Buying A Pool Table That You’ll Be Happy With

When you are looking at buying a pool table, there are several factors that you should take into consideration…

Size – The first thing you need to take into consideration is the actual dimensions of the pool table. Obviously, pool tables come in varying sizes. The most typical sizes range between 7 feet and 9 feet. Before you fall in love with any one pool table though, you should make sure that your pool table of choice will actually fit in the area you plan on placing it. Do not just measure the area that the pool table will be in, also look at the space that will be needed by the players to take their shots. There is nothing worse than playing a game of pool smack dab up against a wall or window.

Slate Or None – Beneath the billiard felt is the playing surface, historically this has been slate. Slate is generally the preferred option and provides an even surface for years, the quality causes a higher price tag to come with it. There are also a number of non slate options available. Materials like accuslate, a high density fiber board, can come with a 7 year warranty.

Shipping – If your pool table is going to be shipped, verify the billing for the shipment. Many times the shipping charges can be included in the overall price, other times it is calculated separately. This is also an important factor to keep in mind when comparison shopping in order to get the best deal possible.

Accessories – Now that you have made your choice for the perfect pool table, consider the accessories. Pool balls, ball racks, cue chalk, bridge cues, cue cases and more can individualize your pool table. Do not forget the pool cues, and a rack to go with them. Cue racks can be mounted, standalone or obtain a cue claw.
