming sights that you find on all Majestic Billiard pool tables are encrusted with precision and serve both as a point of reference as well as a decorative trim. • They are made with various materials like mother of pearl, abalone or composites and available in various shapes, they give your pool table a beautiful aesthetic finish and shot accuracy.
Hand-carved, solid wood legs *
Majestic Billiard's table legs offer high quality both in the construction and the finishes. Since the greater majority of our pool table's legs are made of solid North American and European natural woods such as Oak, Beech, Poplar and Ash, the legs will provide better stability and support, as well as decorative beauty. The wide variety of styles and patterns are available to help you find the table that will fit in perfectly with your interior space.
* The square leg of the Frontenac pool table is made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) laminate with a real hard wood veneer. The legs of the Orleans model are made of very strong quality manufactured North American engineered woods. That way, you don't have to worry about its durability!
Championship brand Teflon© treated pool table cloth
Why compromise on the playing surface, when the rest of the table is built with premium quality components. PoolTables.Ca as a standard, uses Championship brand billiard table cloth, which is Teflon© treated to minimize stains and reduces the chances of water rings if you accidentally get your cloth wet. Championship has been making quality cloth since 1965, with perfect blends of materials for longevity, resilience, consistency and shot accuracy.
