Mizerak Donovon II 8-Foot Slatron Billiard Table

We purchased this billiards table for our office so employees can use it on their down-time/breaks as a stress-reliever.

The billiards table itself is getting a lot of use and the reason why I picked it was because of the good reviews (beit only a few) and it was within our budget. Shipping was free with my Amazon Prime and it was also shipped and sold by Amazon so I could trust that I could contact them directly if I encountered any issues with the product.

DELIVERY:

The delivery process was good. It arrived earlier than expected. The delivery company CEVA called me ahead of time to confirm the delivery date and actual location for the delivery.However, when the delivery personnel arrived, they had stacked boxes on top of the longest-part of the billiards table which is clearly marked in large letters on both ends of the box: "Do not stack freight on top of this carton during shipping" which they overlooked.This lead to one of the top-rails broken in half (see photos).

PRE-ASSEMBLY:

It took three of us (2 females, one male) to assemble this item over a month. This was partly due to the fact that we could assemble it only a few hours at a time during work hours, AND (the biggie) because we had to wait for the replacement part that was damaged in shipping.

I called Amazon upon immediately discovering the damaged part but they were no help at all since you would need to box everything back up in its original packaging and try to ship it back to them. (Really??) But to their credit, they did offer to discount the price which I accepted since the part that was broken might be salvagable. I called the manufacturer as well and they were AWESOME! Escalade Sports is the manufacturing company and they were so easy to work with! I told them what happened. They asked for the part number and my info, and said a replacement part was on the way!Happy ending, right? Not yet. It took ES three tries shipping the same part to me before I finally received one that wasn't damaged. The damaged rail is over 8-feet long and the skinniest part was the area that kept breaking in two. ES tried to ship the replacement part: first as-is with standard packaging; second, via FedEx with more beefed-up packaging, and finally, via freight truck so that it would lay flat on a truck bed. Before this, each time we received the damaged part, I would call them and they were happy to ship out a new one, no questions asked! So if you find that you've received any part of your table damaged, be sure to notify Amazon and then contact the manufacturer.There is a 90-day warranty on the product.

ASSEMBLY:

Directions were understandable and everything was in its own plastic bag and labeled clearly. You'll definitely need a power-drill and a smaller power-drill to get things assembled quickly.

The slatron was quite heavy but we managed to get it on. We also didn't need to use the shims that came with the table as our floor and the table were all level.

Be sure to be in a ventilated area when you start to put the felt on using the spray adhesive. We are in a work environment so the smell of the fumes went everywhere and we got a little loopy.

USE:

Once we got everything set up we tested it out and it worked great! We purchased red chalk for the cue sticks since the felt on the table was red. The table also came with a brush which doesn't work as well as a lint brush since the felt tends to ball up everywhere on the table within the first few weeks of use.

It's a hefty piece and so far has held up with lots of daily use--we've had it for three months now. If you plan to use this as a "showcase" piece you might be better off spending more money but for your average everyday run-of-the-mill billiards table this is a great buy!

I gave it 4 stars for quality, speedy initial delivery, and great customer service from Escalade Sports. -1 Star for what a pain it was to assemble and wait for a replacement part.

Wow.. Took 7 days to ship this item but all in all it came fast and on time. The company that delivered it was very nice and always calling me to let me know what's going on with my purchase. They don't communicate we'll with amazon but the did keep me updated.. I thought it was going to be a nightmare putting it together but I did it all by myself... So if I can do it.. You can also.. I love my pool table.. It's up and ready To go.. This is a great buy for a great price.

Not.bad for price.Table is a little uneven. Slatron came in three pieces that need to be glued together.It is to sand gleded seams level for good roll of balls and tohave neat felt important .Assembly is impoosible without a complete set of rachet wrenches The cheap wrench that is supplied is worthless.Cue sticks are o.k.but heavier cues would be better.Table is sturdy and red felt is attractive.Chalk should be red instead of blue.(minor complaint.)
