Founded in 1897 in Manchester, England, Riley began as a boutique for sporting equipment. In the mid-twenties of the last century, with creative design, high-quality materials and superb production technology, Riley developed into the world's top luxury snooker brand. Riley's snooker tables, cues and accessories are not only recognized by industry insiders, but also regarded by the public as a symbol of British elite culture, and have been the only official designated competition table of the International Taiwan Federation, the European Union Taiwan Federation and the Asian Taiwan Federation for decades. In 2014, Riley Group officially established a Chinese branch in Shanghai.
At present, the Riley billiard tables on sale in China are not particularly rich, basically Chinese-style eight-ball tables, and there are several competition-level snooker tables. Although the price of Riley tables is relatively high, compared with other brands, both the materials and the production are very particular, and it is definitely worth the money. It is made of high-quality mahogany and specially selected hardwoods as the material of the billiard table, with 4.5 cm thick finely ground stone slabs to ensure the quality and flatness of the countertop, and the 6811 special table plus Riley's V1 steel warehouse and high-quality rubber strips provide excellent elasticity on the edge of the warehouse.
For ordinary players of Chinese eight-ball and American-style black eight-ball billiards, we recommend the RREG-8T and RREG-8P of the Riley aristocratic series, the price starts from 50,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan respectively, and it will be launched in the winter of 2015 and imported from the UK. These two tables use the world-famous "Riley V1" steel bank edge and Riley's own energy rubber strip to achieve uniform response and stronger elasticity, and the armrest made of steel warehouse edge composite fireproof board, with the 6811 table dedicated table, to meet the requirements of professional players and events.
Among them, the RREG-8T is made of Brazilian fine-ground stone slabs, and is equipped with a set of Belgian Arome 57mm billiards, 4 single-section clubs and a wooden tripod. The RREG-8P is the top-of-the-line model in this series, with a nameplate by Ronnie O'Sullivan inlaid on the table, and the use of high-quality Italian stone slabs makes the table extremely smooth and elastic in terms of edges. Not only that, but the RREG-8P is also very beautiful and impeccable.
Advanced players who like snooker billiards can choose RAS-12C and RAS-12TC, two professional snooker tables. In addition to the use of the finest materials, both tables are equipped with Riley's adjustable support system, which allows players to adjust the height of the table. From 1992 to 2009, RAS-12TC was used as a billiards table for all professional snooker tournaments in China.
