Benefits of Owning a Table

The average person living to age 70 has 613,000 hours of life. This is too long a period not to have fun.

There are many reasons why pool is universally appealing. A game of pool is a game of skill and as such it offers the opportunity to refine and build increasing levels of ability. However, the game is not strenuous, and you don't have to be a trained athlete to participate. The young, the old, and everyone in between can play a game of pool. Although rules of the game are easy to understand, the game is simple enough that it can be played spontaneously and creatively. Pool incorporates the total experience: you can eat, drink, talk, watch TV, listen to music, and more, while you're playing the game. Best of all, pool can be played your way: alone, with friends, at home, or in clubs. It can be played in any room - upstairs, downstairs, living room or basement - anytime - day or night - without complicated equipment and virtually without electricity! Played in your most comfortable casual clothes or in your most striking formal attire, each game of pool is unique, and is as diverse as its participants.

Gather Your Family Around Our Table

Since 1845, Brunswick tables have been the choice of professionals - and families - around the world.

The rapid pace of today's world makes it increasingly difficult to find time for family activities. Often the hectic lifestyles of children and adults eat into family "free time". Considering the many complications - too hot outside, too cold outside, too expensive to go out, too hard to synchronize everyone's schedule - organizing any kind of family activity can be overwhelming! In the quest for quality family time, more and more people are making space in their lives - and in their homes - for family activities. Utilizing basements, spare bedrooms, dens, and family TV rooms, homeowners are creating rooms that serve as personal retreats, social centers, and entertaining game rooms, all in one.

The New Game Room

The fastest growing leisure sport and the number one choice for game rooms is a billiard table.

Now you can play on the good furniture. Historically, a billiard table has always been a symbol of wealth, refinement, and status. Even today, the most impressive family game rooms are designed to include the sophisticated distinction that only a prestigious billiards table can offer. With an unsurpassed line of innovative and fashionable table styles, Brunswick tables are designed to please even the most discriminating interior designer. Blending the beauty of fine furniture with state-of-the-art engineering, a Brunswick pool table brings a lifetime of elegant entertainment to your home.

The Brunswick Difference

Discover how the differences in Brunswick tables add up to better playability and greater value.

For more than 150 years, Brunswick has been the most recognized name in billiards. The reason for that is simple. Behind the Brunswick name is a total commitment to quality that stretches back to the first tables built by John Brunswick in 1845. The quality shows itself in the superb playability and accuracy of Brunswick tables. In their craftsmanship. And in their styling. Used in more major tournaments around the world than those of any other company, Brunswick tables are the standard of the industry and are clearly the leader in resale value. Brunswick offers the largest product line with attractive options for almost any decor. Delivery is never a problem because a Brunswick table ships disassembled in boxes, which are designed to fit in any house. For information on Brunswick's product line, including home and commercial tables, cues, balls and accessories, see your Authorized Brunswick Billiards Dealer.

Note: The features described can be found in most Brunswick solid wood tables. Brunswick reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

Famous Brunswick Owners

From the time that John Moses Brunswick built his first billiards table back in 1845, the company he founded has remained singularly dedicated to premier design, superior craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality and performance. It is no wonder that, for more than 150 years, owning a Brunswick table has been a matter of pride and prestige.

In 1845-and the decades that followed-a billiard table was a fine status symbol. The mere presence of a table stated that you were a person of wealth and influence…because you could afford a table, you could afford a home large enough to accommodate one! But a man of influence and position had more than one reason to own a billiard table. Aside from the pure enjoyment of the game-and impressing guests-a man could complete negotiations over a friendly game of billiards. Whether commercial, political, or even military, serious issues could be discussed, and deals could be struck, over the neutral ground of a billiard table.

John Brunswick recognized that his customers were affluent and educated so he built tables that appealed to their elite and elevated tastes. In fact, it is because of this that Brunswick became the very first American brand name with true prestige.

 

The first real American celebrity who owned a Brunswick table was an immensely important person in American history-Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was a self-confessed "billiards addict." He described the game as a "health inspiring, scientific game, lending recreation to the otherwise fatigued mind."

It is quite possible that critical issues of national interest-slavery, international relations and the civil war-were handled over the slate of a Brunswick table.

General George Custer also owned a Brunswick table. One can only imagine the important issues he might have discussed with other military leaders over that table.

We know of one account in the 1890s, when Buffalo Bill Cody, Texas Jack Uhumbro and Wild Bill Hickock were touring with their "Wild West" show… While drinking in a tavern in Boston, a group of about thirty longshoremen decided to see how tough these "Westerners" really were. Well, Hickock grabbed a pool cue, and about one minute later, there were four people left in that room-Hickock, Cody, Texas Jack, and of course, the bartender. Now, maybe it was the beautiful styling, or the craftsmanship, or the sturdy construction. But when Buffalo Bill bought billiard tables for his hotel in Cheyenne, you can be sure that night in Boston had something to do with his decision to buy Brunswicks.

The foremost captains of industry - Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, William Vanderbilt, Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan and William Randolph Hearst-all of these people owned Brunswick tables. And we can only speculate what issues were discussed, what negotiations were undertaken, and what matters were handled over a game of billiards.

 

Teddy Roosevelt-our Secretary of the Navy and the hero of San Juan Hill, the President of the United States and, later, a distinguished wild game hunter-owned a Brunswick table. How many of the decisions that shaped our world were reached over a Brunswick table?

Among sports figures and celebrities, Mark Twain, one of our nation's most renowned authors, Babe Ruth, one of our great sports legends, and Humphrey Bogart, one of our greatest actors…all owned Brunswick tables. Nat King Cole, Lou Gehrig, James Dean, and of course, Frank Sinatra owned Brunswick tables.

There was a Brunswick table in the White House during the administrations of several recent presidents. And when President Eisenhower established Camp David, it was furnished with not one, but four Brunswick tables. Every President from Eisenhower-Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Clinton -has used those tables.

A stream of notable visitors, including Winston Churchill, Nikita Krushchev, Charles de Gaulle, Anwar Sadat and King Hussein, all knew those tables. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were known to be pretty good players. What issues of world security, what areas of common ground, what conflicts were settled over those Brunswick tables?

A Brunswick isn't just a table, it's an experience.
