It's an amazingly beautiful modern design, but at almost $40,000 bucks, I think I will have to pass.

I'm curious about the 'just like cloth' claim. I note that they didn't demonstrate any English.

Really there's only one way to test this out... Who's going to pony up? :-)

I prefer baize. Cool, nonetheless.

Sports?

Pool is a sport like golf or chess are sports.

The key question is: can a stripper dance on it?

Yes, someone should buy it and bring it to the next SiftUp!

The balls look rubber.




hehe

ripping the cloth is going to *suck*

i imagine the film on top in not unlike the film that is used to protect screens on mobile phones, except they just came up with surface condition (coefficient of friction among other others) that mimics felt. I am also curious about the english though.

they basically just have to come up with a way to make the difference of the static and kinetic coefficient of frictions very large.

I don't know, but I bet it's hell to clean up after nailing a drunken coed on it.

I'm sure you'll find pool comes under one of the 27 definitions.

Sure looks classy, but it seems like you would get glare off the table.

It looks pretty awesome, but to me it seems as if the balls slow down too much. No wheels on them at all.

You know that they say...people who live in glass houses...would probably buy this pool table.

Would look better with these: http://www.rainbowpoolballs.com/

I agree with the previous comments about how this material seems to slow down the balls a little too quickly.

What is up with the porno music? Are there really people out there rubbing one off to a billiard table?

It's annoying enough when someone stands behind the pocket you're shooting for. Now imagine if you could see their feet through the table too. I don't even like white felt because I find it distracting.

I think it's more of a "looking at" kind pool table. It is sort of nice looking though. Not my style though. I'd be more into an art deco pool table like this one: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6161873.

THE BALLS ARE TOUCHING!!

Really? I would have thought it would be easier....

And could someone explain to me what about the manufacturing process could possibly raise the cost to $40,000?

I have absolutely no idea why it costs $40,000. That's absurd.
I also find the tables support beams extremely distracting.
I appreciate the concept and that some people may love this table, but I'll pass. Perhaps I'm not a fan of some "modern" designs but I'd still pass if this thing was $4000.

I was thinking the smudges, kinda like trying to get an iPhone screen clean.

It's that expensive for the same reason this designer cat perch is $200. Because there are people dumb enough to pay that much for it.
