The $30k model is wicked. I could see that thing at some rocker's house on "cribs".

It looks cool, but I'm skeptical.

Glass is an extremely fluid substance. I don't think that a glass substrate will stand the test of time. Let's face it, if you're gonna dish that kind of coin for a table, you want it to be a family heirloom.

And this Vitrik stuff that takes the place of felt/rubber...how will IT stand the test of time? Will it yellow? Will it hold up to spills? Sunlight? Cleaning? If not, can it be replaced and at what cost? The marketing:

Vitrik™ playing surface:

1. Is Transparent
2. Replicates the rolling resistance of a traditional felt playing surface.
3. Creates a stunning ‘floating on air’ effect as balls glide smoothly and quietly.
4. Retains the same roll characteristics over its entire lifetime.


What exactly is that lifetime? Could be three years. Could be 30.

Good points Jerry.....I did read that you need to replace the surface every so often just like with regular felt...I just don't know how often & at what cost.
