Pool & Billiard Tables
Pool table and billiard table mean the same thing to most people, so everything we carry sits here together, from 6 ft convertible tables for a spare room to 8 ft slate tables built to play properly.

The table is the easy part. What decides the size you can buy is the clear floor around it, because you need room to draw a cue back. Measure your room, then check against this:
| Table size | 58 in cue (full) | 52 in cue | 48 in cue (short) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 ft | 16 ft 6 in x 13 ft 0 in | 15 ft 6 in x 12 ft 0 in | 14 ft 6 in x 11 ft 0 in |
| 7.5 ft | 17 ft 4 in x 13 ft 8 in | 16 ft 4 in x 12 ft 8 in | 15 ft 4 in x 11 ft 8 in |
| 8 ft | 17 ft 8 in x 13 ft 6 in | 16 ft 8 in x 12 ft 6 in | 15 ft 8 in x 11 ft 6 in |
If your room is tight, short cues are a normal and perfectly playable solution. Plenty of home tables are played with 48 or 52 in cues on the wall side.
Slate or engineered wood
Slate is the traditional playing bed. It stays flat for decades, gives a true and consistent roll, and is what you want if anyone in the house plays seriously. It is also heavy, which is why slate tables need professional assembly and levelling.
Engineered wood beds cost considerably less and play well for casual family use. They are lighter, easier to move, and more forgiving of a garage or basement that swings in temperature.
Convertible tables
If the room has another job, a convertible table with a dining or table tennis top earns its floor space twice over.
Delivery and assembly
Tables ship free by LTL freight, delivered curbside by appointment, and typically arrive in 2 to 5 weeks. Slate tables need professional assembly and levelling, which is not included; budget for a local installer. What comes in the box is listed on each product page.
