When you plan to buy a billiard table, you may think that the cost is the only criterion you should worry about. Though this is a very important factor, there are other important aspects. What is the actual reason for the purchase? Is it for a family game room or for training for professional competitions? Is the size of your room adequate? These three factors will help you decide what type of table to purchase.

Billiard tables for the family game room are different than those for professional use. If you are looking for a table for home play, then you should not have too much trouble finding a good, relatively inexpensive table in a reputable retail establishment. However, if the billiards table is meant to help you prepare for serious competitive events, then you need to buy one that is endorsed by the BCA, or the Billiard Congress of America.

This governing body is headquartered in Colorado and dictates the terms of the billiard industry. A good quality table means spending more money, which brings you to the second critical parameter; your budget. For an average billiard pool table, a budget of $500-5,000 US is reasonable. Yet, for a real professional table, be prepared to spend about $5,000-15,000 US.
