The best billiard tables for home use

Thinking of buying a billiard table for your home? Here you have what you need to take into account before buying a billiard table for your home. Taking these ¨tips¨ into account, you will surely enjoy it like a kid :)

Where are you going to set it up?
Billiard tables that are specially designed for the home, usually have specifications somewhat different from those tables that you can see in professional circuits or billiard clubs. This does not mean that they are not equally useful or that they are not of quality, on the contrary, these ¨home¨ models maintain a good quality and add features that make them perfect to be adapted to the different moments and needs that you can find in your home or apartment.

The vast majority of people do not have too much space in their homes for something that takes up as much space as a pool table. It is true that there are different sizes of tables, but even the most common one, 7 feet, needs a considerable space to be able to play comfortably and avoid adding an unwanted hole in a wall when preparing your next cue.

We could follow the following guidelines to figure out how much space we'll need to set up our brand new pool table.

The three standard dimensions are:

    7 feet: 2.13m long x 1.07m wide x 0.78m high.
    8 feet: 2,37m long x 1,17m wide x 0,81m high
    9 feet: 2,54m long x 1,27m wide x 0,85m high

But be careful, this would be the size and measurements of the table per se. In addition, you must add 3m approximately (twice the size of a normal cue) to each band of the table. This would be the space needed for each size of table:

    7 feet: 20m2 approximately.
    8 feet: 24m2 approximately.
    9 feet: 28 m2 approximately.

Yes, it's pretty... But is it useful?
We know that this question can create confusion, but the explanation is simpler than it seems.

Many people think that the usefulness of a pool table is based on being good to play a game and that's it, but when choosing a table for your home you also appreciate that it is visually attractive and also provides extra utilities to make the most of the space it will occupy.

Yes, this is totally possible. The pool tables that we present below have the functionality to also become a nice dining table. So, when you are not playing, it can function as a dining table and it is very likely that your guests can never even imagine that they are dining on a pool table.

Imagine finishing dinner, clearing the table, removing the tablecloth and telling your guests.... Shall we play a game of pool?
I'm sure they'll be astonished!
