Olhausen has kept the business in the family, and maintains those good old fashioned family values as well.  They hold everyone that they employ to the same high value standards that they believe in; a dedication to quality, service, selection and value.  After four generations of producing the world’s best billiard tables, it is no surprise that they have earned the title of “The Best in Billiards.”

One of the major contributing factors in Olhausen obtaining the title of “The Best in Billiards” is their standards in lumber selection.  In fact Olhausen cures and processes its own lumber to allow optimum quality control, processing its lumber to remain stable and consistent in any type of climate.  Being the world’s largest pool table manufacturer demands this type of attention to lumber selection, since they ship thousands of pool tables to all parts of the world, with dramatic differences in climate.  This means selecting only the best lumber that is available.  Trees that come from the northeastern United States are considered “slower growth” trees, which means that the lumber is much denser due to the tighter growth rings that creates tighter wood grains.  

Olhausen prefers North American Hardwoods such as: Red Oak, Maple, Cherry, and Walnut, as well as a few species of imported exotic hardwoods like: African Rosewood, Brazilian Cherry and Genuine Mahogany of only the highest grade possible.  Of course getting your hands on the highest quality lumber is only half the battle, without the proper lumber processing techniques the product would still end up second-rate, a substandard of the results achieved by Olhausen. 

With four generations of pool table manufacturing under their belt, you can be assured of only the highest quality product, which is why each pool table they produce comes with a Lifetime Warranty.
Olhausen has several series of pool tables available to choose from, each one with its own style and elegance.  Here is a short list of some of their most popular pool table categories.
   
Olhausen has a wide range of billiard tables to suit every need and price range.  Because Olhausen is known for producing only the finest quality tables, they tend to attract the attention of big name celebrities, from actors to athletes, and have even had their table’s features on MTV’s The Real World, or in the game room of NHL great Aaron Ward, just to name a few.  But you don’t have to be an elite athlete or movie star to own an Olhausen pool table, you just have to know how to recognize top of the line quality and workmanship, and except no less.

Olhausen Pool Tables

 

  Select Series: Here you will find Olhausen’s finest tables; 10 tables  in all are available from their Select Series.  These tables get the full treatment, with the highest attention being paid to detail and workmanship by Olhausen’s own master woodworkers.  Here you’ll find such masterpieces as the St. Leone, available in two sizes, 81/2 and 9ft, and the Rococo, available in 8 and 9 feet. Though at first glance these tables appear to be master works of art, in which case they are, however they are also much more; they are tables complete with beauty and functionality.

 
  Signature Series:  Here you’ll find your choice of 19, 100% solid all American hardwood tables to choose from, with only the highest grade and quality of American hardwoods available.  With the combination of superior hardwoods and impeccable attention to quality and detail, the Signature Series has earned the honor of being the most popular tables on the market. Some of the tables in this series are the Belle Meade, the Wentworth, the Seville, and the Chicago, each available in sizes 7, 8, 81/2, and 9 feet.

  Modern Series:  With the integration of a stylish 20th century look and feel, this series of tables focuses on functionality, and playability, rather than decorative or ornamental excess.  Olhausen leads the industry in the modern style pool tables with such great examples as the Waterfall, featuring a natural finish on Maple, or the York, which uses spring cherry finish on cherry; available in 6-9 ft tables.  

  L Series: This series of tables has 5 different laminate to choose from.  This series offers a great selection of entry-level tables that make economical sense.  Though these tables may be void of the decorative ornaments that many of the other Olhausen tables feature, they do offer the same quality and playability.  Laminates are hard-wearing and resist marking, staining and heat.

Brushed Aluminum Series:  This series of pool tables features Olhausen’s famous brushed aluminum finish, giving the tables a really awesome futuristic look and feel. I really like these tables as they are different from any other tables that I have ever seen or played on.  This series features their Waterfall brushed aluminum table, their Aluminum Maxim, and their Brushed Aluminum Monarch, available in sizes 6-9 ft.
