### Games Room Centrepiece
A pool table is the centrepiece of any games room - **mates around for a frame, teaching the kids, quiet practice**. But pool tables are heavy, precise equipment. The slate alone weighs as much as a person.
> 🎱 **Levelling is everything.** Pool balls roll towards the lowest point. Even 1-2mm slope is noticeable. Potting becomes random. Game frustration guaranteed.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions about Pool table assembly in Newton Abbot
Why is levelling so important?
Pool balls roll on flat surfaces - even a tiny slope affects play. Professional tables are levelled to fractions of a millimetre. Unlevel = frustrating game.
How heavy are pool table slates?
A typical 7ft table has slate weighing 80-100kg per section - often three sections. Total assembled weight 300-500kg.
Can any floor support a pool table?
Most ground floors are fine. Upper floors need checking. Concrete is ideal. I'll give honest advice about your space.
Can you re-level an existing table?
Yes - houses settle over time. Shims may need adjusting. Also happy to look at partial assembly completions.
