Written by the company

Welcome to Home Pool Tables, a family-owned business offering top-quality British-made slate bed pool tables at affordable prices. Established in 1974, we started by manufacturing and supplying coin-operated pool tables to pubs, youth clubs, and leisure centres. Our late father helped design the early Super League 7 x 4 pool table, which evolved into the UK 8-ball pool table. By the 1990s, we operated over 2,000 amusement machines and provided snooker table installation, recovering, and refurbishment services nationwide. As the domestic pool table market grew, we shifted focus to producing high-quality tables for home use, with custom design options. In 2016, we opened Scotland's largest Pool and Snooker Showroom in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. Today, we offer a wide range of games room products, including air hockey, football tables, and accessories. Our experienced team is available to assist with product advice, and we provide nationwide delivery and ongoing support through our Midlands distribution hub. One of the things we pride ourselves on is the amount of control and freedom we offer each customer. We stock a wide range of pool table types beyond standard (all full-size) such as commercial pool tables, pool dining tables, outdoor pool tables and foldable pool tables. All of which are customisable in the finish, cloth type and colour and further details like the legs or corners. We also offer an extensive range of accessories, a standard set with everything you need to play included for free - but also more high-end specialist level balls and cues.

Great service from start to finish

Great service from start to finish. There were delays over the Christmas period but Daniel kept me informed of the progress. I went for the Goodwood white gloss which had to be made on demand. Fantastic table.Ash cues are superb. The install team were polite and efficient and were very patient with me on the final position. Very pleased. Thank you.

I rarely take the time to leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience after purchasing a pool table from this company. Unfortunately, I have to say that the after-sales service has been quite disappointing.

When my table arrived a few weeks ago, it was set up correctly, and I was informed that an exchange would happen later for the correct order. I thought that sounded fair, so I waited. After two weeks, I reached out to find out what was happening. I was promised that someone would get back to me to resolve the issue, but no one ever did.

I decided to send an email expressing my frustration, hoping to get some clarity. But again, no one responded. I made two more phone calls, and still, I was met with the same promises of getting things sorted, but no follow-up came. Now, I’m stuck with a pool table that’s not what I ordered.

It’s really disheartening, especially considering how much these tables cost. You’d expect better attention to customer satisfaction. I wish this review could be more positive, but I can only reflect the reality of my experience. I’m left feeling disappointed and quite let down.

Hi Stephen,

We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you’ve felt disappointed with your experience — that’s certainly not the impression or level of service we aim to provide.

We’d like to clarify a key part of what happened. During the process, you were in contact with the factory directly regarding the replacement table legs as the ones supplied were the wrong colour back in January of this year. Unfortunately, the black legs required for your order were out of stock at the factory at that time. This caused an unexpected delay that was outside of our immediate control.

That said, we fully acknowledge that the follow-up communication you received from the factory and indirectly us did not meet the standard it should have. For that, we sincerely apologise.

There was never any intention to leave you without a resolution. The plan was always to exchange the legs as soon as the factory restocked them, and we regret that this wasn’t communicated clearly or consistently enough, leading to understandable frustration.

I can confirm a new date has been offered to you in March within a fortnights time to exchange the grey legs for the black version.

Buying an expensive piece of furniture…

Buying an expensive piece of furniture on line comes with some apprehension, but a friendly phone call in advance and assurance helped. The ordering process, and delivery were straight forward and installation by a local team was quick and efficient. Had a small issue with a cue but that was resolved within a day ! .. the important part .. the solid oak, mitred joints, and quality of the table are awesome !! I’m sure years of enjoyment ahead. Oh yeah and it’s a solid, great looking dining table. We went for the 6x3 due to room size and having played pool for a few ‘decades’ have no regrets about size. An all round great piece, service and would recommend 👍🏼

My pool table was installed by Jimmy & Jeff and they were amazing. Jimmy knew literally everything about pool tables and gave me plenty of tips for keeping my new table in good condition. Showed me how to brush it, talked me through how he was setting it up. Both Jimmy and Jeff were so enthusiastic about their work and what made me even happier was the care they took to make sure they didnt make a mess! They were extremely respectful and great guys! 5/5👏

Outstanding Pool Table Supplier

Buying a pool table frrom Home Pool Tables Direct was a delightful experience from beginning to end.
When we visited their showroom Daniel explained all the pros and cons of the various types of pool table and helped us choose the right table for our needs.
The installation team did an outstanding job of installing the table exactly where we wanted it and took the trouble to show me the internals of the ball return system and demonstrate to me how it worked.
On completion of the installation they made sure we were happy with everything and took the time to explain in detail how to clean and look after the table.
I am so glad that I chose to buy from Home Pool Tables Direct.
