Billiard Table

A billiard table is often the center of friendly gatherings, both at home and at the pub. Billiards has been a continuously popular pastime for people of all backgrounds for centuries. In fact, it’s virtually unheard of to venture into a bar or pub and not see at least one pool table, and thousands of people buy them for home every year.

The term “regulation” is a bit relative when it comes to a billiard table. There are different regulations for each of the games many governing bodies. However, as a general rule professional tables are about eight to nine feet long, while most of the tables commonly found in pubs are six to seven feet.

The cost of a billiard table can vary greatly depending on the construction materials and the design. Tables that use a real slate surface are usually more expensive than those that use a synthetic material. The type of wood or composite used in the construction also affects the cost, as does the ornamentation.
