Solid grey-stained oak, a natural wood grain that never looks the same twice, sitting on crossing steel legs that give it a genuinely striking silhouette. It's a Rasson design, supplied through the same Dynamic Billard organisation as the Xray and Salem, but it's a different table with a different job: it wants to be the centrepiece of the room, not just the games table in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the styling sits a three-piece, 20mm Rasson natural slate bed on a solid steel frame, with twelve levelling screws anchored into that frame so the playing surface can be trued to the millimetre on installation. At 183kg net for the table plus 172kg of slate, you're looking at the best part of 355kg once it's all in the room, so it's worth checking access and floor loading before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest thing worth knowing: we haven't found another UK retailer stocking this exact table, so there's little independent pricing to compare against. If you'd rather buy something with a longer UK track record, the Xray or Salem are safer picks. If you want a table nobody else in the room will have seen before, that's exactly what the Dauphine offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the Dauphine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA three-piece, 20mm Rasson natural slate bed\u003c\/strong\u003e – true, consistent ball roll from a real slate foundation, not a chipboard shortcut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwelve levelling screws in a solid steel frame\u003c\/strong\u003e – the playing surface can be adjusted precisely, so you're not blaming the table when you miss the black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossing steel legs\u003c\/strong\u003e – a striking, modern base built for real structural stability, not just for looks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eK66 cushions with internal leather drop pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e – accurate, predictable rebound and a clean, finished look at every pocket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub cloth included in five colours\u003c\/strong\u003e – fitted on site as part of the installation, with an ironed-on CPBA logo on one cushion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree delivery and professional installation\u003c\/strong\u003e – your table arrives assembled, levelled and ready to play, not left flat-packed in the hallway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Should Consider a Rasson Pool Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRasson started out in 1990 as a slate supplier to other table manufacturers, before building its own range on the back of that expertise. Its tables have since been used at major professional events including the Mosconi Cup and the World Pool Masters. The Dauphine uses Rasson's own slate, which is the part of the table that decides whether it still plays true in ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the Dauphine Into Your Room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dauphine ships fully dismantled in seven cartons, which is the main reason it suits homes where a fully built table simply would not get through the door. Individual components can be carried up stairs and around tight corners, then assembled and levelled in the room itself. Legroom under the rails is 0.64m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dauphine comes with club cloth included at no extra cost, in a choice of grey, yellow-green, royal blue, electric blue or burgundy, or you can upgrade to tournament-grade Simonis 760 or 860 in a wider range. The standard cloth carries an ironed-on CPBA logo on one cushion. If you'd like to talk through the cloth options or check the Dauphine suits your room before you order, get in touch and we'll help you get it right first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDauphine Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTable size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256cm x 145cm, height 78cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlaying surface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224cm x 112cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLegroom\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSlate bed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm, three-piece Rasson natural slate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLevelling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 adjusting screws anchored in the frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid steel, reinforcing-bar look\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCushion rubber\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK66 profile, natural rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePockets\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal leather drop pockets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLeg construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossing steel legs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid stained oak with grey tone, natural wood grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e183kg net table (204kg gross) plus 172kg slate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptimal room size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.26m x 4.13m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied fully dismantled in 7 cartons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandard cloth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 club cloth colours included: Grey, Yellow-Green, Royal Blue, Electric Blue, Burgundy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePremium cloth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSimonis 760 or 860 tournament cloth, multiple colours (upgrade)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded as standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo American pool cues and a full 2¼″ American ball set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoom Size Requirements by Cue Length\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best playing experience, allow enough space to use a full-length cue comfortably from every side of the table.

If the Dauphine is going to be the centrepiece you're describing it as, a tournament-grade Aramith ball set is the upgrade that shows.
