Ozpimps,
I was thinking of getting a pool table for the living room, a 7 foot one. Has anyone had any luck with anyone that makes or sells them? It would get a lot of use. Happy to pay a few grand or a refurb if good value.
Buying Pool Tables

Could just go to a pool hall. Or buy Wii Pool or whatever.
Pool table is always a hit when you entertain at home out the back however, enclosed verandah, BBQ, music, good drinks and the pool table or ping pong top.
Getting everyone to a pool hall when not all may want to play is not really a lot of fun. It is why we have entertaining areas in backyards ).If you had a cover for it and it could function as a normal table when not in use, then that would help a lot I think.
and buy one with a slate top, not a wooden one
Indeed, more of a pain to move but never ever get a wooden top.
I got mine from https://masterbilliards.com.au/ in Sydney. Not sure where you're based though
I don't play as much as I should but no regret
Let me know if it have any specific questionsif OP is in Melbourne the business below services our commercial tables and I believe manufactures them. new commercial tables might be a bit pricey for a residential customer though.

Make sure the slate isn't cracked. Transport it accordingly. Muppets should not be involved in moving them. Get a pro. I'd buy a good second hand ex-pub type with ball return if I was you.
People always end up regretting them as they take up a bunch of space, look for 2nd hand ones on ebay or gumtree. You can usually find them for 50% off retail.
