As one of the owners of Dallas Billiard Pros I (Marc Orman) do most jobs personally...
The most expensive pool table I've installed was sold for over $40,000. It was sold out of what was then Bowling and Billiards in Richardson. Hand crafted and carved for AMF as part of their Renaissance series, quite elaborate and very elegant. The table was sold to a Doctor in Plano who said he’d bought it for his grandkids. Can you believe that!? Anyway, you can imagine the house it went in....
The oldest pool table we’ve seen pre-dated the Civil War. I was told it shipped over from France in the early 1800's. This was a two-inch thick, four-piece slate, true billiards table (No pockets). The owner of the table told me he'd once been offered $50,000.00 for it! His wife wouldn't sell... The table was hers, and apparently had passed down in her family for generations. I thought that was pretty amazing! To keep and pass down your grand-father’s watch is one thing, but to keep and pass down a pool table, that's a little different.

I've always loved playing pool. One of my first memories as a kid is playing with my cousins at a family reunion when I was about four or five years old. I grew up playing on a six foot coin operated table at the local diner up the street from my house. Don't tell the owner but as kids we found a way to rig the mechanism to make the balls continually return so we could play all day! Shh.. :D
That passion has continued as a Billiard Mechanic. When I was 19 years old I took a job as a helper/apprentice at Bowling & Billiards Supply in Richardson Tx (Now Billiard Factory). That was 1994.
There I was trained by four different billiard mechanics with over 40 years of combined experience.
Anyone who has worked w/ me will tell you I'm very meticulous, I notice the smallest detail. I take great pride knowing that the skills I have and passed down are second to none. We do the job the right way the first time every time.
