We who play snooker always appreciate a good table. But I must admit, I never realised how much skill & craftsmanship went into assembling a table. Great vid. 👍👍

"Oh hey, sorry - we wanted it in the other room.... if that's ok? Thanks!"

After so many years of watching snooker, I've finally seen how the whole thing goes together! Wonderful!

When I win the Lottery and buy the big house this is next item on the list, and a pair of Dennis Taylor glasses lol.

Excellent work! Could the next video be about how to assemble a house big enough to put this table in? It's the only thing that's missing in an otherwise flawless road to playing snooker in my own home.

it's beautiful ! . . . i can only imagine the joy of playing on a table that you yourself installed !

At the snooker world championship in Sheffield when it goes from the two table set up to the semi finals and the one table there is normally about half a dozen guys working on the one table but for the most part this was the one guy setting the table up, very skilled craftsmen and was interesting to see this being done, well done to you both on a great job , seeing that new table just made me want to have a game 👍

Wow! Amazing, i am so jealous! Great video mate.

Nice, just wish I had a room big enough for one, and a 9 ft Diamond Pool Table! Needs overhead lights now.

Full size snooker table in ur house...not jealous 😢ha!!..beautiful table enjoy👍.

I seem to recall these were called E J Riley tables back in the day (when they were built in Accrington). In fact they had a shop in Accrington which sold all types of sporting goods. I didn't realize that the bed was made of a number of sections but it makes sense. Fascinating build and great music.

After that one game they dismantled the table again and took it home

It’s no wonder they have teams setting up the tables at the world championships .....sooooo much work involved

beautiful... everything's nice especially the house!

A snooker table is a really special object. That they came up with it is amazing.

I can’t unsee the greasy finger stains at the pockets on the felt!

You have a snooker you can play whole day and night even during the lockdown

Awsome, I play snooker but on a smaller table 6 leg but nice to know the craftmanship that goes into making a full size Snooker Table by Riley England..

How anyone can have this installed without watching every single second of it is beyond me!

Very interesting to watch. What I'm most surprised about is the baulk line and D literally just draw on with a pencil! :) But now I think about it, what better way? I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

What an extraordinary amount of work. I had no idea.

I suggest not to tighten the bolts in the legs until the slates are on and the table is levelled perfectly. The beams might not be settled properly if the floor and legs are not perfect even. So there could be a gap somewhere between the beams and the legs but the tightened bolts hold everything in place until they get loose with time or someone leans on it while playing and puts more weight on it. Then the table sinks in and is not level anymore and needs re-leveling. Which could be difficult as it might be that the slates 2 and 4 are affected, which you can't reach properly for re-leveling without taking the cushions or even the cloth off. Lots of messy work and time consuming. If you keep those bolts firm but not totally tightened, the table can "sink in" its position under the pressure of the slates before you level it and will stay where it is after it was perfectly leveled. Only reason why it could become not level anymore then, is when the carpet or the matts (to level the table) underneath the legs are squeezed in after some time. But then you can re-level it very easy under the legs with a jack (gently) as usually the slates 2 and 4 are not much affected or will get back in place when the legs are lifted in position again with matts. I used to it the same way as in the video but when I had to install 17 tables for the European Championships in Malta in 4.5 days, I had this idea and it worked 100%. All tables stayed perfectly level throughout the championship and players appreciated it. P.S. please use 4 men for the slates for the sake of your backs... one slate has 180kg... 😓

I always wanted to see a snooker table built... now I have.

I'm envious, dude... I hope the table gets a lot of play. Just don't neglect it, man. That would be an unforgettable sin. Keep playing, you lucky bastard :D \m/

There’s no snooker in the US and I’ve only seen professionals play, seeing them play at the end really put into perspective how good the pros are

Can't wait for my table to be installed im a couple of weeks I dont think it will have the music being played and think it will take lomger than this video ... thanks for sharing I have been wondering how it all come together...

great work ,, i have a question i have an 8 ft snooker table does the 2 pin pocket plates ( brass ) are same size for all snooker table sizes ?

Amazing. Thanks for this. It's amazing to see how much work goes into it. I'm curious though, how strong is that slate? It looks pretty thick. Could it withstand someone standing on it if someone was careless enough to do that?

Best quality. Good job bro

I am looking to build a snooker room, this after I had a dream the other night of sneaking into my local snooker club and having a game of ILLEGAL snooker (lol). I must have reached the age of mid life/pandemic crisis, the shots I played were very pleasurable. Back to Reality. I will have to build the whole thing from scratch as the access to my cottage is through a covered passage to the back of a tall building and my back garden is 1.2 metres above 1st floor level and the only way to get the materials into the garden is over the top via scaffolding.

If I was going to get a 12' table from the UK, I think I'd have the steel-block cushions version. I didn't see the fitters use a template to measure the size of the pockets! I would have thought the the old-fashioned 'half butt' and long rest would have long been dispensed with by now, even for domestic tables, and replaced with the later telescopic versions. Gets me wondering if I'd be better off going with 'Star' or 'Rasson' as my table supplier, even though Riley were once top of their game. But, I still wish this table were mine! Lovely setting too. Can I come 'round for a game? ha ha!

I watched the game at 25% speed. The guy with glasses is very good, though he hits a bit like a pool player a lot of the time.

One guy installed a whole table? That's amazing!

move the camera for the pink and still miss..🥺😂.. nice job on the table..👍

Great job !

Outstandig work guys!!! Wow!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Regards from Bs. As.

Good one - nice work.

Really hard working woman, she done almost everything

There is something incredibly satisfying about watching amateur players play snooker. It makes me feel so much better when I miss to know that other people also miss, everyone isn't Ronnie O'Sullivan making every pot or playing great safeties. Nope, most of us miss once in a while. Great video!

That moment when you realize you can install a snooker table but you suck at playing snooker

Tables a bit slow...😁

wooden floor would have been my choice to put it on! nice time laps!

Top Arthur 👏👍

I see this is played at my snooker hero hurricane Higgins speed 🤪🤪 good job just a bar need built now 👌

So sick whered you get those black legs and brown lumber? Its sharp! I didn't realize thered be 5 separate pieces of slate! Soo cool. I want one........

Beautiful table, English style table too so got the tighter pockets =P

👍我也自己安装过一个中式的台球桌！

As Elfakir Abderrahim rightly said Lighting is very important, I have 12 led light shades over my Snooker table , sounds like to many but for me absolutely no shadows :) Also now you should also try English Billiards (1 red 2 whites) great game for those that never played it, it teaches you angles ect. The setup video is great!!!

I dont k ow about ur snooker skills but i do know ur taste in classic music. I watched and enjoyed all the video because of music. Nice snooker table.

Well, the slates are really very heavy. These guys must be very strong and can carry a ton...

Hi. How did you order this table and how long did it take for it to arrive from england to US?

I got a couple questions.. I noticed you used resin/glue to seal the outer slates together, but not the inner seams?.. Is that because the table is new?.. Is that how it’s done on snooker tables?.. And secondly… Do you guys gamble?.. 😉

Hat off to the lad that was working so hard the other one buggered off alot. Nice table enjoy

Laying the felt was really interesting and it would have been great to slow the video at that point and get an explanation of what they were doing as that's where the real skill lies.

Great Assembly of a great Table…..❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome job guy’s

I was 1000th subscriber 🤙

Can't believe this... I moved to Phoenix AZ about 9 years ago. I haven't played snooker for many years but always wanted to get my own table. Not easy to find a club here in PHX. I would really like to know how you organized this seeing the table can from Railey's?...

classic music and snooker is perfect thing

Oh for a place where I could even FIT a full sized snooker table, let alone afford one! :)

I'd love to have one of these tables in my place. Also, the second guy could have helped a little more lol

Looks good maybe the owner can learn to play now lol

COOL, one guy does all the work while the other is snacking in front of the TV :D

Thank for sharing my friend ❤

Are those 50mm slates ? if they are you made it look remarkably easy. I had my 100yr old Burroughs & Watts table installed and the slates were 50mm - seriously heavy bit of kit !!!

Work of art

Dear Santa, can you build a snooker table in my living room Xmas morning for me????

Its funny watching you guys playing in full speed

No way, excellent job.....

A work of art. Did somebody count how many times he measures if the table is straight?

NO SE QUIEN INVENTO ESTO, PERO SIN NINGUNA DUDA NO SOLO ES UN JUEGO MAS, ES ARTE, ES FISICA, ES CREATIVIDAD, ES EXACTITUD, ES PACIENCIA, ES CONTROL EMOCIONAL, LO TIENE TODO Y ES LO MAS BELLO QUE USTED PUEDE PRACTICAR, HAGALO Y VERA!!!!!!

There's only one.......yes......one snooker table available to the public to use. It's in Harrisburg. An hour away from me. I'd LOVE to have a full size table and a room to put it in.

Absolutly gorgeous table, im so jealous :p was the installer from England or is there a US Riley team? Also couldnt imagine many snooker tables around your neck of the woods? Anyone else you know have one?

Nice selection of music. Thank you.

Great, but the lighting looks like it could be better.

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين عدد من كان وعدد ما يكون وعدد الحركات والسكون ❤

One worker , one supervisor .

They'll need a "small cue" to use in that top right hand corner! Haha

what puddy material is use for joining the slates?

Had no idea as to the complex and precise steps needed to make a professional snooker table.

Amazing so dedicated,planned is he Noah ...

So how long did it take?

Nice table. When it is shipped from the UK, does it arrive before the installer or at the same time? By boat or plane?

Is that you playing the guitar in the background?

beautiful

Its a beast.... I thought it would have a couple more ribs

I reckon it would be clearer to show one part of each essential operation slowly....

What was the total time of assembly?

What is the total cost for something like this purchased/delivered/professionally assembled?

Till this video I thought those tables were purchased in one piece lol

Fantastic!!!

All it took was 13 minutes 17 seconds to build.. I might buy one too xD

Great Video but should have kept the soundtrack of the Clapton concert playing in the background....

what about the overhead lighting?

Great performance and the music too. Is it just me, or the rolling of f the balls doesn't seem right, or maybe just that the table cloth hasn't broken in?

A 12 footer? The Ultimate. It’ll probably be the only level thing in the house. Simply a beautiful table, I’m jealous.

You play snooker great

When the Rolling Stones are on tour, a crew assembles a snooker table so Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards can shoot a few frames before and after each concert. When they finish playing, the crew takes the table apart, the pieces are flown to the next city and it gets put together again. I'm not sure if they use two tables and build one while the other is taken apart, but if you really want to know, I can find out.

Only puddy on the 2 joints? Why not on the others as well?

How to get in jersey city one of this table and how much?
