Buying a Pool Table on Black Friday: 9 Checks Before You Order

Before buying a pool table on Black Friday, check nine things: the room size, cue clearance, the route into the house, the floor, the playing surface, the lead time, the delivery terms, who sets it up, and the returns policy. Most mistakes happen in the first three, and none of them can be fixed by a discount.

The 9 checks before you order

Measure the room. You need the playing surface plus one cue length on every side. An 8 ft table with a standard 147 cm cue needs about 5.2 x 4.1 m. See our pool table room size chart.
Plan for tight spots. A wall along one side is manageable with a short cue. Two tight sides usually mean a smaller table.
Check the route in. Measure every door, stair and corner between the street and the room. Large tables can arrive in sections, but not always.
Check the floor. It should be level and able to carry the weight of the table. Upper floors and old wooden floors are worth checking.
Look at the playing surface. The product page lists the bed material and size. Slate is the reference for serious play.
Check the lead time. Many tables are made to order. At Playoffside, large items ship in 1 to 6 weeks, so a table ordered on Black Friday, November 27, may arrive after Christmas.
Read the delivery terms. Large items are delivered to the kerb, often on a pallet. Delivery into the room is available on request for an extra charge.
Plan the setup. Delivery does not include unpacking or assembly, so arrange help to install and level the table.
Read the returns policy. Sale items cannot be returned, and return shipping for large items is costly. Measure twice.
