What is standard size for a pool table?
For pool tables, there are basically four sizes. Our clients most often buy whatever size best suits their needs and space. 9 foot is the standard size for professional tournament play. 8 foot and Oversized 8 foot tables are common in homes with smaller rooms. 7 foot tables are sometimes coin-operated and found in bars. Almost all of our new pool tables are available in every size. Pool table sizes are referred to as "7 foot," "8 foot," or "9 foot" out of convenience.

Do I have enough room for a pool table?
To accommodate the standard 57 inch cue length, we recommend a 5 foot clearance around the playfield of the table. However, this is negotiable with smaller cues and open walls. See above for playfield dimensions. If it appears that you do not have enough room for a pool table, do not be discouraged. We urge you to contact us so that we may provide you with more specific information and consultation. We have extensive experience in helping clients plan the space for their game room. We have layout mats at all three of our locations for you to take home and roll onto the floor to see how much room a pool table will occupy. Our clients have found these extremely helpful in determining the best size pool table for their space. We also have complementary room charts available at our stores for your reference.

Do we move pool tables?
Yes we do. Pool tables are not ordinary pieces of furniture and require special care in moving situations. Our crews are well-trained, highly-experienced professionals with many years of experience servicing pool tables. We do not recommend doing it yourself. In fact, even moving companies often contact us to take care of the disassembly and re-assembly of pool tables for their clients. In addition to moving pool tables, we also schedule appointments for services such as: new cloth, pocket replacement, leveling, rubber cushion replacement, and disassembly for new flooring. These are just a few examples. Whatever your need, contact us soon and find out all the services we offer for your pool table.
What colors of billiard cloth do we offer?
A common misnomer is to call billiard cloth felt.

We also carry Simonis 760 and Simonis 860 billiard cloth, which is used exclusively in professional tournaments and popular in finer pool rooms.

We often assist our clients by ordering cues with specific weights, or changing the weight of cues we have in stock to suit their needs.
