What do you get for the man who has everything? Why, the Nottage Design G1 glass top pool table, of course, to replace his other one which costs a little less than the AU $39,900 (£17,585) you'd have to pay for this.
Final year student at the University of South Australia, Craig Nottage, has shown us all that baize is for losers by fitting the top of the table with a patented resin material called Vitrik which allows the balls to travel across its service with the exact same amount of friction but with the added bonus of being entirely transparent. Awesome vid this way...
You can pick one up in a bunch of different colours, either frosted or not, but it's the plain, simple, transparent glass option that's the stunner. The cushions and pockets are all regulation standard. Take a look at the cheesy video complete with lounge lizard metalaphone backtrack and prepare for your heart to ache ever so slightly.

That is the coolest glass table ever - you can even play pool on it
This table is awesome, but being glass it could break easily.
How would you insulate the table's surface? It would be a totally different, and probably more volatile, game if the surface is as hard as glass. It presents far less friction for slowing and absorbing momentum.
thats really cool I think it waits 400 pounds.
Thats a nice costume table.
I wonder how much is it to make one? Iam sure they jack up price on it big time.
That's really sweet! I wish I could afford something like that in the basement.
Do you know any bars in the US that have these?
Do you know who designed this? Pool tables are truly the future of recreation, even if they are the past too :P
I love it.
Excellent! this looks great shame I couldnt afford one
I can only imagine how tragic it would be if this was to shatter due to an unfortunate chip-shot...
