Maxim Olhausen Pool Table

The Maxim brings a clean, contemporary look to a serious game room. With its enclosed solid wood rail system, flat-paneled apron, and pedestal base legs, it blends modern style with the substantial build buyers want in a full-size billiards table. It is a strong fit for households across the Traverse City area, whether you are furnishing a finished basement, a recreation room, or a dedicated entertainment space in nearby East Jordan, Prudenville, or St. Helen.

Offered through Phillips Lifestyles, the Maxim pairs the craftsmanship expected from Olhausen with local support that can help turn a table purchase into a smoother project. Buyers can request guidance through installation and maintenance services, and the showroom experience adds another layer of confidence for selecting the right table size and finish. For families and players who want a distinctive centerpiece without sacrificing play quality, the Maxim stands out as a polished, practical choice.

Features and construction

The Maxim is designed to make an immediate visual statement. Its modern enclosed solid wood rail system gives the table a clean architectural profile, while the flat-paneled apron and pedestal base legs create a grounded, furniture-like appearance. That combination makes it especially appealing for buyers who want the game room centerpiece to feel intentional rather than purely utilitarian.

Play quality matters just as much as style, and the Maxim is built with Accu-Fast Cushions for responsive, consistent bank play. Olhausen also backs the table with a lifetime warranty, which adds meaningful long-term reassurance for homeowners investing in a high-ticket entertainment piece. In a durable billiards table, the details matter: stable structure, reliable cushion response, and a finish package that holds up beautifully in everyday use.

That balance of presentation and performance makes the Maxim especially appealing in homes where the table will be used often and seen often. It can anchor a family room or finished lower level just as naturally as a dedicated billiards room, giving the space a more refined look without losing its purpose. The result is a table that feels built for play first, but finished for the room around it.

Sizes, materials, and finish options

The Maxim is available in multiple playing sizes, including 7 ft, 8 ft, 8 1/2 ft, and 9 ft. Outside dimensions vary by size, so it can be matched more precisely to the room you have available. That flexibility is useful for local buyers comparing basement layouts, family rooms, and multipurpose entertainment spaces.

Material options include maple, oak, cherry, walnut, or laminate, with all Olhausen finishes available. Upgraded brushed aluminum or decorative metals are also available, which broadens the styling range even further. The main image is shown in brushed aluminum metal with matte black lacquer on maple rails, giving a sense of how sharply the design can present in a modern setting.

For shoppers comparing tables across the greater Traverse City market, that variety is a major advantage. It allows the Maxim to suit a range of interiors, from warm wood-heavy rooms to more contemporary spaces that lean toward contrast and metallic accents. In homes where the billiards table needs to coordinate with existing furniture or a custom finish palette, those options help the Maxim feel integrated rather than added on.

The dimensional choices also make room planning more practical. A larger table can suit a dedicated entertainment area, while the smaller configurations provide a more comfortable fit in spaces that need to serve more than one function. That adaptability is one reason the Maxim works well for households balancing style, playing comfort, and day-to-day livability.

Phillips Lifestyles support

Phillips Lifestyles supports the shopping experience with more than product selection alone. Its services page lists expert installation and maintenance support for entertainment tables, along with free in-home consultations that help with product selection and placement. That kind of assistance can be especially helpful when you are planning for room size, clearances, and the best location for the table in your home.

The vendor also notes a one-stop approach to home recreation and comfort products, backed by showroom locations in Northern Michigan and a team that has served the region since 1980. For buyers who value both product quality and local support, that combination makes the purchasing process more straightforward. Phillips Lifestyles also makes it easy to start the conversation through its contact page or by requesting a free home consultation.

Planning support matters with a pool table because the right room fit affects day-to-day enjoyment. A consultation can help buyers think through the space around the table, how it will function in a finished game room, and how the design will work with the rest of the home. That practical assistance is a strong complement to a product that already brings notable visual presence and proven construction.

And if your weekends take you near Backus Creek State Game Area, the Maxim fits right into the kind of at-home gathering space that brings family and friends together long after the outing ends. For others spending time around South Higgins Lake State Park, it offers a similarly appealing way to bring recreation home with a centerpiece that feels built to last.
