California House – Objection Handling Guide

Objection 1: “That other brand is half the price.”

Response:
“You’re right — there are less expensive tables out there. The difference is that those are usually mass-produced overseas, often using veneers, MDF, or particleboard. California House tables are built from solid kiln-dried hardwood in California, and each one is made-to-order. It is not just a game table; it’s heirloom-quality furniture built to last for generations.”

Objection 2: “I don’t know if I want to wait 8–12 weeks for delivery.”

Response:
“I understand — but the reason for that timeline is because your table does not exist until you order it. Every piece is built specifically for you — bench-made from raw lumber to finished furniture. Unlike mass-market tables sitting in warehouses, yours will be a one-of-a-kind creation tailored to your home.”

Objection 3: “I’m worried it won’t fit in my room.”

Response:
“That’s a smart concern. We have room-size charts and clearance guides to make sure it fits comfortably. Plus, if your space is tight, we can recommend shorter cues or smaller table sizes, and for pool tables we even offer knock-down chassis construction for tough installs. We will make sure it works for your space.”

Objection 4: “Why buy California House instead of [competitor]?”

Response:
“Great question. Most competitors either mass-produce overseas or focus on volume. California House is a third-generation, family-owned workshop that specializes in game room furniture. This is all we do — and that focus shows in the details: heirloom hardwood construction, hand-stitched leather pockets, customizable styles, and finishes – all made just for you one at a time. You’re getting a piece of furniture that will elevate your space, not just a pool table.”

Objection 5: “That seems expensive for a pool table.”

Response:
“It’s true that California House tables are an investment. But consider this: many imported tables will warp, loosen, or break down within a few years, forcing you to replace them. Ours are built with solid hardwood, engineered construction, and premium joinery. With care, they will last decades — even generations. Over time, it’s actually the better value.”

 

Objection 6: “What if something goes wrong after I buy?”

Response:
“California House stands behind its craftsmanship with a manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, since everything is made here in the U.S., service and parts are available long-term. Cloth can be replaced, cushions can be re-rubbered, finishes can be touched up — so your table can stay beautiful and playable for years.”

Objection 7: “I just want something simple for the kids.”

Response:
“Totally understandable. The great thing is, California House tables are family-friendly and can grow with your kids. We offer smaller 7 ft pool tables and 9 ft shuffleboards that are easier for children to play on, but still professional quality for when they get older. It’s a table that will not need replacing as your family’s needs change.”

Objection 8: “I’m worried it won’t match my décor.”

Response:
“That’s the beauty of California House — everything is customizable. We offer over a dozen finishes, 20 cloth colors, and multiple leather or fabric choices. We can even custom-match a finish to your existing furniture. It’s designed to look like it belongs in your home, not a generic game room.”
