Do not forget that apart from placing the table, you also need to leave enough room all around the table for the players to navigate around. A clearance of 5-6 feet is a must.
  2. Logo: If you love a particular sports team you can easily find the pool tables with their logo inscribed on them. You can pick the logo of your favorite University team, Military Academy and Naval Academy. Before you by the tables make it sure that the logo is engraved neatly and at a visible place.
  3. Features: Find out the desirable features and materials for a pool table. Depending on your budget choose between a solid hardwood frame and a laminate frame. You also get frames that can be assembled at home. They are a great choice when you have to carry them through a narrow passage or stairs. However, always remember that a pre-built frame is always sturdier and longer lasting as compared to the one you can assemble at home. Visit some online furniture stores to find the best mix of features and price. Features like slanted slides are stronger than the others.
  4. Top Rails: Top rails are made of either solid wood or particle board. Always go for solid wood when strength and durability is on your mind. They also facilitate better replacement of the cloth and balls rebound faster for a longer duration of time. This surely contributes to a fantastic gaming experience.

  6. Legs: Pool table can be either supported on four legs or pedestal legs. If it has pedestal legs ensure it is made of solid wood, as it give much more strength and rigidity to it. Elmhurst legs with cinnamon finish are a perfect choice if you wish to add elegance to the home décor.
