Ordered my new English pool table from yourselves a couple of weeks back. Can’t wait for it to come 👌
Hope you enjoy it when it gets installed!
Great guide! Appreciate you spent so much time bringing us the information!
What a fantastic set up you guys have, love the positive up beat presentations, very informative, professional and ultimately made us choose you guys for our new pool table, cant wait until it arrives!!! PS love the Spaniels
Thanks for the kind words! We've done our best to create the best showrooms we can to fire the imagination, so we're glad to hear you enjoyed it! Charlie and Frank will be pleased to know that they still have their fans! (though we know their egos aren't getting any smaller as a result)
What a fantastic video, very well presented, thank you for all the clear and precise information. 👍👍
Great to hear! Glad that you enjoyed it!
1:41 I want both THAT pool table along with the Coors Light table light above it. I freaking love it!
excellent video!! thanks so much, very informative
Great video Andy and a lovely looking shop you've got setup there. I move out into my new apartment in Februaryish time and will hopefully be driving down to see you guys in Bristol to get myself an english table, obviously corona dependent. I have always played on pub tables so I thought it better if I came and got a feel for the tables so I'm sure on the purchase. See you in the new year 👍
We look forward to seeing you! Our showrooms aren't going anywhere, so we look forward to welcoming you when the circumstances allow!
good video for new buyers
Thanks for the video!
this is a brillant video - thanks so much we are now going to combine out dining table with a pool table
Thanks for the words! We're still surprised how many people don't know about pool dining tables, so we hope you can find one that suits all of your needs.
Such a cool vid. I want one. Just need to move out my flat to a house 1st lol
nice guide for pool buyers. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful tables!!! A dream come true
We're pretty proud of the collection we've amassed!
What are the pocket dimensions on a Rasson 9 ft table?
Fantastic video fantastic explanation Unfortunately I' Live in Germany So Can't visit The show room
Sorry to hear that Jamie! Be sure to drop in if you're ever passing by!
Great video, plan to come and visit the show room very soon. I appreciate this is not a simple question depending on what finish I purchase - however - typically how long from purchase to delivery? A matter of weeks or months? Thank in advance and look forward to seeing you soon - I feel like I know Andy already with the amount of videos I've watched now 😂
Hi Dan,
Looking forward to seeing you in the showroom soon! Your question is definitely quite tricky right now, as you can probably expect, pool table demand is quite unprecedented! It largely depends on the range and manufacturer, but the main long lead times are if you want a table made to order. Lead time on those is around 18-20 weeks. Things become MUCH faster if you choose a pre-made, off-the-shelf model, which we'd be able to get to you in 1 - 3 weeks depending on your availability and location. Our team will be able to advise you on what's in stock.
Hope this helps!
@@HomeLeisureDirect Excellent thank you for the information. I'll contact you directly for a visit within the next month or so. Looking forward to it.
Do you deliver to Barcelona Spain? Do you have diamond/star/Brunswick?
How does the height of the table tennis top compare to a standard table tennis table?
Excellent video!
Agree with other commenters, fantastic video and thank you. Having spied a table I admired in your video, can I order one shipped to America?
Hi there,
We tend not to ship pool tables to America because of the costs and risks of damage during shipping (especially to the slate which requires special care). If there's something you're especially interested in and would still be open to discuss, get in touch with our sales team. We'll see what we can work out. :)
Has anyone tried a steel slab instead of slate or MDF?
Really wish these English 8 ball tables were available in America
Do you do any slate bed tables that can be moved on wheels or some way? I'm looking to put it either in the kitchen or living room and want to put it back in place as and when I use it! I think I'd like a 7ft English table. Cheers 👍
The issue you'd face there is with a lot of standard door frames, which normally aren't wide enough to allow a table to go through built as they are. As such, most pool tables instead opt for the option of just having a table top to lay on the pool table so it can function as a standard table (like all the pool diners in the video).
An option you might want to look into are things called "Furniture Sliders", which allow a pool table to move very easily over a carpeted surface very easily by simply pushing it along.
@@HomeLeisureDirect thanks for the reply and advice, I'll check that out. Cheers 👍
谢谢！
hello my oldest bed size 80 inch by 36 inch modified ?posible inlarge 44 inches by 88 inches
60 inch cue left 24 inch earia inouf ? room floor size 10 ft by 10 feet
Could I fit a 6ft table in a space of 18x10 foot room ?
Hi Helen, with your own dimensions, you'd be fine with your 18ft for any type of cue, but your 10ft would limit you down to a 36" cue (the smallest size available) for those shots going down that side of the table. If you have a pool table in mind, you will be able to look up details using the "Will it Fit" guide on every listing (you'll find it next to the "Size" option on the right hand side of the listing)
What is the name of the pool table he's talking about at 4:53 ? Where can I find it online?
The table we're demonstrating on there is a Signature Tournament Pro Edition pool table (available to get in either dedicated free-play or with coin mech options). Head to our website, do a search for "Tournament" in the search bar and you'll find it quickly. :)
Could I fit a 6ft in a space of 18x10 ?
How much is they regular table,in what is that size,t.y
"Regular" is largely subjective when it comes to pool. Regular can mean the size they use in tournaments, or it can mean the size you're just used to playing on. Either way, all sizes and prices can be seen on our website. :)
Technically, American pool also has 7ft tables so the space point is not 100% accurate.
They call them bar box tables.
Pubs, leagues play on them.
Diamond do a nice 7ft table as well.
Like you said, depends on what is in your area and if you are a serious player or not.
4:02 What does it mean by "the slate will shift"? has'nt it been bolted?
It's been bolted, so will stay in place in general terms, but will still move very small amounts if moved, which can cause problems with the filler that bridges the join between the sections. We have a video dedicated to sectional slates on our website you can check over if you want more details.
@@HomeLeisureDirect Alright then,
thank you
Hi can I get an American pool 7 ft. Table in 250$ to 300$ plz guide me I have this budget
With nets on side for money budget
Not 7 8 ft or 9 ft
@@kainatijaz7641 Hi there, whilst we cater primarily for the UK market, we can hopefully give you an idea. The cheapest American model we do sells for £1197 (about $1650), so you may struggle to get off the ground at your budget. If your budget is that firm, then you may want to look into wooden-bed tables or to find a pre-owned pool table.
I don't know anything about pool tables!
Good luck anyone who orders a bespoke table at the moment ,no chance.
Great video with really useless information! I’m looking to buy a 7ft English pool table in the near future.
Thanks for the feedback Oscar! What do you need to know that we didn't cover?
@@HomeLeisureDirect much apologies, I meant to say ‘useful’ information😂😂😂
