Pool and snooker tables come in a variety of sizes - from 5ft non-slate pool tables right up to 12ft slate championship snooker tables.

This means that they are 2.1m (7ft) long by 1.2m (4ft). When deciding on a pool table, always...

Slate Versus Board Top - Pool Tables

We are asked lots of times about board top and mdf top pool tables and whether they are worth the money. Our answer is always the same - Buy cheap and you will buy twice.  Pool Tables are traditionally made using a slate bed for a reason. Slate is true and level and, provided the table itself supplies adequate support, will remain true for longer than you are alive.The same cannot be said about board top pool tables. Some board top tables are such poor quality that they are warped before th...

How Much Space Do I Need For A Pool Table?

Whilst we can supply cues from 57 inches down to 36 inches, there comes a point where you m...
