It is imperative that you choose the right size snooker or pool table for your room to make sure you have the correct playing space needed. Most games or dining rooms will have obstructions like fireplaces or furniture that may restrict play, sometimes we can get round these by using a shorter length cue going as small as 3′ or 3′ 6″. Whatever size your room is, there are avenues to cater for your room size.
