Designer Billiards

Reviews

I was needing to replace my pool table and looking for something of good quality to double up as a dining table. When I first saw the roll-over design it was clear it could be exactly what I was looking for, but I was rather nervous about finding anyone with the craftsmanship skills to build to the standard I wanted. Chris and Tim invited me to visit their workshop where we could not only see the construction design, reinforcement and roll over mechanism in detail, but also feel how a (partially finished) table actually operated. The passion and enthusiasm they had towards their work, combined with their evident skill was sufficient to convince us to place the order - for a Farmhouse Rollover in Oak, plus matching bench. The table has just been delivered, and so far has lived up to every expectation: a beautiful finish and wonderfully easy/smooth mechanism. Swapping between pool and dining mode is a doddle and only needs one person. I would readily recommend, and we found our visit to the workshop for us was hugely reassuring that we were ordering a quality item, that whilst not cheap is excellent value for money.

Beautifully made bespoke pool table. My client was thrilled and the team were so helpful and very knowledgeable. I have no hesitation in recommending Designer Billiards.

I spent quite some time researching pool tables and companies that sell them and after visiting a couple of large retailers, I left unimpressed. Then found Designer Billiards, visited Chris at Great Bedwyn and immediately found what I was looking for. A hand built table, made by craftsmen that know what they are doing and care passionately about their craft. I love my table, which they built to my exact specification regarding pocket type, inlays, table height, type of wood, finish of wood and cloth. They cater for all budgets and tastes and I can thoroughly recommend their work and also aftercare service. Thanks Chris, Tim and the team.

I saw the design for this table and knew immediately it was just what we wanted. We need a project table to work on by day and then a pool table at night. Chris (one of the owners) and his crew arrived to install it. A nicer bunch of guys are hard to find. Installation was a joy. The table looks great (see pictures), the mechanism is great and easy to use, the table is dead solid when locked into both positions ( which was a worry before delivery) and the table plays like a dream (you just don't get a true travel on pub tables) I cant recommend this table enough if you want a good looking, well made and the ability to change it into a good looking ordinary table.

This company couldn’t do more to help and assist my purchase of a Spartan Rollover Pool Table. I strongly recommend a visit to their office near Bristol and have a go on their tables. The Spartan Rollover Table beats everything and is the best gift I have ever bought myself (without wheels!). I had mine made from Oak with Ash inlay which suits my room. It looks fabulous and when friends visit they remark on the table.....only at the end of the meal do they get to see why I changed my dining table! I would strongly recommend this company to anyone wanting to consider such a welcome addition to their home or office.
