Most of what we install goes into private homes, and almost none of it goes into a room that was designed for it. A dining table that becomes billiards when the top lifts off, a wall of timber that turns out to be gym equipment, a snooker table that had to come up a lift shaft. That is the ordinary work.

How it goes

• We survey before you commit. Room dimensions, cue clearance around every cushion, door widths, lift sizes and floor loading. Confirmed in writing before an order is placed.
• Specified with your designer. Finish, cloth and leather chosen against your scheme. We are used to working to an interior designer's palette rather than a catalogue page.
• Made to order, 12 to 16 weeks. These are not warehouse products. We confirm your date before production starts.
• Installed in a day. Slate levelled on site, cloth ironed by hand, everything cleared away. Not a courier drop.
• Looked after afterwards. Recovering and re-levelling from our workshop in Dubai, years later, on the same table.

If the room is tight

Tell us the dimensions before you fall in love with a size. A seven-foot table in a room that needs a six is the most common and most expensive mistake we are asked to fix.
