Frequently Asked Questions

Why are pool tables so heavy! Most pool tables have a thick slate playing surface covered by a felt cloth.  Slate is traditional and balls just seem to perform better on a slate table.  They are also more stable and last a lot longer.

An 8 foot slate table weighs between 750 and 850 pounds.

How hard is it to re-felt a table myself? - It's a lot harder than it looks. There are specific stretching techniques and angles that are required to make a perfectly smooth felt playing surface.

Also having a proper staple gun and staples is important, as is knowing where the stapes should go into the frame to hold the felt in place.

Getting it wrong leads to a poor playing surface and  having to start all over again.

Can I move my table without disassembling it? - We would NEVER recommend moving a pool table without breaking it down. Not only is it dangerous for you, but can easily damage your frame or slate. Coin operated tables are the only tables you can get away with moving in one piece. But they are heavy, cumbersome to move and can be easily damaged as well.

  • Will the pool table I just bought fit in my room? - It is best to have a qualified technician check the room before you buy the table. However the rough standard is to have 58 inches from each outer edge of the table to a wall in order to have a 3 inch pool cue draw. a 5 foot spacing is even better, because a 3 inch draw is not enough sometimes. See the table size vs room size here.
  • What is a standard sized pool table? - An 8 foot table is considered standard for home use. Bar tables are usually the 8 foot variation and the tournament tables are usually 9 foot length.  
  • Can I put the pool table up stairs or down stairs? - Of course you can, but expect additional charges for the stairs. Really difficult and risky to traverse stairs with hundreds of pounds being carried.
  • How long do your services take? - Setting up a new table or reassembly of a moved pool table takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Disassembly about the same amount of time.  Felting or re-felting a pool table takes about 2 hours. Moving a pool table between houses is about 3 hours, not including travel time between locations.
