All tables come with enough accessories to play a game of pool. If you choose to have your table professionally installed, you will receive all the accessories in the below picture.
If you select our delivery only service your table will come with the below pool accessories.

Although we include ample accessories free of charge with your table order, we also offer the opportunity to purchase some other handy items at a discounted price. To save yourself some money simply click on the ‘Discounted Accessories’ tab below the ‘customise and buy’ section.
A Good rule of thumb is to allow for a minimum of 4ft space all around the table for optimum playing comfort.
So, for instance, a 7ft x 4ft table would have 4ft either end of the long side of the table making 15ft ( 7ft table length + 4ft + 4ft ) and the same on the width making 12ft ( 4ft table width + 4ft + 4ft ).
If you are tight for space, then don't panic because we have shorter cues at 36" 42" and 48" for the shot when the ball is tight on the cushion.
Both the 6ft and 7ft tables are classed as league tables although most leagues prefer to play on a 7ft table if space permits. Either way, both tables provide a great game so don't try and squeeze a 7ft in if it is going to be uncomfortable when playing.
It is essential to check the size of the room to see if your intended table will fit. If a table is too large for the room, you may not enjoy playing on it. A good idea is to draw a plan of the room and measure it at the nearest points to where your table is intended to stand. Do not measure into bay windows or to the recesses of a fireplace. All large furniture should be outside the measurements.
Finally, if your table has to go upstairs, we may require photos to ensure access is possible. We rarely have a failed install, but if there are any impossible turns or bad access, then we can always supply a kit form table and build it up in your premises. There is an extra small premium to pay for this service, but it will ensure that the table goes in safely and without damage.

We deliver Pool Tables and Accessories throughout the UK and Europe. UK deliveries are carried out exclusively by our two-man team which gives us flexibility on delivery and timings.
The delivery lead time on this table is approximately 10-12 weeks. We can sometimes surprise and install a little quicker if we have stock or can get the table sooner from the manufacturers. We are located close to all the leading suppliers which allow us to collect your table quickly as it comes off the production line. Many of our competitors are found further afield and wait for several tables to be ready before making their collection. So for speedy delivery, we have the edge.
Two options are available when it comes to delivery.
We will deliver your pool table door to door and to the ground floor room of your choice absolutely free of charge. Tables are usually supplied in 3 parts. The legs, slate and cabinet are all separate and would require assembly. Please bear in mind however that most slate bed pool tables weigh 200kg+ and you would need adequate numbers of people to handle the table safely. Installation would be at your own risk.
We do, however, strongly recommend that you take up the offer of our professional delivery and Installation service at the extra cost of £99 Inc. VAT which, includes full installation, table positioning, levelling, after sales care instruction and a bonus pack of additional accessories that are worth up to £90. Slate bed pool tables can weigh up to 250 kgs (550lbs) and moving and handling them takes knowledge and expertise. Our two-person team of professional fitters can take away the strain, worry and hard work and leave your table perfect and ready to play. Basement and Upper floor delivery and installations incur a surcharge of £60. Delivery to more remote areas of the country including Cornwall and the North of Scotland are subject to a delivery surcharge. Please contact us for more details.
