The Viking
Distressed Hardwood. Industrial Hardware. Built to Command the Room.
The Viking is the rustic anchor of the C.L. Bailey lineup, finished in Antique Oak with a hand-distressed surface and forged iron hardware that give it weight in a room. It is built from solid hardwood in 7-foot and 8-foot sizes, with a frame that carries 1-inch Italian slate and K66 gum rubber cushions for consistent rebound across the bed. The Viking also heads a full matching collection: shuffleboard, spectator chair, cue rack, dining top, storage bench, and buffet top, all in the same Antique Oak finish, so the entire room reads as one set rather than separate purchases. Standard Mali wool-blend cloth covers the playing surface, and Velocity Pro worsted cloth is available as an upgrade for faster, truer play. A 7-foot Viking needs a room of about 11 feet 11 inches by 15 feet 2 inches with a standard 52-inch cue, and an 8-foot table about 12 feet 4 inches by 16 feet. Every Viking carries the C.L. Bailey lifetime structural guarantee and is delivered and installed by an authorized dealer.

Frequently Asked
Common questions
An 8-foot table is the right answer for most American homes. It plays well for casual entertaining, serves a serious player, and fits the most rooms. A 7-foot table is right for tighter rooms and family-shared use. A 9-foot table is the tournament size and the right call only if the room genuinely accommodates it and a serious player wants the longer geometry.
C.L. Bailey residential pool tables use 1-inch Italian slate, set in three matched sections seamed together at installation. That is the residential standard, and it is the thickness that holds level for the life of the table. Anything thinner is a compromise.
Most residential pool table cloth lasts five to ten years before showing wear that affects play. Worsted cloth (Velocity Pro) often runs on the longer end. Napped cloth (Mali) replaced on a regular cleaning schedule runs in the middle. Heavy daily use, sun exposure near a window, or liquid spills compress the cycle. Replacement is a half-day visit with your dealer.
