Buying a pool table is an investment, whether it’s for your home, club, or bar. But with so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start. Here’s what to consider before making your purchase.
Measure your room before anything else. Most home tables are 7ft or 8ft, while tournament size is 9ft. Leave at least 5 feet of clearance around the table for comfortable play.
Slate Tables: Provide the most accurate roll and are tournament-approved. They last a lifetime if maintained well.
MDF Tables: Lighter and more affordable but less durable and can warp over time.
Look for solid hardwood frames for durability. Adjustable legs are a plus for leveling on uneven floors.
High-quality worsted cloth (like Simonis) gives a faster, smoother roll. Good cushions ensure consistent rebound angles.
Pool tables are heavy and require professional setup. Make sure the seller offers installation or provides detailed assembly instructions.
