SECURE YOUR POOL TABLE ORDER TODAY.

Many pool tables currently have long delivery lead times due to the Pandemic. We are happy to take a 10% deposit to secure your order and guarantee your production slot. 

Due to the ongoing business disruptions caused by COVID-19, the lead times for non-stock pool tables have significantly increased. All the factories are currently operating at full capacity, resulting in extended production times. This urgent situation necessitates prompt action from potential customers. 

We appreciate that it is very frustrating to have to wait so long for such an exciting product. Still, we do not see the lead times improving any time soon and would recommend placing your order as quickly as possible.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON POOL TABLE LEAD TIMES

Of course, you are aware that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all the pool table manufacturing plants were forced to close for several months from March this year. All factories have now been open for about two months.

At the time of the closures, large quantities of existing table orders were still awaiting production from all the factories, and most of these have now been fulfilled.

What happens when you order a Pool Table?

When we receive your pool table order, a chain of events occurs, which I will explain in detail, but first, some background.

Most UK-style slate bed pool tables are manufactured in the UK. There are only four volume manufacturers in the UK, and all are based in the North West and within 30 miles of our offices.

We are distributors for them all and have a close relationship with each one. We have the added advantage of nipping around and collecting even one table when it is ready, which speeds up delivery to you, the customer.

All four companies are small—to medium-sized enterprises that work largely to their order book rather than carrying stock. Some batch produce a particular model every few weeks, while others have mixed table production lines.

Should I Have My Pool Table Cloth Recovered?

Recovering your pool table can transform its appearance and enhance its performance. A worn or torn baize often provides an inconsistent ball roll and a slow game. A poor-quality cloth will spoil the appearance of a table and make it look tired and dated.

We often get asked how frequently the pool table cloth needs changing. This, of course, depends on how much you play the table. In UK pubs and clubs, pool tables are usually recovered annually. These tables are subject to lots of play and abuse. If you look after the baize on your home table, we recommend re-clothing every 3-4 years as a rough guide.
