How To Pick a Pool Table That Fits Your Room

Pool tables are harder to size than standard tables. Not only are they bigger than regular tables, but they also require playing space on all sides. Ideally, your table should comfortably fill the room without causing the players to feel cramped. Here are the main factors to consider while choosing the right table for your space.

Pool Tables Come In Different Sizes

Pool is also known as billiards, and table sizes vary greatly depending on the region and style of play. However, the most common table sizes are 9, 8, and 7 feet long, and they are always rectangular and built with a 2-to-1 ratio.

Consider that placing your table in a rectangular room will give the space a nice, symmetrical feel. On the other hand, placing your table in a square room can feel a bit awkward, but can also provide an excellent opportunity for benches and chairs on two sides.

Pool Cues Come In Different Sizes

Your room needs enough space to accommodate a standard 58-inch pool cue on all sides. Consult a sizing chart to view different room, table, and cue size configurations. You can even purchase shorter cues if your space is limited.
