ROOM SIZE

Before buying a pool table ask yourself, "Will it fit in our room?" You'll want to make sure your table has ample playing room around it. An approximate five-foot perimeter is suggested, so measure your space to ensure a perfect fit.

For a pool table to be considered 'regulation size' the length of the playfield is twice the width-and most regulation-size pool tables are built in 7', 8' and 9' lengths. No matter which length you choose, be aware that minimum space requirements will change depending on the size of the cue you select.

Selecting the proper size table for the amount of space you have is critical to your enjoyment level. The 4' x 8' pool table is by far the most widely purchased table for residential use. Often times, people will purchase the 7' table because of space or the 9' table because it is what the professionals play on.

Keep in mind that furniture, such as, couches, chairs and tables, will be well below your cue height and generally will not interfere with your game. The main objective with furniture is that you have adequate walk around space.

The most popular size table for home use is the 8' table with a 57" cue.
