HOW TO BUY
THE RIGHT POOL TABLE

The size of a pool table is one of the most important factors to consider before you buy. The table needs to fit comfortably within your room while leaving enough clearance around the playing surface for players to use their cues without hitting walls, furniture or other obstacles.

Common pool table sizes include 7ft, 8ft and 9ft models, although smaller tables are also available. Consider your room dimensions, available playing space, intended use and preferred playing experience before choosing a size. A well-planned layout will help ensure your pool table is practical to use as well as a good fit for your home.

Once you have chosen the appropriate size, consider the style and design that best suits your home, room layout and intended use. Pool tables are available in traditional and contemporary designs, with different frame finishes, colours and playing-surface options, including slate and MDF pool tables.

You can also choose between dedicated billiard tables and multifunction designs, such as dining pool tables and combination game tables. Think about how the table will be used and how it will work with the existing furniture and décor in your room before making your final choice.

The colour and finish of a pool table can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your game room or living space. Consider your existing furniture, flooring and décor when comparing timber finishes, painted frames, leg designs and different felt colours.

Your budget can also influence the available construction, materials and finish options. Rather than choosing a table based on appearance alone, compare the overall design, playing surface, construction and features to find an option that suits both your room and the way you intend to play.

Once you have found a pool table that suits your space and requirements, you can select the invoice option at checkout to place a pending order without making an upfront payment. We can then check current stock and freight details before issuing your invoice.

If the selected table is unavailable or you decide not to proceed, the pending order can be cancelled. If you are unsure which pool table is right for your room, contact us before ordering and we will be happy to assist.

Choosing a pool table involves more than selecting a design you like. Before ordering, consider the available room size, table dimensions, playing surface, construction, intended use and installation requirements.

If space is limited, a smaller or multifunction pool table may be more practical. If you are looking for a more traditional playing experience, a slate pool table may be worth considering. For homes where the table needs to serve another purpose, dining and convertible designs can provide additional flexibility.

Taking the time to compare these factors can help you choose a pool table that fits your room, suits the way you intend to play and works with your overall budget.
