Golden West Billiards
I'm thinking of buying a used pool table made by Golden West Billiards in Portalnd Oregon. I'm not knowledgeable about table manufacturers. Does this company have a good reputation? Its picture is attached to this post.
Thanks in advance for your help. This forum has been very helpful to me.

Thanks. I found that page right after I posted my question. Looks like opinions are mixed, depending on when the table was made.
Another question I had related to this was that the nameplate says it's a custom built table. That suggests to me that it's of a higher quality than a mass produced table. Is that a reasonable assumption or does "custom built" not mean a whole lot?

Anything custom made has always been considered better quality. Tell me this; what is the price, have you seen the billiard table in person yet, and what is your budget?
There is no question it's a beautiful looking table.
They want $500 for it, which seems low for a 3 piece slate table. I'm hoping to spend less than $1000, including moving and reassembling. This seems like a better table than I could expect to get for that price. I just wanted to avoid missing some obvious problem with it.
I haven't seen it yet but I've asked to see soon.
