A great pool table will hold its value over the years, so as long those animals you invite over don’t think of resting their beer on the rail, you should be able to sell a quality table for nearly what you dished out for it. If our math is right, that’s basically playing pool for free while you own the table. Not bad.
Brunswick Oakland
If you want your pool table to come from someone that knows what they’re doing, Brunswick has been mastering the technique for nearly 200 years. The “masters” command a certain price, of course, with their full range running between $1,979 and $44,999 (a table surely made of pure platinum with golden fleece for felt), but the Oakland pictured above settles in nicely on the more affordable end of the spectrum at $2,999. This is one that can definitely be passed down – or sold if your kids don’t deserve it.
Brunswick: $2,999
You’re combining the sport of drinking with the sport of pool in your man cave, right? Well, Olhausen is going to make sure you don’t forget it with this Budweiser branded maple table. Despite branding on the sides and legs, this table maintains its sleek style without feeling too NASCAR-y. Can be yours for the price of about 10,000 actual Budweisers, though the availability of a straight up trade option is no guarantee.
Seybert’s: $5,660
