Brunswick Billiards Introduces Zanzibar

In a definite departure from the ordinary in billiards tables, Brunswick Billiards has introduced the Zanzibar, a distinctly intercontinental table bringing the finest in high-end billiards tables from a legendary name in the industry.

The Zanzibar table is inspired by European, Indian and African influences, and includes a rich mix of international woods including European Mappa burl and rails of American Cherry, giving the table a striking presence. Solid hand-textured and etched brass panels surround the aprons and leg pedestals for an elegant, sophisticated feel. Perhaps the most unique feature of the table is the African-inspired brass monkeys which support the rail next to each pocket. These supports give the table a distinctive flair and a bold sense of adventure.

"The Zanzibar table blends a rich African history with distinctive woods and the uniqueness of brass monkeys, giving the table an international flavor and putting it in a category of its own," said Sean Cummings, president Brunswick Billiards. "This table represents world-class design and innovation, while maintaining the superior playability and quality for which Brunswick is known."

Named after a small island off East Africa in the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar is believed to be the birthplace of Swahili and is a melting pot of Arab, Indian, African and European style.

The Zanzibar table is being manufactured by Theodore Alexander and was designed by Paul Maitland-Smith, an industry legend in high-end furniture design and production. Theodore Alexander is one of the leading manufacturers of fine reproductions of 18th and 19th Century furniture and accessories.

"With families continuing to invest in their homes with high-end gaming products," Cummings notes, "the Zanzibar table offers the highest level of sophistication and international influences in the billiards industry." The nine-foot Zanzibar table retails for $24,999.
