About Snooker Tables

Snooker tables come in two sizes: a full-size snooker table is 12ft (playing area 3569 × 1778 mm, room of at least 6.7 × 4.9 m) or a compact 10ft for homes and smaller clubs. You will also see 8ft tables with green cloth and printed spots, but those are pool constructions: full snooker with 22 balls of 52.5 mm needs a 10ft or 12ft table with narrow pockets.

The slate bed of a 12ft table comes in five sections with a total mass of 700–900 kg, and the whole table with frame, steel-block cushions and worsted Strachan 6811 or Hainsworth cloth weighs 1100–1400 kg. Such a slate-bed table is sold only with disassembly and installation by a technician, and moving it (700–1400 EUR) can cost more than a used table itself; exact weights are in the guide how much a snooker table weighs. Before buying, check the slate at the section joins, the hardness of the cushion rubber and whether the table was moved by professionals.

Listings feature Riley, BCE, Rasson, Dynamic and Polish makers, mostly used tables from closing clubs, exceptionally cheap compared with new. The table needs snooker balls of 52.5 mm, snooker cues and cloth from the cloth subcategory. New and used prices are in how much a billiard table costs, and you can keep score without paper in the online snooker counter.

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.
