When you are looking at buying a pool table, there are several factors that you should take into consideration…

Size Matters – When purchasing a pool table it is important to think of not only the table size but the room it will be placed in. Generally, a pool table comes in sizes of 7, 8, or 9 feet; however, the room it is placed in is a major factor. Think closely about the necessary area needed to properly place your cue while playing, you do not want to find yourself stuck against a wall or window.

Slate Or None – Beneath the billiard felt is the playing surface, historically this has been slate. Slate is generally the preferred option and provides an even surface for years, the quality causes a higher price tag to come with it. There are also a number of non slate options available. Materials like accuslate, a high density fiber board, can come with a 7 year warranty.

Shipping – If your pool table is going to be shipped, verify the billing for the shipment. Many times the shipping charges can be included in the overall price, other times it is calculated separately. This is also an important factor to keep in mind when comparison shopping in order to get the best deal possible.

Accessories – When considering what having a pool table in your home will ultimately cost, you need to consider the cost of basic accessories plus any optional extras you might want to include. The essentials, of course, include pool cues, pool balls, ball racks and cue chalk. Additionally, you will may want to add either a wall-mounted or standalone cue rack or cue claw, bridge cues and cue cases.
