Pool Table

Hope this is correct place to post.

So I'm looking to buy a 7ft pool table for casual play and £500 is the budget. Is home and leisure direct the way to go?

Thanks, but they seem to be more expensive than home and leisure direct.

£500 is impossible for a new 7ft slate bed table. You’re looking at least double that. The best pool table is the Supreme Winner, but that will cost a minimum £1350.

No don't want a slate as it's too much to pay for casual games, (it will be at my parent's conservatory) and will play weekends only.

Looking at this and I'd want faster cloth. https://www.homeleisuredirect.com/p...signature-stewart-folding-leg-pool-table.html

Anyone own an MDF 7ft table?

Guess no one

@McBain did you buy it pre pandemic, if so how much were they back then?

Fitted today, brand new slate and cushions as well! Happy with the result, this thing is lightning quick. The blue and walnut aren’t the best combo, the green looked better but it’s function over style!

(Apologies for the continued thread hijack OP!

So I did end up buying a used DPT table for £800 last year. The cloth is rubbish, can't get decent cue call action. Seems to be a cheap fast cloth.

Which cloth did you go for, how much was it and how's the condition now?

Simonis 861 and it was £320 all in. It’s still in very good condition although it doesn’t clean as easily as other cloths.

Who did you use to recloth it?
