Consumer Beware
Many American brand name pool table manufacturers have given up and are now importing their tables. Some of them still claim to be "Made in the USA", or "Assembled in America". While in fact they are simply gathering or assembling foreign made components. Often obscuring their real origin in the far east.
Meanwhile numerous new brands have appeared on the market, often presenting themselves as "American" (usually used in their trade name). Not surprising, enterprising traders bring container loads of cheap tables into the country with little or no regard to quality, then sell them by whatever means available, including Ebay. A basic problem with this type of imported table, apart from the questionable quality of materials used is the structural integrity of the frame as well as it's ability to absorb the natural expansion and contraction of wood. The terminology regarding the type of wood used can be misleading too. What is presented as "Cherry", "Mahogany" or "Dark Oak" may simply refer to the color and not the special of wood used. Low cost tables imported from China are often made of inferior tropical wood originating in Southeast Asia.
There can be less in a name than meets the eye. Some of the biggest names in he industry are in fact among the largest importers of Chinese components, a more accurate representation would be "Chinese components assembled in the USA".
All Olhausen pool tables are manufactured in America with American products, American labor and they have a life-time warranty. By the way, your Olhausen pool table will probably be assembled in your American home by a local professional installer.
