Here at Pool Tables Online, we mainly specialise in slate-bed professional pool tables. We also sell a nice selection of wood-bed pool tables.
Wood bed pool tables do not have a slate bed playing surface. The main advantage is that the table is much lighter than a slate bed table. A professional pool table slate will weigh over 100kg alone.
These tables are ideal for homes or youth clubs with space for a table but not as a permanent fixture. All our wood bed pool and snooker tables that we sell also have a folding leg system. This means the pool table can be folded away and stored under a bed or in a cupboard until the next use. This is an ideal solution for family use.
No playing surface will ever replicate the precise game that a slate surface provides. However, great strides have been made in the last five years to ensure that the wood bed tables that we sell offer a superb and authentic playing experience.
There are many wood bed pool tables on today’s market. The vast majority of these tables are imported from the Far East. Here at Pool Tables Online, we made a decision a few years ago to sell only UK-manufactured wood bed tables. Although these tables cost slightly more than the Far East models, we feel they are worth the difference.
Imported wood bed tables certainly serve a purpose. They are built to a price and look nice. The quality is reasonable for family use, and they will usually last for around 6-15 months, depending on use. One of the main problems is that the cloth cannot be recovered on these tables. This means if the cloth tears, it can’t be fixed. The cloth on these tables also tends to be of a lower quality, making it less durable felt, which does not help the situation.
The imported tables on the market do not usually conform to regulation size, either. They can be bigger or smaller than the standard English 6ft or 7ft pool tables. The UK-made tables are usually always built to pub specification size.
Long-established slate bed and pool Table makers, we manufacture the UK-produced tables we sell. This means that the wood bed models use many of the same parts that you would find on a slate bed pub table. They have solid, durable top frames and use high-quality pool table cloth and cushion rubber, which really makes a difference to the game.
Both the UK and Imported tables have a place in the market. However, it is important to understand what you are buying. If you require a basic family fun table designed to be used occasionally at an affordable price, then the imported tables are perfect. However, if you would prefer a far more solid and durable table that will provide a much better game and last a long time, then a UK model is for you.
The models we sell are designed to last. They are ideal for the home, youth clubs, church groups, or community centres. They all come with complete game accessories, proper pool cloth, and cushion rubber and are very solid and safe when set up.
They can also be recovered if the worst happens and the cloth is torn. This means that if the table is looked after, you will have years of fun with it.
