Pool Tables - Is A Used Pool Table Really Better Value Than A New Pool Table? by Michael Hemmins
I see many pool tables offered for sale whereby the seller states that the buyer must remove! Even pub type tables can weigh in at over 200kg (400lbs), and many tables are located either upstairs or down in the cellar - no wonder the seller wants the buyer to do all the hard work! Think long and hard here...you may be happy renting a van and travelling perhaps a few hundred miles. But if you're looking to buy a quality pool table (e.g. Brunswick, SAM, Olhausen etc...), then you will be dealing with sectional slates at around 110kgs (240lbs) per section, but the weight isn't the real problem, the real issue is if you chip the face of that slate. Even if you only chip the joint on the face of one piece of slate, you are my friend, looking at a bill for over GB850 pounds! This is because the tollerances are so tight to get the slates level, that each set is matched in the factory - bust one, you may as well bust them all.
