Spencer Marston or Greenleaf Billiards Pool Table?

Im looking to buy a billiard table and my budget is $1500.

That budget kind of constrains me to looking at pool tables from either Spencer Marston or Greenleaf Billiards.

After reading a lot of reviews on Spencer Marston tables, from Billiard EX, I'm leaning away from it day by day. I don't know pros or con's about billiard tables but I love to play. I understand that most tables are about 1"slate. I want an over-sized slate on my 8 foot billiard table. I want something that's solid, and not a Chinese product.

I looked at tables from pooltablesdirect.com . Most of their tables are made by Greenleaf Billiards. Are they reputable?

Also, are 3/4" inch slate tables good?

You are facing a dilemma that many have faced. That dilemma is either spend big bucks to get a trusted brand pool table, or save the big bucks and get a mass-market and lesser known brand pool table.

If your budget is $1500, you may not have much of a choice. Its been hard to judge the quality of those tables you mentioned, because it seems that not many serious players (those who post in billiard forums) have purchased those brands of billiard tables.

Either way, let us know what your choice is, and how you came to your final decision.

There was one billiard table from pooltablesdirect.com discussed in the forum a while back, but not much was said.

Also, if you have that $1500 in cash, I highly recommend looking for a quality used pool table. There are so many great deals out there.
