Re: THE most AWESOME pool table
It looks cool, but I'm skeptical.
Glass is an extremely fluid substance. I don't think that a glass substrate will stand the test of time. Let's face it, if you're gonna dish that kind of coin for a table, you want it to be a family heirloom.
And this Vitrik stuff that takes the place of felt/rubber...how will IT stand the test of time? Will it yellow? Will it hold up to spills? Sunlight? Cleaning? If not, can it be replaced and at what cost? The marketing:
Vitrik™ playing surface:
1. Is Transparent
2. Replicates the rolling resistance of a traditional felt playing surface.
3. Creates a stunning ‘floating on air’ effect as balls glide smoothly and quietly.
4. Retains the same roll characteristics over its entire lifetime.
What exactly is that lifetime? Could be three years. Could be 30.
