Even in the great state of Texas where even the steers get sunburned, are nice to have on a rainy day. Also there are nights when a good friendly game would be an excellent way to end an evening. A pool table would be great for that, but they are not the cheapest thing you can buy. Used pool tables might be just right for you.
As they are still well priced even used it is best to take sometime to make sure you wholesale Table Legs get a quality table. Even if some pool table repair is required you can still get a high quality table for the price of cheap pool tables. They are all but impossible to move yourself and they are as much of a piece of furniture as your coffee table so you really want to get the right one. Always consider it a piece that you will keep for a lifetime.
Perhaps the hardest part of buying your used pool table is finding one at the best price. This is not as easy as it sounds and can take quite a while, but before you cut corners remember the lifetime thing. You need you find someone that has to sell it, preferable very quickly. These people are moving and have to get rid of it (maybe within the next few days!) and are willing to let it go at an inexpensive price. To find a deal like that you are going to have to plow through newspapers and be willing to wait for that perfect deal. On the other side of that coin are the people who just want to get rid of their pool table. Beware. They are in no rush to get rid of it, so they are willing to hold out for a much higher price.
Now there are some things you need to think about as well, namely who is going to be playing it and where will it be. You don’t need the same finish for the kids in the basement as you would for the gaming room that the adults use too. For them, you want at least a veneer but preferably solid wood. Not only do they age better but are a good sign of solid construction. While you are at it take a peek underneath. You want the wood to be sealed there as well (you will know when you see it) and hopefully see that it bolts from the bottom.
The other big concern you should have is the slate. It is unlikely you will see one with a single piece of slate, such as valley, are more for younger players. You want the slate in three pieces, they level easier. You also want to get one with one inch slate. Measure it because they will try to pawn off 7/8 inch for one inch and it is not the same. The pockets? Are they painted or dyed? The paint will start to flake at some point.
The biggest thing you really might need to know is have it professionally moved. Yes, it cost money but is safer for your used pool tables and much easier.
