Buffalo Harlem American Pool Dining Table - 7FT & 8FT

The Owner's Insights on the Buffalo Harlem

The Harlem is the pool dining table I'd show anyone who thinks a dining table can't also be a serious pool table. It sits on a robust steel undercarriage with a solid wood cabinet, in Black Ash or Walnut, and underneath the dining top there's a genuine one-inch three-piece slate with tournament-spec cushions.

The matching sectional dining top turns it back into a dining or boardroom table in seconds, so it works in an open-plan kitchen-diner, a home office or a meeting room at work. Small details like the sight spots and the Buffalo badge give it a finished, furniture-quality look.

One honest point: it has drop pockets rather than an internal ball return, which is normal for a table like this but worth knowing. If you'll never use it for dining, a dedicated pool table like the Buffalo Dominator gives you the same slate for less.

Why You'll Love the Buffalo Harlem

• Pool table and dining table in one – the matching sectional dining top converts it for meals or meetings in seconds.
• Genuine three-piece slate – a 1″ slate bed with tournament-spec cushions for a true, professional roll.
• Steel undercarriage – a robust steel chassis that keeps the table rock steady.
• Solid wood cabinet – choose Black Ash or Walnut to suit your room.
• Two sizes – 7ft for smaller rooms, 8ft for a bigger game.

Why You Should Consider a Buffalo Pool Table

Buffalo builds its slate-bed American pool tables around the motto “Quality Gives Security”, and its Pro-series tables are designed for intensive club use. Every slate-bed Buffalo uses a genuine three-piece slate and tournament-spec cushions, so you get a table built for heavy club use that plays properly for years at home.

Black Ash or Walnut: Choosing Your Harlem Pool Dining Table

Black Ash pairs a black frame with a black ash solid wood surround. It's the bolder, more contemporary choice and looks sharp in modern homes and offices.

Walnut has a warmer, richer wood tone that sits naturally alongside wooden furniture and floors, which makes it a great fit for a traditional dining room or snug.

Both finishes come with a matching dining top and share exactly the same slate, cushions and steel frame, so the only difference is the look.

Choosing Between the 7ft and 8ft Harlem

The 7ft measures 232 × 133cm and seats comfortably as a dining table in most kitchen-diners, while still giving you a proper 200 × 100cm playing area. The 8ft measures 258 × 146cm with a 224 × 112cm playing area, and it's the better choice if you have the space and want a bigger game or more room around the table at dinner.

Can You Use a Pool Table as a Dining Table Every Day?

With a proper pool dining table like the Harlem, yes. The sectional dining top sits over the playing surface and protects the cloth, so it's built to be a dining table first thing in the morning and a pool table after dinner. The sections lift off by hand, so you're not wrestling one heavy panel. One practical tip: pool tables sit a little higher than a standard dining table (the Harlem is 80cm tall against a typical 75cm), so check your dining chairs are a comfortable height before you order.

Where to Put a Pool Dining Table in Your Home

The best spot for a pool dining table is the room where you'd have a dining table anyway: an open-plan kitchen-diner, a dining room or a home office. That's the whole point: you get a full-size American pool table without giving up a room to it. Measure for cue space as well as chairs, and remember a slate table this heavy should go on a solid floor. If you're not sure your space works, send us the measurements and we'll check it with you.

If your room's under 15ft long, the 7ft is worth a closer look, and remember you'll want room for chairs when it's set up for dining. Send us your room measurements and we'll help you choose.
