![]() I only just got my own table about 18 months ago. Would you have any suggestions on brands to look into/avoid? What sort of price range should I be looking at? I'm not terribly familiar with what I should be spending on a solid mid-range table. I'm curious if this means that I will have to hike up the cue in some positions or these measurements take in account the length of drawing back the cue?įor the most part I'm having a hard time finding pricing on tables locally. Going by the measurements I've been finding it looks like I am right at the limit with not an extra inch to spare. The room I have is just about the perfect size for an 8ft table w/ 58" cues. It's not like we're hurting for one or probably even bother using it. I guess I will focus on a dedicated pool table and say nuts to the dining room table. Yeah I figured that a table would be one of those specialized things where a hybrid approach tends to mean it sucks at two things rather than one. Thank you for taking the time writing such a detailed post! I'm far happier with my own table than without. My 8' table is too small for its room, but fuckall, as it's my table, and for the most part I can use my full-sized cue with no issues. ![]() ![]() If you do opt for a convertible table, it will not hold value, and will probably be 'junk' in some meaningful sense, but again if that is what you require to get your first table, and if you are willing to do that toward that end, then go right ahead. If/when you upgrade the table, you can keep the good balls, and you can upgrade the cloth as desired as well. I would advise you to find one with slate, and to invest in a good set of phenolic balls. I cannot keep our dedicated dining table clear, so I'd never get the conversion type you're considering, but if that solution makes most sense in your case, go for it. Personally, if you can squeeze a decent table into a space where you can usually use a full-sized cue, but maybe here or there need to use a shorty or jack up, having my own table is far better than not having my own table. If your circumstances are such that the only way you could get a table is to get one of these less-than-ideal sorts, you do you. The reality is that few of us are able to dictate the layouts of our houses, condos, or apartments, so our options are typically quite limited at the outset. That said, the general advice in this sub is also unfortunately impractical many comments recommend avoiding getting a table without a perfect space, or they look askance at 'furniture tables' (which category certainly includes dining table hybrids, but also evidently includes fancy-looking tables meant for home use) - some say if it isn't Diamond, Olhausen, or maybe Brunswick or Valley, then it's shit. There are probably several other drawbacks. dining tables include beverages and various liquids or liquid-like foods, which can spill, which could potentially damage the cloth.maintaining a clean table surface (not the pool table bed) may prove difficult.chairs, other furniture, and general dining room accoutrements may become additional obstacles.you may find it difficult to find one with slate (MDF sucks ass).In the case of a pool table, you will face: While those hybrids can be of good quality, they usually are not. As a rule, if you want a specialized piece of equipment for any hobby, you want it to be specialized, not a hybrid or X-in-one sort of thing. Nobody here will say good things about them, amd for good reason.
