12ft Riley Aristocrat Tournament Champion Snooker Table
At Riley, we regard a handmade slate snooker table as a thing of beauty. This belief is as strong today as it was when the first table left our workshops over 100 years ago. To maintain our superlative standards, a careful and considerate selection of materials and painstaking attention to detail are crucial in our quest to hand-craft and install the finest tables in the world.
Riley is the World’s best known brand in snooker, having supplied the tables for a great number professional snooker tournaments throughout our history. Our tables are crafted to the exacting standards demanded by the greatest snooker players that have ever graced the game, and we transfer all of this knowledge and experience when creating every table that leaves our factory. Accurate slate support; cushions carefully assembled using unique Riley techniques; simply the best snooker table available in the World today.
The Aristocrat Tournament Champion is the pinnacle of the Riley range – the snooker table that all others strive to emulate. Having been used in televised ranking tournaments all over the world until 2009, the striking silver and mahogany design is instantly recognizable – a true sporting icon. The table combines quality and style with a modern take on a traditional design and delivers the professional tournament experience more closely than any other table. In the period 1992-2009, 8 different World Champions were crowned on the Riley table, including snooker legends like Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Higgins.
A snooker table is a thing of beauty, built by craftsmen, engineered to a standard envied by many imitated by few. No other company can produce a hand crafted table to the same exacting standard.
Sometimes in life we demand the best no matter what the cost. Some would call our approach arrogant. We prefer prestigious quality.
