Your Pool Table Moving questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to move a pool table?

The average cost to move a pool table is $300 to $800, depending on the table's size and weight and the distance it's being moved. This price includes disassembling the table, transporting it, reassembling it at the destination, and leveling it.

Pool table moving costs are typically on the low end of the range for small 6- or 7-foot tables and at the higher end of the range for large tournament-size tables or those with a slate bed below the felt surface. The cost to move a 12-foot slate tournament table can exceed $1,500.

Other factors that influence the moving cost include whether the move involves stairs, the table has standard pockets or a ball return system, or the slate bed is one piece or a three-piece model.

Should I hire a professional to move my pool table or move it myself?

Pool tables are heavy and delicate, making them difficult to lift and maneuver without damaging them. Moving a pool table is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and skills, along with several movers to lift the heavy table. Professional pool table movers have the necessary tools and experience to ensure your move is stress-free and the table isn't damaged.

Transporting a pool table also requires a large enough vehicle, along with restraints to ensure the table doesn't shift during the move. Professional movers have the appropriate vehicle for the job.

Can any moving company transport a pool table?

Not all moving companies have the equipment or skills to move a pool table. Hiring a company that specializes in moving pool tables and other large, heavy objects is crucial to ensure your table isn't damaged in the process.

Do I need to disassemble the pool table before moving it?

Disassembling the pool table is required before moving it. Disassembly involves removing the following parts:

  • Rails
  • Pockets
  • Felt
  • Legs
  • Slate bed (for tables that have one)

Professional pool table moving prices typically include disassembling the table, loading and transporting it to the destination, and reassembling and leveling it in the new location. It's best to let the movers handle the disassembly since they will label and pack each piece to make the reassembly process easier for them.

How long does it take to move a pool table?

Moving a pool table locally takes 4 to 6 hours on average, including disassembling and reassembling the table. The total time it takes to move a pool table depends on:

  • Pool table size and weight
  • Move distance
  • Movers' expertise
  • Complexity of the move

Moves that involve stairs or tight spaces that make the pool table more difficult to maneuver typically take the longest.
