You'll need help to transport your table, which might weigh eight hundred pounds or more. This massive weight may rest solely on four small leg posts on your rug or floor, so pick its resting place carefully!
Your installer may suggest you locate your table to take advantage of the condition or level on a particular spot on your floor. Leave room to spare for installation and space to decorate after the table is installed in place. Assembly can be somewhat complex, especially if you want the essential rails and pockets installed just so.
Few surfaces are as level as a pool table's, whose slate is calibrated to thousandths of an inch. Competent installers check the level several months after installation, when the table has settled deeply into its resting place.
Most dealers will install your purchase (including assembly and leveling) free of charge (or else they include "free" accessories in an installation package). The key is to have them by appointment visit a second time after the table is installed. Months after the initial installation, the table should have settled a bit into place, and needs to be re-leveled at that time.
