Hathaway Vintage Wall Billiard Cue Rack - Mahogany Finish
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Vintage is a wall-mounted billiard cue rack in mahogany finish, standing 59.5 in tall x 25.5 in wide. The tall vertical format stores cues upright in their natural playing orientation — tip up, butt down — without bending cue shafts at the holder contact point the way horizontal racks can over time. Cabinet is solid wood at 4.5 in deep. Mounted flush against a wall, the rack occupies zero floor space. Ships small parcel at 18 lb.
Assembly approximately 10 minutes plus wall mounting. Holds up to 8 cues plus accessory storage for balls, chalk, and a triangle rack. Does not include pool cues. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 4 and up.
Construction
The rack body is solid wood in a mahogany finish — not MDF veneer. Wall-mounted cue racks require solid wood at the mounting bracket attachment points to hold the combined weight of 8 cues and the rack body without pulling away from the wall anchor over time.
At 59.5 in tall, cues rest in a near-vertical position — tip up, butt in the lower holder ring. This orientation prevents the slow shaft bend that develops when cues are stored horizontally in multiple contact points over months.
Wall-mounted flush against a stud — the 4.5-in depth projects 4.5 in into the room. This is the only cue storage format in Hathaway's lineup that takes no floor space. For game rooms where floor clearance around the pool table is fully consumed by cue swing zone, a wall rack is the only viable cue storage option.
The rack includes shelving for billiard accessories — ball set, chalk, triangle rack, and brush can all be stored on the rack body alongside the cues. This consolidates all table accessories in one wall location rather than spreading them across a drawer, shelf, and separate rack.
Upper and lower cue rings accommodate up to 8 individual cues. Upper ring holds tips; lower ring holds butts. The two-ring contact distribution is gentler on cue tips than single-ring horizontal mounts where all the cue weight rests at one contact point.
Mahogany finish coordinates with the Augusta (BG2527), Centerpoint dartboard cabinet (BG1041CH), and Classic Mahogany floor rack (BG2567M) — allowing a coordinated mahogany palette across all game room furniture.
Buyer's Guide
Floor cue racks (Classic BG2567, Regent BG2569, Westmont BG5002) require floor space within or adjacent to the cue clearance zone around the pool table. In a room where every floor position within reach of the table is in the swing zone, no floor rack placement exists that doesn't interfere with play. A wall-mounted rack like the Vintage eliminates this constraint entirely — it requires only 25.5 in of clear wall width and does not affect floor clearance.
Wall mounting requires locating a wall stud (the rack body weight plus 8 loaded cues can exceed 20 lb) and committing to a fixed position. In a dedicated game room where the pool table position is permanent, the wall mount position is permanent by extension — this is not a practical concern. In rooms where the pool table is moved seasonally, a floor rack is more appropriate. At $159.99, the Vintage is the highest-priced cue storage option in Hathaway's lineup — the premium is for the solid wood construction and the vertical cue orientation that preserves shaft straightness over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this require a wall stud for mounting?
Stud mounting is strongly recommended — the combined weight of the rack plus 8 loaded cues can exceed 20 lb, which exceeds the holding strength of standard drywall anchors alone.
Is the wood solid or veneer?
Solid wood — the mounting bracket attachment points require solid wood fiber to hold cue load weight reliably over time.
Are cues included?
No — cue rack only.
Does this ship by freight or parcel?
Small parcel — 18 lb in a 54 in x 7 in x 7 in carton.
What is the warranty term?
180-day limited warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials under normal residential use.
What is the mounting footprint on the wall?
25.5 in wide x 59.5 in tall. Requires an unobstructed wall section of at least that size with stud access.
