Needless to say there are many brand names available. What should I be looking for in a table?. I want to buy quality, not necessarily furniture. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I am going to post the same text I used for a similar question asked of me in the past. ---------- Key things to look for in a pool table: The slate making up the bed of the table should be 1 inch or more thick.

There should only be two seams in the slate--that is, the slate should be made up of only three sections. This may sound like a crude system but it actually tells you a lot--the heavier the table the more likely it is of better quality. A better built table has center beams that run the length of the table and interlock with the cross members. The entire weight of a billiard table rests on its legs. With regard to pockets, feel the material they are made from. The cloth should be a napless weave. Hope that helps. Paint - Interior Paint & Stain - Greens at The Home Depot.
