How Much Does a Pool Table Cost?
This guide covers typical pool table prices, what affects the cost, and how to compare options and quotes.
Typical prices by job

|---|---|---|
| Used basic table | Simple or older table, condition varies | $500 - $1,500 |

Ranges are typical, not quotes - the price for your job depends on scope and location, so always confirm with the provider.
What affects the price
Slate tables generally cost more than MDF or other non-slate models, and larger sizes, premium finishes, and established brands add to the price. Used tables can be a bargain, but condition, missing parts, and the cost of moving or refelting may reduce the savings. Delivery and installation depend on distance, stairs, access, and whether the table needs assembly or leveling. Custom work and commercial use can also raise the total.
How to pay less
Compare new and used tables in person when possible, and check the playing surface, rails, pockets, and frame before buying. Ask for an itemized total that includes delivery, installation, leveling, and any accessories, rather than comparing table prices alone. Choose a standard size and finish, and avoid paying for features you will not use. Compare two or three quotes from independently reviewed providers on Reedleys to see quickly whether a number is fair.
Cost questions
Sometimes, but many sellers charge separately, especially for stairs, long-distance delivery, or difficult access. Confirm what assembly, leveling, and cleanup the quote covers.
A used table can offer value if its slate, frame, and cushions are in good condition. Check the cost of transport and repairs before deciding.
Quotes may cover different services, travel distances, and site conditions. Ask whether the price includes moving, assembly, leveling, and refelting if needed.
