You should ask yourself, which pool table is right for you?
Should you purchase a new or used pool table? Which one should you buy? What is it that makes a billiard table good? How would I go about moving a pool table?
One very important aspect of purchasing a used pool table is realizing that there are additional expenses after the purchase is made. As soon as you find a used pool table that you like, you will want to hire a professional pool table installation company to move and recover it. We recommend checking on the company to see if they are licensed and bonded. If they do damage to your walls or pool table, you want to be sure that they can cover the expense of the repairs. San Diego Pool Table Movers is a professional Licensed and Bonded Company that takes pride in every pool table we move or service.
The best part about buying a used pool table is the fact that you can get good value for your money. Many tables are still in good condition and you don’t have the sticker shock of buying a brand new pool table. A billiard table stays in good condition because it has no moving parts to wear down and are generally not abused. We always recommend that if you want to move a pool table you should hire a professional pool table installer to move it for you. Here are some of the risks involved with moving a pool table by an amateur: The slate can be easily broken if you don’t know how to move the pool table properly – You would need to buy new slate and pay someone to install the table again. Your table will now have cost much more money than you originally paid for it. Also, pool tables are generally around 800 pounds, it is also not unheard of to cause property damage by mishandling the pool table and costing even more money! Be smart and have a professional pool table company move or repair your pool table!
New Pool Tables can also be a good idea if you find a good deal and a well made pool table. Do your homework and make sure the table is put together well and that there are no hidden fees like extra charges for kits, felt, and etc… Solid wood is always a better option than pool tables with laminate material. At least 1 inch slate is always recommended on a pool table. You can buy a nice pool table brand new for about $2000 and shouldn’t be fooled by name brands too much. An olhousen or brunswick are not worth $4000 generally. They are profiting off of the name. Hopefully this information will help you in your path to purchasing a pool table.
