Shuffleboard Questions
What is the difference between the Georgetown and Woodbridge shuffleboards?
Structurally both tables are identical. The difference is in the finishing. The Woodbridge uses a high-pressure vinyl laminate and a PVC top cap on the rails. The Georgetown uses a real wood laminate and a hand burnished stain. You can read more aboiut the differences at this blog post.
What are climate adjusters?
Climate adjusters are devices mounted under the playfield that are used to shape the playfield. Typically, a very slight concave playfield shape is desired, with just enough room under a straight edge for a piece of paper to go under in the center.
What are the different types of climate adjusters?
The two primary types are rod style and bar style. The rod style uses a threaded rod that runs through two mounted feet. There are multiple attach points for greater leverage and distributed force. The bar style uses a single point of force in the center of the board and can be prone to failure if too much force is required. Please see this blog post for images and additional information.on the pro style adjusters.

What's the difference between Pro Style and Home Style?
There are two primary categories of shuffleboard tables. Home style tables have narrower and thinner boards with a sprayed polymer surface. They are typically 15” wide and 1.75” thick. Length is limited to a max of 16’. Pro style boards are 3” thick, 20” wide and have a poured polymer surface. Pro tables are available in lengths up to 22’. Additional details can be accessed at this blog post.
What room size do I need?
What's the difference between a 2-piece playfield and a 1-piece playfield?
Shuffleboard has traditionally been played on a long single piece of butcher block. While there may be sufficient space once in the room of choice, access into the room is sometimes limited. This could reduce the size of the table you can chose. Two piece playfields solve for this issue, as they effectively halve the shipping size of the largest component. Once in the room of choice, the board is asembled with joining roods under the playfield and micro adjusters. The resulting playfield seam is visible, but is covered by speedwax and is not active in play. For more detailed information, please see these blog posts on two-piece playfields and the Saybrook.
Pool Table Questions
What are the pros and cons of wood pool tables vs slate pool tables?
There are two primary categories of pool tables. Wood bed tables are shipped mostly assembled and have a playfield that is made of an engineered wood product plus a PVC coating. These tables are less expensive than slate, but more prone to slight warpage and imperfect ball roll. Wood bed tables do not require professional installation. Slate tables are shipped in parts and assembled in place at their final location. The slate is typically three pieces that are joined with bees wax. Cloth must be stretched and affixed to the rails and playing surface. Slate tables are often solid wood furniture which, together with the installation cost and slate cost, makes them considerably more expensive. A slate table can last a lifetime and will stay true and level indefinitely.
