English or American pool table?
Buy the table for the game you'll play most, because the two aren't interchangeable.
- English (UK) pool tables use 2in reds and yellows, tighter pockets and 6ft or 7ft tables. This is the game played in UK pubs and leagues. See English pool tables.
- American pool tables use 57mm (2¼in) spots and stripes, wider pockets and larger tables, usually 7ft, 8ft or 9ft. See American pool tables.

Is a 6ft or 7ft pool table better?
For English pool, 7ft is the size used in most pubs and leagues, so choose it if your room takes it. A 6ft table suits smaller rooms, and one you can cue around properly plays better than a 7ft squeezed in. American tables are bigger again.
You need room to cue on every side. These are the room sizes our manufacturers give for a standard 57in cue:
| Table | Playing area | Room with a 57in cue |
| 6ft English | About 156 × 80cm | 14'11″ × 12'5″ |
| 7ft English | About 186 × 94cm | 15'11″ × 12'11″ |
| 7ft American | Mostly 198 × 99cm to 200 × 100cm | 16'4″ × 13'1″ |
| 8ft American | 224 × 112cm | 17'2″ × 13'6″ |
| 9ft American | 254 × 127cm | 18'2″ × 14'0″ |
English figures are SAM's; American figures are from our SAM, Buffalo, Dynamic and Rasson product pages. A shorter 48in or 52in cue lets you fit a table into a smaller room. Read more in What Room Size Do I Need For My Pool Table?
Are all your pool tables slate?
Nearly all of them. Slate gives a flat, consistent playing surface, and even our lowest-priced table, the DPT Omega Classic at £1,449, has a slate bed. The exceptions are the Heemskerk Solid Feet, which has an MDF bed; the Dynamic Diner, which has a composite board; and the outdoor Cornilleau Hyphen, Classic and Origin, which have weatherproof board or HPL composite surfaces. See all slate pool tables.
What's the best pool table for home use?
It depends on the room and the game you play:
- For a games room: a slate English table such as the DPT Omega Classic or SAM Balmoral Champion, or an American table such as the Buffalo Eliminator II.
- For a smaller room: a 6ft pool table, from £1,449.
- For the dining room: a pool dining table with a dining top, from £1,700.
- For the garden: an outdoor pool table, from £1,999. An indoor table, even a slate one, isn't built to live outside.
- For the pub feel at home: a freeplay pub pool table, such as the SAM Balmoral Champion or Atlantic Champion.
If you're not sure, send us your room measurements and tell us which game you play, and we'll help you choose.
