Pool Tables with Dining Top Buying Guide
Can a Pool Table Be Used as a Dining Table? A pool table can absolutely be used as a dining table, and there are many pool - dining table combos designed for that purpose. Generally, a pool table with dining table will be sold with a removable top made of similar material designed to match the pool table and convert it into a sophisticated dining set. Pool tables with dining tables are the perfect investment to utilize existing space in a dining room or on a patio. In addition, many of our products listed below also come with matching dining chairs or bench seats for a complete dining table set.
Is a Pool Table the Same Height as a Dining Table? Pool tables are slightly taller than standard dining tables. The Billiard Congress of America mandates professional slate pool tables to keep an average height between 29.25” and 31”. However, the added height of playing rails, toppers, and padding can bring the height of pool tables to around 34”. Unfortunately, most dining tables are between 28” and 32” tall, and the added height of a pool table can make dining uncomfortable. Thankfully, you can easily remedy the situation by purchasing chairs or bench seats that are also 1-2” taller. For this reason, most of our best pool table sets come with matching bench seats designed for the added height. Purchasing a set of matching chairs is entirely optional and customers can choose whatever chairs they want to add to their convertible pool table.
How to Convert a Pool Table into a Dining Table Converting a pool table into a dining table is incredibly easy and straightforward. Most pool tables with dining tops come with a removable dining surface that drops in around the cushions and rails and slides directly into place over the table. Voila, you’ll instantly transform your pool table into a highly aesthetic dining table.
