The CL Bailey Co. was founded in 1999 in Marionville, Missouri by the father and son team, Charlie & Chuck Bailey. The very first table we engineered and built was the Addison Pool Table. As the company grew, we expanded our capacity with furniture finishing solid wood pool tables. A few years later, we established a separate company called The Level Best, to import and distribute billiard pool table accessory kits and game room furniture to their dealers across the country. Over the years, other seasoned veterans from the billiard industry joined the company and brought insight and experience to the team. Charlie and Chuck Bailey later retired, from the business, in 2012. Over the past two decades, the core team continues to improve on their unique skills and bring the best customer service and the best value of quality products to our customers. Linda Brownlee, our Office Manager joined the company in 2000. She oversees human resources, accounts payables, and accounts receivables. With her background in office management, she has been an integral part of our team. Steve Hatcher, our Warehouse Manager, got his start in the shipping department in 2001. Over the years he helped developed and established the inventory control system of all the products in our 60,000 square foot warehouse. He oversees regular product inspections to ensure the items our customers receive are in their optimum condition. Shine Lee, our General Manager, is in charge of daily operations and supply chain management. He has worked with most of our overseas suppliers for almost two decades and continues to collaborate with them by making multiple overseas trips annually to ensure that we get the highest quality of products for our customers. Dave DeVol, our Marketing Manager, joined the company in 2002 to head up our Creative Services Department. He has been instrumental in promoting our brands and products through a variety of media formats in traditional printing and digital output for the web. Now equipped with a full-size photography studio, he has the means to photograph new products when they arrive the warehouse and have images ready for catalog printing and upload to our website within hours.

She is also in charge of the logistics of all inbound and outbound shipments. Scott Hickman is our Chief Financial Officer.
