Infinity Billiard Assembly Instructions Provided by:

*Please read entire Assembly guide prior to building the table.

Prior to Assembly, Check that there is 2 x Leg Boxes, 1 Side
Blinds/Beams/Hardware Box, and 1 x Rail Box
**ALL Hardware is packed inside the Cabinet Box
Step 1: Using 1 bolt, lock washer, and washer, connect each straight leg to the angled leg at both the top
and bottom. After assembling each 3 piece leg, place them in the desired table location with the angled
piece pointing to the outside of the table as shown below.

Step 2: Assemble the beam structure by hand tightening using the provided bolts, washers and nuts.
Attach the beam structure to the assembled leg sets by using the provided bolts, washers, and lock
washers and attaching the short cross beam closest to the end beam to the legs as shown below.

Step 3: With a tape measure, measure the cross beam assembly diagonally from opposing corners to
make sure cross beam assembly is square, and then tighten all bolts.
Step 4: Making sure table assembly is in the proper spot in the room, use a level to ensure the frame is
level to the floor. Use flat shims under the legs to adjust if needed.
Step 5: Locate the center piece of slate and position it on the cross beam assembly so that it is centered
to both the length and width of the assembly (you must be very accurate with placement). Pre-drill hole
through slate screw hole using a 3/16” drill bit. Vacuum out debris and secure using slate screws
pictured below (figure 1.A). Continue with same process with both outside sections of slate.

Step 6: With a level or straight edge, be sure that the slate seams are flat and level. If adjustments need
to be made, loosen slate screws and place a shim(s) in area that needs adjustment. Tighten screws and
check for levelness. Use Bee’s Wax or similar to fuse the seams of the slate together.
Step 7: Remove any wax, dust and debris from the slate surface to prep it for the bedcloth. Layout
bedcloth centering it over the slate surface. Starting at one end, staple cloth to slate framing working
from center out toward the pockets stretch cloth toward pockets. Go to opposite end of table and
repeat process but pull the cloth tight while stapling. Repeat on long sides working from center
between center pocket and end pocket stretching cloth toward the pockets as you staple. Once cloth is
completely stapled, cut pocket openings by cutting small vertical incisions in cloth to relax the fabric so it
can be stretched and stapled around opening. Finally, make “X” style slits in cloth where rail bolts will
go through the slate holes (see photo below).

Step 8: Slate bed will ultimately look like this when covered with cloth
Step 9A: Locate the #2 and #3 rails (side rails) and the cooresponding long side blinds. Make sure rail
blind is centered on the rails measuring the overhang on each end. Make sure the center pocket
opening seam is tight. Secure long side blind to cleats using provided screws. Be absolutely sure to use
only the enclosed blind screws when securing the blinds to each rail; incorrect screw length will cause
permanent damage to all blinds.

Step 9B: Follow this same process for the end rails and blinds.
Step 10: For both long side rail/blind assemblies, thread the threaded rods into all rail inserts being sure
to hand tighten before proceeding to the next step
Do not touch the End Rails or End Blinds yet.
Step 11: Take the two long rail/blind assemblies and position by lining up the rail bolt holes in the slate
and the cooresponding threaded rods of the rail. Hand tighten the rails using the domed washer and
nut. (Dome of washer faces down)
Step 12A: Slide the end rail/blind assembly onto the table making sure both corners align with the side
rail/blind assemblies. Repeat this step for both ends of the table.
Strep 12B: Once all four corners are flush, attach the end blind to the side blind using the cleats to
ensure that all four corners stay flush during the following steps.

Step 13: You may now hand tighten the end rails to the table as described in Step 12.
Step 14: Once all rails/blinds are straight and flush, tighten all rail nuts with deep well socket.
Step 13: NOTE: the side pockets and corner pockets ARE different and will only work correctly one way.
To install the pockets, squeeze the top of the pocket and bring it up through the pocket opening from
the bottom. Be sure not to push back the pockets so they are flush against the rail; the first priority is to
ensure they line up with the felt near the playing surface. Peel back the paper to reveal the sticky side of
the velcro on the backside of the Pocket to secure the Pocket to the Rail.
