Prior to installation of the table please check for damaged or missing parts. Call Presidential Billiards at
866-728-2253 if there is a problem. The hardware is packed in several different packets. Each packet
indicates a step number. This coincides with the steps in this installation instruction and will hopefully
reduce your time to verify what hardware is required where. It is suggested that you retain the bolts in
their respective packets for ease of installation.
STEP 1 ATTACHING THE LEGS AND BEAMS TO THE CABINET
1.1 Unpack legs and place in desired location of room.
1.2 Attach 5/16” x 4” full thread bolt into leg. Making sure to leave 2 ¾” of bolt extending from leg.
1.3 Attach panel to leg and loosely fasten using 5/16” nut and washer.
1.4 Square cabinet and tighten nuts.
1.5 Place beams in position and tighten using 5/16” x 3 1/2" bolt and washer.
STEP 2 LEVELING THE TABLE & INSTALLING THE SLATE
2.1 Place the cabinet in the desired location in the room.
2.2 Level the cabinet to the floor, shimming under the legs.
2.3 Set the 3 slate pieces in place and pre drill the slate screw holes into the wings with a 3/16" drill
bit. Level the table and slate combination with a spirit level both lengthwise and cross wise,
shimming as necessary.
2.4 Fasten the slate to the beams using the screws provided.
2.5 Fill the joints and install the bed cloth by gluing the cloth to the slate.
CAUTION!! Due to the extreme
hardness of the Maculata timber, it is
necessary to pre-drill for the installation
of screws in the legs. (3/16”Drill)

STEP 3 ASSEMBLING THE CUSHION RAILS & POCKETS
3.1 Remove the packaging from the cushion rails and apply the billiard fabric to the cushion rails.
Note: This step may have been completed before the table was delivered.
3.2 Lay out all the rails upside down and attach at corners using the draw bolts supplied. Keep the
joint as tight as possible.
3.3 Having bolted the U frame rails together turn the rail assembly right side up and place on the
table. Caution: Be very careful at this point to avoid cracking a rail.
STEP 4 INSTALLING THE CUSHION RAIL / POCKET ASSEMBLY
4.1 Align the rail assembly and loosely bolt it to the slate surface using the bolts and dome washers
provided.
4.2 Align the rail assembly to the slate and tighten the bolts by hand. (No power tools please!)
WARNING: Do not over tighten!
STEP 5 INSTALL THE POCKETS
5.1 Install the pockets from beneath and secure in place with round head brads. (2 per pocket)
Note: Before installing pockets, they may need to be trimmed to the fit correctly in the
pocket. Trim in small increments as to not trim too much. Once trimmed, use a Sharpie to
blacken the edge.
