Slate Pool Tables
A quality slate pool table provides a level playing surface that allows balls to roll smoothly. Thin slate used in some pool tables does not offer the same quality as that of thicker slated tables. Quality slate pool tables are said to have a minimum thickness of one inch. Thicker slate is heavier which adds stability to a pool table and not only provides a smoother play but a quieter one as well.
Italy and Brazil are known for providing quality slate well suited for use in billiard tables. Due to the weight of slate pool tables it is important that the pool table has a solid base frame to support it.
Whether you choose a slate pool table made with fine Italian or Brazilian slate you have a wide selection of choices. Wonderfully crafted designs in a variety of finishes giving you plenty of choices to choose from to compliment your room. There are quality tables in a simple traditional design and ones that are meticulously crafted and beautifully detailed.
