Olhausen Pool tables produces the worlds top pool tables; they’re also the biggest as well; but they’re better know as “The Best In Billiards.”  They didn’t just give themselves this name either, it’s one that was bestowed upon them by people in the know. It isn’t easy to earn such a prestigious title either; however, this title was earned for being the best, not just claiming to be.

Olhausen Billiard Manufacturing Inc was started back in 1973 by brothers Butch and Donny Olhausen, when they pooled their money together to purchase a struggling pool table company for a mere $1000.  Some would call it fate, for their father was skilled at pool table restorations, and had always maintained a shop in each house that the brother lived in.  They naturally ended up helping their father with the work that had to be done, however it’s unlikely that they had any idea how valuable a skill it would turn out to be .  

Their new company was small, producing just over 30 billiard tables a year, however this number was far to small, and they were determined to double the annual production to 70 tables.  By the end of two years, the small company was producing an impressive 300 plus tables a year.  

So take a quantum leap forward to present day, and that $1000 startup company has grown into the world’s largest pool table manufacturer, with an output of over 33,000 billiard table annually, with such classic pool table lines as the Select Series and the Signature Series.

For a manufacturer to produce such a staggering amount of tables, space is definitely a requirement .  So the company built a 250,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Portland Tennessee, where believe it or not, after forty years, it’s still a family business, and still operates under the same good old fashioned family values that it was founded upon.

I’m sure you’ve heard of this company by now, or maybe you’re new to the billiards table industry.  Well one of the most important factors in purchasing pool table is to understand where it was manufactured it the first place.  Today there is a great deal of tables being manufactured in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia; and that’s not to say that they don’t produce nice tables; however they tend to use lower grade lumber.  This is a tremendously important factor, because pool tables are predominantly made of wood, and lower grade wood is far more susceptible to climate change.  When you invest money into a pool table, you want it to last your lifetime, and perhaps even far beyond; however a table manufactured from low quality wood will not stand the test of time.

I hope that I have made my point clear about wood quality, and that Olhausen uses only the highest grade.  

You can feel confident that with Olhausen your only getting the best, the wood quality is there, but at the same time, there are master craftsmen with 4 generations of experience that know how to take that wood and turn it into a masterpiece of art.  Plus you can feel confident that they stand behind everything that they build, offering a lifetime warranty with every pool table manufacture.  

So you need look no farther in your pool table research, because Olhausen Pool Tables has a table for every taste and preference, like the Signature Series, Select Series, and the Modern Series.  If for some odd reason, you can’t find a table that fits your personal needs, they’ll let you design a custom one to suite your every need. Olhausen, “The Best In Billiards.”
