Recommended room size for your table

When considering the appropriate size table for your room, take into account that squeezing in the largest table that will fit is not always the most effective approach. Enjoying a game of pool is not all about the table but the overall experience, perhaps a comfy lounge, bar or table and stools, and appropriate cue space will ensure the room is enjoyed on a regular basis. There is nothing worse than obstacles and interference while challenging your friends and family.
