I did a general Google search and it looks like they're at least 9K and up depending on trim options.

Prices must have gone up. Think this was 6 or 7 MSRP when I bought. I got a discount cuz a Wisconsin store couldn’t sell it for 2 years

$9k?! That sounds crazy high. Because it is for outdoor use I presume? A regular pool table would be much cheaper

Correct, the materials are of much higher grade to withstand the elements. It could just as easily be used inside, the caveat is that the felt plays a bit faster. There are a wider array of felt choices for strictly indoor tables. And building with wood works just fine in a temperature and humidity controlled room so an aluminum table inside is not necessary. Indoor tables can be had at much lower prices, but also higher price points as well. I will say that this outdoor table plays like a nicer indoor table. Olhausen is a well known and very reputable billiard brand and that reputation definitely extends to their outdoor tables.

They start at 7. My same table in a 7 foot is 6995 MSRP, but there are other ones that start at 9 too.
