Fabulous quality Edwardian oak ‘snooker diner’ by Riley of Accrington, still the best known name in Snooker tables. Begun in the 1890's as a Manchester sports shop, Riley began producing billiard and snooker tables in the very early years of the 20th.c and by 1920 were established as the leaders in a rapidly expanding market. One of the keys to the company’s success was their convertible tables which used their own patent mechanism to allow the top to lift easily from a dining table height to a correct playing height. The Riley mechanism also has the additional advantage of allowing precise adjustments to be made to each corner ensuring a level playing surface.
