Things To Consider Before Purchasing A Pool Table

When in the market for a pool table, there are a few things that you should ask yourself before you make a purchase (other than whether or not you can afford it). Remember this is a one-time purchase and will stay in your family for generations if your pool table is properly maintained. Take your time and select the right pool table that will best suit the needs of you and your family. By answering these few simple questions, selecting a pool table will be easier.

Eight Questions to Ask Yourself:

1. Who will be using the pool table primarily?
2. Is this going on the main level of your home?
3. Will it need to be installed upstairs, or downstairs in the lower level/basement?
4. How large is the entrance into the room?
5. Do you have a particular table style that helps you to remember the good old days with grandpa?
6. Do you prefer a ball return table or a more traditional style with drop leather pockets?
7. Will the pool table match the interior decor?
8. Does the room have sufficient lighting?
