I think the only thing missing is tricking out the pool table so you hit a button and it flips over to reveal a big couch. James bond style

Awesome table and room. I'm a bit of a pool addict now. The fact that we have a really nice table at work doesn't help things.

Very nice indeed.

Great looking room!

Very well done... Thanks for posting the pics. I agree with others here, the table looks awesome in that room with the rest of the decor.

Thanks guys. He's even offered to have his pool instructor come and teach my brother in law and myself when we're available. Unfortunately, I already warned him that the room must be closed up tightly when my 2.5 year old comes over. He's not allowed unsupervised. We've already had one cue ball chucked in the direction of the plasma...

Very nice. The table looks like something from an archaeological site with all those scrollings. I don't say that in dislike. It fits in nicely with the room.

Any trouble with shots when your back is to the fireplace? It looks like just enough room.

Great looking room! I think that you could put a wine fridge in that room and it would still be considered plenty manly.

man those on walls look awesome with that tv. were they easy to install?

They're easy to install when the contractor does it...

This room was remodeled so the walls were opened. We "guessed" on the size of the TV because it wasn't even available when the walls were completed. Then I kinda eyeballed where the speakers would go. The W's are supposed to snap into the frame but I think we have the frames so snug on the drywall that I can't get them to snap at all. Not a big deal, since they don't seem to slide. Although I would prefer they snap, especially since we live in the earthquake prone SF Bay area.

In the end, we had to raise the TV, including the AC plug we had behind it. I even had the contractor put in a surge protector that fits in a single gang junction box. We had to be cautious though because if it was too high, it was starting to look odd.

Ah, the fireplace... My father-in-law the pool hustler was too excited to even realize that aspect. I had to mention it to him because the fireplace was also redone w/ new stone. It protruded into the room a bit, and your cue does hit it when you are on that side. So...the contractor had to come out and move the light fixture to the side a few inches and the table had to be moved. You can't see it in the pictures but if you stand in front of the plasma, the pool light and table are centered a few inches to the right. When I think about it, it bothers me (I'm a visual person) but most people don't even notice.
