Pool Table Movers

Is your pool table an integral part of your game room? Is it the centerpiece of that same room and really and truly a wonderful piece of furniture? If so, when you have to move to a new home you will need to consider special pool table movers when time comes. Did you buy a pool table from a private individual? Is the slate on the pool table, one slab or in pieces?

If the slate is in sections you may be able to affect the move of the pool table by yourself with the help of maybe another friend and a dolly to move the slate. If the slate is a single piece; as finer pool tables are, you will need the service of pool table movers to insure you incur no damage to your table in the move.

Pool table movers are similar to piano movers as there is an art to moving fine pool tables or “billiard tables” as most retailers of manufacturers like Olhausen, Brunswick and Shelti like to refer to their higher end products. Many high end tables are true works of art and are fine furniture indeed. The more ornate a table the more expensive it is. As you go up in price, the need for pool table movers increases to insure your table arrives safely and is set back up properly.

The BCA, in addition to promoting the sport through competition and exhibitions, also holds an annual trade show called the International Billiards and Home Recreation Expo show. Over 100 manufacturers filling over 400 booths filled the show this year in Las Vegas.
