Pool Tables

Similar to the football tables, pool tables also tend to exponentially increase in quality for minimal increases in price. The pinnacles of home pool tables are slate bedded models, similar to those found in pubs and pool clubs. For those games rooms where slate bedded tables are overly cumbersome MDF tables provide the perfect compromise.

Manufacturers now make a range of tables from 4ft long all the way up to 7 ft tables. The lower priced tables tailored for home use are lighter and more compact than the slate bed tables. They are made using an MDF playing surface, which in many cases can be recovered, and provides a phenomenally good playing surface.

What Should I Consider When Buying One For Home?

Room Size and Cueing Room

Unfortunately not all games rooms are the correct size to house a full size pool table, the solution is to look into the range of different table sizes available. As a rule of thumb at least 5 ft of space in needed between the sides of the table and the surrounding walls or furniture. To achieve this in most room sizes is difficult and therefore shortened cues can be used to continue play around an obstacle. (For a table size of 6'x 3' a minimum room size of 14' by 11' is recommended.)

Slate or MDF?

The slate bedded playing surfaces are superior to any other material used primarily because slate is tough, durable and totally unaffected by temperature and humidity. Modern MDF tables are of the highest quality however and provide an excellent compromise.

Cloth Colour

Pool tables come with a range of cloth colours, some may be more suited to your recreation room than others so be sure to check the pictures carefully!
