About Pool Tables

Pool tables are listed in three sizes, and the difference is not only length but also the room they need. A 7ft billiard table (bar box) has a 99 × 198 cm playing area and needs a room of at least 3.9 × 4.9 m; it is the pub size and the most common choice for a home. An 8ft table with a 112 × 224 cm playing area needs 4.1 × 5.2 m and is the standard of Polish clubs and the most listed used size. A 9ft table (127 × 254 cm, room 4.2 × 5.5 m) is the tournament size played at WPA world championships and on the World Nineball Tour.

The second parameter is the bed. A slate-bed billiard table carries 19–25 mm slate, split into three sections in 8ft and 9ft, and it is the only construction that still plays true after years. MDF-bed tables are cheaper and lighter but react to humidity. Slate means mass: 7ft is 250–350 kg, 8ft 350–500 kg, 9ft up to 700 kg, so on top of the price you add disassembly, transport and installation by a technician (figures in how much a billiard table weighs). Also check the K-66 rubber cushions, the cloth and the adjustable feet.

Listings are dominated by Rasson, Dynamic, WIK, Brunswick, Diamond, Buffalo and Tournament Champion, new from sellers and used from closing clubs, often with a set of balls and cues. Which size fits which room is explained in which billiard table to buy, and real price ranges for new and used tables are in how much a billiard table costs. Cloth, lighting and parts are under billiard tables and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a slate-bed billiard table cost?
A 7-ft billiard table with a slate bed starts around $1500 (entry-level Buffalo, Automaten Hoffmann), mid-tier $2500–4500 (Rasson Victory, Sam Leisure Atlantic), and pro 8-ft/9-ft tournament tables (Diamond, Brunswick, Rasson Ox) cost $6000–18000. Used premium tables often sell for half retail.
7-ft, 8-ft or 9-ft billiard table — which to choose?
7-ft = "bar box", compact for homes and pubs (playing area 96×48"). 8-ft = club standard pool (~112×56"). 9-ft = WPA tournament pool (~100×50" playing area). Snooker uses 10-ft or 12-ft. Choice depends on room: minimum clearance around the table is +5 ft on each side for a full cue stroke.
How heavy is a slate billiard table?
An 8-ft table with a 3-piece slate bed weighs 900–1400 lb — slate alone 450–800 lb, frame 350–450 lb, cushions and cloth 100–200 lb. A 9-ft tournament table weighs 1400–2000 lb. Transport and assembly require a service (3–4 people). Floor load: 40 psf min — hardwood is fine, timber joists usually OK, but a basement with a wooden floor may need reinforcement.
Slate bed vs MDF — what is the difference?
Slate (stone) is the tournament standard — perfectly flat, does not warp, holds cloth smoothly. Thickness 3/4"–1" (WPA requires min 3/4"). MDF/melamine is a substitute in cheap home tables ($400–900) — warps over time from humidity, plays slower. For serious play → only slate.
How to choose billiard cloth?
Pool tournament standard: Simonis 860 (fast, thinner) or 760 (slower, more durable). Snooker: Strachan 6811. Carom: Simonis 300. Color: worsted (Simonis) in "tournament blue" or green. Thickness 6–8 mm. Recloth is a service job (stretching + gluing) — $200–500 depending on the table.
