Still the best known name in Snooker tables, Riley began in the 1890's as a Manchester sports shop before becoming the country's largest manufacturer of cricket bats. They began producing billiard and snooker tables in the very early years of the 20th.c and by 1920 were established as the leaders in a rapidly expanding market. One of the keys to the company's success was their convertible tables which used their own patent mechanism to allow the table to easy lift from a dining table to a correct playing height. The Riley mechanism also has the additional advantage of allowing precise adjustments to be made to each corner ensuring a level surface. Removable leaves covered the baize to make a good eight seater dining table.
