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.
