So whether you’re looking for the budget family option, equipping your pub’s games room, or splashing out on a contemporary, luxury table for your penthouse, this list should be your first stop.

Best for Families

A family table has to serve several purposes. It has to look good in your home, be suitable for players of all ages and, above all, provide a thrilling game. These are two of the best for your family and are both available in either 6- or 7-foot lengths.

Strikeworth Pro American

A prerequisite of a family table is to be durable. The Pro American, with its robust cabinet and an industry-leading 18mm MDF bed (which outperforms most other MDF pool table surfaces), will stand up to years of tough and competitive play. The black finish will look good in any environment and there’s a choice of a red or blue cloth.

The internal ball return, a real rarity on an MDF-bed table at this price point, will make both adults and youngsters feel like they’re really playing on a top-flight professional table.

Lynx Pro

Not only does the Lynx Pro embody all the styling of a classic American pool table with its glacier-white finish, but it’s built to last with an 18mm thick wood composite playfield for clean and precise shots. This will encourage the whole family to play together for hours and improve their skills. Chromed corner caps enhance the look of this table and protect your children from sharp corners, as well as prolonging the long life of the Lynx Pro.

This table also has an internal ball return, a feature which is generally only found on slate bed tables and which redirects balls to a collection area - which means no more emptying pockets by hand.

Best For Children

Pool is an ideal game for children, teaching them coordination, accuracy and important social skills too. But you may not wish to invest in an expensive table while they are still at a young age, or you simply might not have the space for one, so here are two excellent and versatile kid-oriented tables which offer both durability and impressive value for money.

Pureline Snooker/Pool Table

The Pureline is a pre-assembled table which offers remarkable value for money, as well as instilling a love of the game in your kids. It’s ideal if you are short on space, as the legs cleverly fold away easily and quickly, allowing the table to be stored away. With an 18mm thick wood composite playfield, high quality cloth and responsive cushions, you’ll be amazed at the quality of game on this table.

You also get two games for the price of one, as included with the 6 foot table are not only a set of snooker balls, two cues, a triangle and cue chalk, but also a set of pool balls, a rest stick, a brush and even a scoreboard.

Tekscore Folding Leg Pool Table

The Tekscore Folding Leg will keep both you and your children entertained for years with its dual games combination. One minute it’s a pool table with an excellent, high-quality playing field, but the next minute, with the addition of a one-piece top, it transforms into a table tennis table, marked with white pitch lines and complete with a net! The pool playing surface, surrounded with rubber cushions, allows for precise and accurate shots - ideal for you and your children to perfect your game.

It can be stored away in seconds thanks to the folding legs, and even arrives fully assembled - just unfold and play! The high-quality construction and design ensure that this will be a family favourite for years.

Best For Very Young Kids

Even tiny tots will enjoy and benefit from playing pool, but at a formative age it’s valuable to introduce them to a number of different activities - because attention spans at this age are notoriously short! Your little one can have a bedroom cluttered with various games that they’re always tripping over – or you can invest in a fantastic multi-purpose pool table, like the two we present for you here.

Tekscore Goal

When your children are very young, you want to stretch their imagination as far as possible. Pool is an excellent way to develop many skills at a young age, including hand-to-eye coordination and concentration. But the Tekscore Goal really goes far beyond in both entertaining and educating children, because this incredible and robust table offers a huge twenty-one different games in one unit. Yes, twenty-one!

TriSport

Are you short on space but still want a table that will keep small children – not to mention the rest of the family – happy and enthralled for hours? The TriSport is a truly innovative table which boasts a unique triangular rotation system. It changes from pool to air hockey to foosball in seconds, while its compact size, at just 4 foot in length, means that it can be used virtually anywhere.

Best Pool Dining Table

We all like to utilise all the space in our homes, and you may think that you don’t have room for a pool table. But what if it were to serve a dual purpose – one minute a pool table, the next a stylish dining table? Not only would that make outstanding use of space, but it would be an invaluable addition to your living or dining room, and a great conversation starter too. Here we recommend some transformative pool dining tables that will suit every price point.

Budget

Pureline Pool Diner

The 6ft Pureline pool and dining table will bring style and minimalism to your home at a price so low you will think we’ve got it wrong! The choice of three beautiful colour schemes – opt for Driftwood, Wood or White – will accentuate any décor, no matter how modern or sleek. The thick wooden playfield provides excellent performance for games, with great rebound from the rubber cushions, while rubber liners in each drop pocket soften the sound of balls being potted.

But, in seconds, the dining top will convert your pool table into a fabulous dining table, with the shallow cabinet ensuring plenty of legroom for family and friends. Or, if you prefer, simply turn the top over and you have a whole new game, with a table tennis playfield marked out on the reverse. Bats, balls and nets are even included.

Amalfi II

Sophisticated and with performance that belies its price, the Amalfi II combines excellent gameplay with pure elegance. It’s constructed in a tough wood composite which will give years of service with a beautiful smooth finish, accentuated by a classy recessed pinstripe. But it plays as good as it looks, with its compressed 15mm MDF bed and premium rubber cushions providing performance and action that’s guaranteed to get the whole family playing.

Yet it’s the work of seconds to turn this glamorous table into an equally attractive dining table, with plenty of leg room courtesy of the shallow cabinet. The two-piece dining top simply lifts into place, and can be turned over to reveal the table tennis playfield on the flip side.

Kendo

If you want a table that brings an air of Japanese style to your home at a decidedly minimalist price, then look no further than the striking Kendo pool table. Named after the Oriental martial art, it’s as clean as a sword thrust. The 18mm wood bed provides fine performance with an impressive build quality that sees the bed supported internally with steel struts, to make the bed resistant to warping and ensuring a better game.

The eye-catching X-shaped wooden legs bring a contemporary touch to any room, while the quality speed cloth and choice of White, Driftwood or Oak finishes will make this a table of which to be proud. But, of course, that’s not all! With its multipurpose top, it easily transforms into either a table tennis table or a dining table which will stop guests in their tracks with admiration.

Mid Budget

Classic Diner

If you are serious about your pool playing, then a slate bed table will be at the top of your wish list. The Classic Diner fulfils that wish and more at a very reasonable price. This table boasts a single piece slate bed, honed and handcrafted for perfect flatness, and manufactured to commercial table standard. And the table comes with an elegant matching top, for a quick transformation into a fabulous dining table. There is a choice of cloth colours and finishes to choose from, and the Classic Diner also has a rare extra attribute.

Unlike many dining pool tables, it has an integrated ball return to direct balls into the collection drawer. A clever design makes this possible despite the slimness of the cabinet, which means diners always have plenty of leg room. Available to fit your home in either 6ft or 7ft lengths with various custom options, the Classic Diner could even serve equally well as a boardroom table in an office, with, of course, the promise of extracurricular pool games!

High Budget

Phoenix

If you demand a combination of sophistication and functionality for your home, then the 7ft Phoenix earns top marks in every area. Its modern design is perfect for the contemporary environment, while its top-quality construction in superior materials will guarantee a game that will please even the most exacting of players. The frame and legs are handmade in solid beechwood, chosen for its durability, and finished in Piano White or Piano Black. It features a concealed ball return system with retractable ball drawers, to give more leg room when configured as its dining table alter-ego.

A one-inch thick slate bed ensures ball roll as accurate as on any tournament table. The Phoenix transforms into a beautiful dining or office table with a colour coordinated top. Opt for the additional matching benches and dinner guests will never guess they are eating at a pool table!

Precision

Oak always shouts quality and never more so than in the 7ft Precision, which combines a one-inch slate bed and cabinet with exceptional value. Each Precision is handmade from solid oak, meaning that no two are the same; every table is unique. But the timelessness of its glazed wood finish makes it as at home in modern décor as it is in an old house. Gameplay is remarkable thanks to the thick slate bed and solid-mount cushions giving a spirited ball response.

The Precision is fitted with an internal ball return system with two concealed ball drawers, keeping balls out of the way when this table is speedily converted into a dining or board room table with the included top. There is the optional extra of matching solid oak benches, which offer storage spacious enough to accommodate full-length cues and other gaming equipment.

California Outdoor

If you want a truly multi-functional pool table, then the California could be the ideal choice for you. Not only does it combine the excitement of a professional-style pool table with an elegant dining table, but because of its weather-resistant construction you can enjoy it either indoors or outside. Take your game into the garden and then enjoy an alfresco meal for up to ten guests. Simply lift on the two-piece top when you want the California to transform into a diner.

Matching benches are also available, designed to be stored under the table when a game of pool is underway. If dining isn’t on your mind, then a full table tennis equipment kit is also included with this table. With so many facets to its personality, the California is an incredibly versatile choice.

Best Outdoor Pool Table

Having a pool table outside can be an excellent use of space, whether you’re playing to buy one for your home patio or decking, or capitalising on exterior space in a pub or club setting. But you need to be sure of buying a table that will cope with the variable British climate while providing you with the best possible game - so here are two of the best.

California

As well as being a versatile pool and dining table combination, the California combines the performance of a professional style slate bed table with the convenience of being able to site the table either indoors or outside – and look equally at home in both environments. This table has been created to cope with all extremes of weather, thanks to its powder coated aluminium structure which makes it both extremely strong and incredibly weatherproof.

That strength also results in an excellent game; the rigidity minimises energy loss so that balls rebound from the cushions swiftly and accurately, and play on the one-piece slate is what you might expect from a professional level table. That slate bed is covered with waterproof tournament quality speed cloth. The California is also supplied with table tops to transform it into an al fresco dining table - or even a table tennis table!

Outback Pro

The Outback Pro is an improved version of one of the most successful outdoor British pool tables ever manufactured. It’s now equipped with an extra wide top frame, die-cast protective corner caps and recessed pocket corners. Constructed in heavy duty marine plywood with a gloss white laminate finish, the table’s 3/4-inch slate playing field and internal ball return will provide you with a top-class game for years to come.

The slate bed is covered with a napless speed cloth in a choice of blue or green, while the table can be fully protected in bad weather with the included cover. The Outback Pro is available either as a free play version or fitted with a token coin mechanism, to make it the ideal choice for either the domestic or commercial setting.

Best Pool Multigame Table

We all like to get value for money, and no more so than when choosing a pool table for the home. If you want to make the maximum use of space in your place, then a multi game convertible table is the perfect choice. It will give you a choice of gaming experiences, making it a beautiful and useful piece of furniture which can be in continual use.

Pureline 7ft Multigames and Dining Table

Whatever age you are, there are three table top games which you will always enjoy - and this Pureline table brings that trio together in exquisite harmony. You can start with the pool table which, with its speed cloth, reactive cushions and drop pockets, will guarantee you an exhilarating game. Fancy something different? It transforms into an air hockey table with a powerful airflow, puck return system and low friction surface for lively and competitive games.

After that, how about a game of table tennis, made all the more exciting by the high bounce surface? Then, if you’re worn out, hungry or it’s time to go back to work, the Pureline converts into a stylish dining table or desk which will complement any home or office.

Strikeworth 7ft Multigames Table

If you want three table top games but have neither the space of the budget to accommodate three separate units, then this table from Strikeworth is the perfect solution. In seconds, you can be playing a new game, as an ingenious rotational design allows you to switch between an all-action pool table with speed cloth and responsive cushions, to a thrilling air hockey playfield with a 240v fan working through the surface’s hundreds of tiny perforations. Whatever your choice, just unlock the latches, spin the table, lock it into place and you are ready to play.

It’s so light that one person can do it easily. Lift the supplied table 3/4-size tennis top into place, and you have another fast and exciting game at your fingertips. All the accessories you need to play each game are provided, and can be cleverly stored away in the table after use.

Best Folding Table

Think you don’t have enough room in your home for a pool table? Think again – the answer could be a pool table which simply folds away! Make the most of the space you have without cutting back on your fun!

Tekscore Folding Leg Pool Table

With its folding metal legs, the Tekscore Folding Leg Pool Table can be completely flattened, enabling it to slide under a bed or be tucked into a corner when not in use. However, strength has not been compromised for convenience. Its metal subframe and sturdy MDF body ensure that it will stay put when in play, while individually adjustable feet make it easy to set up the perfect playing level.

Responsive rubber cushions and speed cloth create an exciting and enjoyable game. It also features a one-piece table tennis top which can be neatly stored with the table when packed away. This really is an economical and handy way to be able to play the games you love in your own home.

Tekscore 5ft Folding Multigame Table

At a surprisingly low price, the Tekscore 5ft Multigame Table brings the passion and energy of two fantastic games into your home. The pool table, with its MDF bed and rubber cushions, will provide entertainment for the whole family, but rotate the table and you are plunged straight into the thrill and melee of an air hockey game. The low-friction air hockey playfield is plugged into the mains to provide a strong airflow through over 1500 jets in the surface.

You’d never have thought you could have both a pool and an air hockey table in your home, but the Multigame Table has an extra trick up its leg. When the rotating mechanism is unlocked, the cabinet can be rotated so that it can be stored vertically. There’s even a special cubby hole to store your gaming accessories and keep them safe.

Best Pub-Style Pool Table

For decades, a pool table has been an asset to so many pubs and clubs, encouraging customers in and giving them the chance to compete in a convivial atmosphere - whether for a cheery knockabout or a serious pub league contest. Of course, any table designed for this environment has to be tough – really tough – and so these are two of the best.

Supreme Winner

If you are choosing a pool table for pubs, clubs and the like, you need to be sure it can withstand the wear and tear of constant and often enthusiastic use. The Supreme Winner is one such table. Its solid MDF body is complemented by diecast corner caps and thick plastic legs provide strength. But its robustness is matched by a performance that expert players will appreciate, with a slate bed, internal ball return, professional standard cushions and Strachan cloth giving a truly tournament-grade playing experience.

Designed for commercial settings as well as homes, the Supreme Winner can be fitted with a coin or contactless payments mechanism (or, if you are purchasing for your home, with no coin mechanism at all).

Omega

The Omega Professional is ideally suited to all uses, which is why it’s so popular in pubs and sports centres and yet found in many homes, too. The combination of robust build and superb performance makes it in demand wherever it’s situated. A 3/4-inch thick slate bed partnered with premium speed cloth provides accurate gameplay suitable for amateur and professional players alike. The quad-mounted cushions provide excellent and sure rebound, and each corner is fitted with a protective metal cap.

The Omega Professional is available in 6ft and 7ft British spec sizes, and there is a choice of finishes to suit your space. If you’re buying for the home, choose the free-play option, whilst for your venue, the Omega can be fitted with a coin or contactless payments mechanism.

Best American Pool Table

American pool, with its larger tables, balls and pockets, is a different game entirely to British pool. Its smooth ‘speed’ cloth often results in a faster game than its British counterpart. American pool tables are generally larger than the British equivalent, and can provide a real statement piece in a large games room.

Low Budget

Pro American

While American pool tables are usually found in 7ft, 8ft and even 9ft lengths, the 6ft Pro American is an economic and space saving introduction to the game, providing exceptional value for money. A deep and robust cabinet is fitted with an 18mm MDF bed which is unsurpassed in its class. The legs are braced for the ultimate stability, while the table boasts an internal ball return mechanism generally only found in slate bed pool tables.

Mother-of-pearl rail sights assist in lining up a shot, while professional-standard rubber cushions give an accurate and animated response on the playing field. Four chromed corner caps protect the table from damage as well as looking attractive, and if you have the space, there is a 7ft version available too.

Medium Budget

Nevada II

If you’re looking for a mid-range American pool table, the Nevada II provides the whole package. Choose from 7ft or 8ft sizes, in satin white or satin black finishes and with your choice of Elite-Pro speed cloth, which covers the three-piece slate bed. The cabinet is built for strength with a solid timber frame. Commercial-grade rubber cushions provide consistent bounce and accommodate high ball speeds, while conventional drop style pockets await your winning shot.

The table can be levelled precisely with the feet, and also by adjusting each of the three slate sections before joining. Teardrop steel caps and an encompassing metal trim not only look good, but will protect against accidental knocks and damage.

LA Professional

The LA Professional embodies the classic look of countless tables in pool halls all over America, and now you can have that piece of Americana in your home. This is a tournament-quality table with a solid beech cabinet for durability, and a high gloss formica finish for good looks and easy cleaning. But this isn’t just an attractive table - it’s one that will provide you with the ultimate American pool experience.

The bed has been formed from three pieces of Brazilian rock slate, honed flat to provide an incomparable playing surface. Hainsworth Elite Pro American cloth gives the fast ball speeds and consistent performance essential in American pool, aided by Premier rubber cushions to provide thrilling rebound performance. The LA Pro includes a built-in ball return system and benefits from adjustable metal feet and built-in slate adjusters.

Steel

An unusual 6ft American-spec table, the Steel has brought classic American pool table design into the 21st century. As the name suggests, the cabinet and legs are constructed from lacquered steel for stability and strength, while there’s a choice of four fabulous finishes from which you can mix and match. The 19mm one-piece slate bed provides accuracy and consistency which will please players of any standard, while fast ball speeds are ensured by Simonis 760 cloth in various colour options.

As it’s just 6ft in size, it’s easy to place in your home, while an optional table top and matching benches with useful storage allow it to convert into a diner in moments.

Top Budget

Zen

If you are looking for a unique American pool table, the popular Zen is the original and ultimate. Each Zen is bespoke and made to order, allowing you numerous options in colour, finish, cloth and more, for almost infinite possibilities. The cabinet is created in strong wood and the stunning leg makes it seem as if it is floating in mid-air. You can choose from an 8ft or 9ft American-spec table, or you might choose a 7ft British-spec table. A carefully diamond-honed three-piece Italian slate bed and world-class responsive cushions will make this the best game of pool you’ll ever play.

Included with the Zen is a full set of accessories, including Aramith balls and your choice of cue stands, and our technicians will install the table upon delivery - so all you have to do is pick up a cue and play.

Olympus

American pool is a dramatic game, and the Olympus matches the drama of the action with its dazzling contemporary design. This is a world away from the classic pool table, designed with its crossed tripod legs which provide a rigid base for the sectional slate bed. The bed is fitted, joined and carefully calibrated during installation, providing a seamless flat playfield with world-class pointed rubber cushions.

Choose from the 8ft or 9ft American spec or the 7ft British spec options, and then customise the high-quality wood composite frame to suit your taste and décor, with countless colours or even wood veneers to complement the mirror polished inlaid trim. Whether placed in your home, games room or boardroom, this is a super modern design which will be admired by all.

Best Luxury Designer Pool Table

Luxury pool tables are the pinnacle of billiard sport design. Almost always with a slate bed offering the ultimate in performance, they're built into gorgeous contemporary cabinets that are guaranteed to snatch attention when installed in your games room!

Pureline Lux Grey

Pureline’s luxury 7ft table succinctly combines a slate bed pool table with an elegant dining table for stylish multifunctionality. Its frame, cabinet and legs are made from solid wood, which is then treated with a dark stain to enhance the natural unique wood grain and sealed with a special satin glaze. The inch-thick single-piece slate bed and its top-quality cloth gives genuine tournament-standard gameplay - enough for players of any level.

The cushions are mounted directly to the frame for exceptional bounce, and an internal ball return with added sound damping directs balls into a pair of hidden drawers. Included is a two-piece dining top, finished to match the cabinet, which instantly converts the Lux Grey into a sleek dining table that will be a beautiful statement piece in your home. Optional matching benches with storage facilities are also available.

San Fran

Bridging the gap between traditional pool tables and startling contemporary designs is the San Fran. With its industrial character, this table looks beguiling in any modern setting, from home to office to boardroom to members’ club. The slim table is constructed in solid wood with ash used for the legs and cabinet panels, and the top rails finished in ash timber cladding. The 8ft American spec table boasts a premium quality 1-inch sectional slate bed covered in Hainsworth Elite Pro cloth – choose your colour – for consistent ball roll.

The cushions deliver a lively ball bounce and uniform performance for accuracy and tactical play. A comprehensive accessory pack, including Aramith balls, two full-size pool cues and a cue rack are included, as is our second-to-none installation service.

Harmani

‘Spectacular’ is the first word most people use upon seeing the Harmani pool table, and that should be absolutely no surprise. With its sensational shape that sees the playing field seemingly balanced on a spiralling tower of platforms, it is quite simply dazzling. That’s also a description of the gameplay as tournament-standard cushions provide excellent rebound across the Hainsworth speed cloth, the balls hopefully heading for the linen lined drop pockets.

The finish of the Harmani is infinitely customisable with a huge range of colours from which to choose, or perhaps a wood veneer or maybe two or even three-tone. The Harmani can be supplied in 7ft British, 8ft American or 9ft American lengths, with cloth to suit. Table top options are available to convert the Harmani into a table or desk, although the design of the base may affect leg room and curtail its use as a dining table.
