Regardless if you are a bar, business, or general consumer, there is a billiard table that matches your needs. A wide range is available on the market today. Finding the one that will work for you depends on your budget and preferences.

The surface is made of cloth. For commercial tables, it is best to choose the higher end fabric that is made out of a blend of wool and nylon, although this is more expensive. The typical ratio is 80 percent wool and 20 percent nylon. For the home game room a synthetic nylon will serve the purpose, but be sure to consider how often games will be played.

Underneath the cloth lies a very important component, the table top itself. For bars and other businesses it is recommended that one inch slate is used, as this is the most durable and is very smooth. If the primary use will be in the home, half-inch slate is appropriate. Although there are cheaper surfaces, such as particle board or plastic, these tend to warp.

The rails should be always made of solid hard wood regardless if the target placement is in a home or bar. However, for commercial use, look to see if there are bolts that go through the slate to secure the rail in place, as this is ideal. Cushions with a K-66 profile and that use Grade A rubber will provide a superior bounce.

Durability and quality are directly related to the construction of the legs. Solid hard wood, not hollow wood, provides superior endurance. Ideally, the legs will support the slate itself, not just the frame. Remember, the legs are responsible for providing the most support out of all the components involved.

Solid hard wood is the best for the overall construction of the frame as well for home use. Although to save on cost, and if durability is not of primary concern, particle board with a veneer or laminate can be used. Logically, places of business should use solid wood, preferably enforced with metal, to ensure longevity.

Size is of concern for both placing the table, as well as pleasing the target gamers. The choices for size are gauged by length, from six all the way up to nine feet. The smaller lengths are suitable for home use, with the average being eight feet. Those that are nine feet in length are used in tournaments by professionals. Whatever the choice, be sure the room is large enough to accommodate not only the table, but also room enough for people to actually play the game.

Selecting a billiard table is driven by cost, how often games will be played, and personal preferences. All of the components have higher quality more expensive options that are nice for home use, but critical for placement in a bar or business. Slate coupled with solid hard wood will provide the most durability and superior performance. Never compromise on the quality of the legs, as they provide the primary support for keeping the game in play. Finally, be sure the intended game room is an appropriate size, without hindering the games in anyway.
