So what makes Olhausen “The Best In Billiards”? We can start with the slate. Olhausen uses the finest Italian slate. It is oversized and diamond honed to create a perfect playing surface. Each piece of slate is rechecked at the factory for flatness and proper bolthole locations.

Olhausen uses only premium lumber. It obtains most of the wood used in its tables from the Northeastern United States, where “slow growth” trees have tighter grains. This means there is far less streaking and discoloration when the wood is stained. Sacrificing quality to save a few dollars is not always a wise investment. A lot of the time, manufacturers uses wood that is not dried properly, so in a few years you have warping cracks and all sorts of problems. Things like that are common in tables you buy off the internet. Most people regret buying tables off the internet because they have spent their hard-earned money and they have no warranty.

The Accu-Fast cushions used in most Olhausen tables were developed by a rubber company in Los Angeles exclusively for Olhausen after it was discovered the cushions they were importing could wear-out in only a few years. The cushions available just were not up to their standards. We have never had anything go wrong with an Accu-Fast cushion, and they have been on the market for over 10 years.

The quality of Olhausen has led such noted brands as Harley-Davidson, Budweiser, NASCAR and Jack Daniels to form partnerships with Olhausen to build and market their billiards products. It’s simply the best product out there. It has a lifetime warranty to prove that. If anything goes wrong because of manufacturing, we will fix it.

Don’t expect Olhausen to rest on its laurels. We are constantly trying to do and make things better with things like more options. You can create a custom table, right down to putting in custom inlays. Calling your business the “best” is a bold statement no matter what your industry. To have your slogan reiterate that statement, you must be confident and you better be able to back up your claim. You have to shop, you have to compare, even ask for references. We ask everyone to shop around, come back here last, because this is where you want to buy. In the world of billiards, the name Olhausen is synonymous with quality. Ask the owners of Olhausen’s and they will tell you it’s not just a slogan, it’s the truth.
