Many people don’t consider this essential question when purchasing a pool table for their home, will it fit in the room?

We have listed the approximate pool table room sizes to help you decide which room to have installed. Remember that this guide was put together, considering you use a standard 58” cue stick.

Also, you must consider the furniture already in the room or the furniture you plan to purchase shortly. This will affect the playing experience.

For instance, if your pool table is already set up and you acquire a new piece of furniture, it is necessary to disassemble it entirely to move it, even if it is just a few inches.

Our team of trained pool table movers has been taking care of pool table moves, installations, and repairs for quite a few years, so we can help you verify if the pool table you’re interested in will fit in the room; please measure the room dimensions, you may also use the chart we have put together for your convenience.

The dimensions of your game room will determine the size of a pool table you can purchase to enjoy a comfortable playing experience. If you’re interested in a used pool table, make sure you ask the seller for the pool table dimensions.

The measurements we need specifically are the playing surface dimensions. This is the actual size of the pool table, and it helps to figure out the appropriate pool table room size and the right cut of pool table cloth in case you need to have the pool table refelting service taken care of during the setup.

Why it’s essential to know the pool table sizes and game room dimensions?

If the pool table turns out to be a different size, this could complicate the job for the pool table installers because the table may not fit in the room, and also, the cut of felt may not cover the entire table.

In most cases, this will change the price of the service, whether it is a pool table setup, installation, or a complete move. The industry norm is supplied, pre-cut pool table felt for the refelting service.

If an 8-foot table is expected to be serviced and we encounter a 9-foot table, then we may not even have the correct cloth size to finish your job which could also incur additional trip charges.

Please be aware that sometimes there is a pool table repair that may not have been noticed at the time of the purchase, and it is noticed once the pool table is in pieces.

In most cases, we can take care of the repair during the same appointment if it’s not something significant. However, if other materials we were unaware of are needed, we will have to return for a second appointment. Pool table room sizes are essential for a successful job, and it’s super handy to know when checking the pool table size you can get.
