SAM Oporto American Dining Pool Table - 6FT, 7FT & 8FT

Bring 1920s Art Deco Style Into Your Games Room

The SAM Oporto American Pool Table takes its cues from the machine age, with a square cabinet and subtly fluted legs built in richly stained north American seasoned oak, rather than the plain veneer you'll find on most pool tables at this price.

It's available in 6ft, 7ft and 8ft, so it works as the centrepiece for a smaller den or a proper dedicated games room. An optional matching dining table top is also available, so the Oporto can double as a pool dining table on the evenings you need the room to earn its keep.

The Owner's Insights on the Oporto

The Oporto is the table I point people towards when they want genuine period character rather than a table that just happens to be brown. The square, fluted cabinet legs are a real Art Deco detail, not an afterthought, and the seasoned oak hardwood has real weight and grain to it once it's actually in the room.

At 220 to 290kg depending on size, it's a substantial table, so I always ask people to check their access route and floor loading before ordering, especially for the 8ft.

It suits a family room as much as a dedicated games room. If you want the smallest footprint that'll still play a proper game, the 6ft is the one to look at. If you're chasing longer, tournament-length shots and have the space, go straight to the 8ft.

Let the Experts Help You Find Your Perfect Oporto

Choosing between 6ft, 7ft and 8ft is as much about your room as your budget, and the Oporto's range of cabinet finishes and cloth colours gives you plenty of ways to make it your own.

Why You'll Love the Oporto

• Genuine Art Deco character – The square, fluted cabinet and legs give the Oporto a period look that most modern American pool tables don't even attempt.
• Seasoned oak hardwood construction – Built from richly stained north American oak, so the cabinet has real substance rather than a thin veneer over particleboard.
• 25mm one-piece slate bed – Diamond-honed and levelled for a true, consistent roll shot after shot.
• Choose the size that fits your room – Available in 6ft, 7ft and 8ft, so you're not compromising on a table that's the wrong scale for your space.
• Finish it your way – A wide range of wood stains and premium painted cabinet colours, plus a choice of cloth, means the Oporto can match the room it's going into.
• Optional dining table top – Fit the matching top over the playing surface and the Oporto becomes a genuine pool dining table, ready for dinner as easily as it is for a game.

Why You Should Consider a SAM Pool Table

SAM has spent decades building tables for professional pool and carom federations, and that manufacturing standard carries through to a table like the Oporto even though it's built for the home rather than the tournament hall. Choosing SAM means backing a manufacturer whose commercial-grade tables see genuine daily use in venues, which says a lot about how a home table like this will hold up over years of play.

Choosing the Right Size Oporto: 6ft, 7ft or 8ft

Sizing is the biggest decision with the Oporto, and it's worth getting right before you commit to a finish or cloth colour.

The 6ft gives you the smallest footprint, a sensible choice for a family room or a smaller games room where floor space is tight. The 7ft is closer to a standard mid-size American table, and works well if you want a genuine step up in playing surface without needing a huge room. The 8ft gives you the longest shots and the most authentic tournament-length feel, but it does need a proper dedicated space, both for the table itself and the cueing room around it.

If you're torn between two sizes, measure your room against the Room Size Requirements table below before deciding.

Turn The Oporto Into A Pool Dining Table

Not every home has a room to spare for pool alone, which is where the Oporto's optional dining table top comes in.

SAM offers a matching top that sits securely over the playing surface, turning the Oporto into a practical pool dining table whenever the cues are put away.

That means the same square-fluted, Art Deco cabinet can host a dinner party one evening and a few frames of pool the next, so a room that might otherwise be given over entirely to a games table can genuinely do double duty as a dining pool table too.
