Playmaster Pool Tables
 

When you're searching for a pool table that seamlessly blends exceptional craftsmanship, enduring quality and aesthetic versatility, Playmaster pool tables stand out as a premier choice. Established in 1973 by Charles Bailey, Playmaster quickly gained recognition for producing heirloom-quality billiard tables that cater to a variety of home styles and preferences.

 

Playmaster's commitment to quality is evident in every table they produce. Each pool table was handcrafted in their facility in Columbia, Missouri, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and superior construction standards. This dedication to excellence earned them a reputation for producing tables "made better than most furniture."

​

A key differentiator is their use of premium materials. Playmaster sourced solid hardwoods, such as oak and maple, known for their tight grain and durability. This choice of wood not only enhances the table's aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its structural integrity.

The playing surface features a precision-cut, three-piece, 1-inch thick slate, diamond-honed to perfection. Each piece was rechecked at the factory for flatness and proper bolt-hole locations, ensuring a smooth and consistent playing experience.
