When moving a pool table, it might seem tempting to just tip and carry it, but doing so can cause serious damage. Pool tables are more than just heavy; their rigid slate beds are incredibly fragile. If we try to drag or tilt the table as a whole, the slate can crack, and the frame might warp. These damages aren’t just cosmetic—they can ruin the table’s functionality.
Instead, moving a pool table involves a multi-stage process. We start with a careful assessment of weight and access points to guarantee everything fits smoothly.
Each part, from the rails to the slate, needs to be disassembled with precision. This approach not only protects the table but also assures it’s ready for a seamless reassembly and re-leveling at its new location.
How We Disassemble the Rails, Felt, and Slate
Taking apart a pool table starts with removing the pockets and rails. Once those are off, we carefully unstaple or unglue the felt from the slate. It’s vital to handle the felt gently to avoid any damage, especially if it’s being reused.
After the felt is removed, we focus on the slate bed. Typically, a Buford table’s slate comes in three separate pieces, which we unbolt from the frame. Each piece of slate is heavy and requires careful handling to prevent any damage.
Once the slate is safely set aside, we disassemble the frame and legs. Every part is labeled meticulously to guarantee seamless reassembly later. This systematic approach allows us to efficiently break down your pool table while maintaining its integrity.
Our goal is to make certain everything is ready for a smooth reassembly after transport, keeping your table in perfect playing condition.
Transporting Heavy Slate Without Cracks or Warping
Though moving slate is challenging, our expert team guarantees it’s handled with care to prevent cracks or warping. The slate is the crux of your pool table, made up of three bed pieces that weigh several hundred pounds combined. We pad each piece carefully and carry them separately with multiple movers. This safeguards that the slate remains intact and unblemished throughout the move.
Transporting slate isn’t just about strength; it’s about precision. Each piece is secured flat and stable in our truck, preventing any shifting during transit. Mishandled slate can easily crack, which is why we never move a Buford pool table fully assembled. By disassembling it, we maintain the integrity of each component.
Our meticulous approach guarantees your pool table’s slate arrives at its destination in perfect condition. We’re committed to delivering peace of mind, knowing your prized possession is in expert hands.
Reassembly and Precision Re-Leveling for True Roll
Reassembling a pool table is an art that demands precision and expertise. We begin by meticulously rebuilding the frame and resetting the slate pieces. Each seam is waxed or filled flush to guarantee a smooth playing surface.
The key to a perfect game lies in the precision re-leveling process. Using a machinist’s level, we adjust and shim until the bed is dead flat, making sure the balls roll true.
Skipping this vital step can leave your Buford table playing off-line, a mistake that separates seasoned pool-table movers from a general crew. It’s not just about putting the pieces back together; it’s about restoring the table to its original glory.
Our commitment to detail assures that every shot you take is accurate and satisfying. Trust us to bring your pool table back to life with the precision it deserves. Your game depends on it.
New Felt and Final Playing-Surface Check
Once the pool table is perfectly reassembled and leveled, attention turns to the felt. We understand that a smooth, true surface is essential for a great game.
If the existing cloth is in good shape, we can restretch it to save you some cost. However, we recommend fresh felt when the old fabric is worn or too thin. New felt guarantees the best playability, letting the balls glide effortlessly.
After the felt is expertly applied, we conduct a final playing-surface check. We confirm the table is level, making certain every shot rolls true.
We also check the rails, ensuring they’re tight and responsive. Finally, we perform a roll test on the Buford table to verify everything is in perfect order.
Only when we’re satisfied with every detail do we hand the table back to you, ready for your next game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really have to take a pool table apart to move it?
Yes; a slate table must be broken down to rails, felt and slate, because dragging it whole cracks the slate and warps the frame.
How heavy is the slate inside a pool table?
Slate typically comes in three bed pieces totaling several hundred pounds, so each piece is carried and transported separately with padding.
Will my pool table need new felt after the move?
The crew can restretch felt that’s in good shape, but fresh felt gives the truest surface and is recommended when the old cloth is worn or thin.
Why does a pool table have to be re-leveled after moving?
The reset slate seams must be waxed and leveled with a precision level and shims so balls roll straight; skipping it leaves the table playing off.
Can you move a one-piece slate, bar-size, or antique pool table?
Yes; one-piece slate, coin-op and antique tables need extra crew and heavier padding, so we review access and table type before move day.
