ive been thinking about buying a pool table since i was in sec 4
i still want to
unfortunately, my house, despite its sheer size, is still considered too small for a pool table, which is disappointing
i checked on some guides online and the recommended size for a room is as follows
for a 9ft table (tournament size, and my preferred choice), 18ft 4 by 14ft 2
for a 8ft table, 17ft 4 by 13ft 8
for those of you like myself who can't convert imperial to metric units, here's a pretty handy guide.
Here's my living room from another view
another quick conversion guide from my measuring tape is that 16 ft is about 4-6 cm shorter than 5m
for those of you observant enough, may notice that my living room has a rather perculiar pillar/wall/support structure rising out from the left corner of it. yeah, that's the part that's screwing up my calculations.
so technically, my living room can be extended significantly lengthwise, but not widthwise, also my tv and sofa is going to be there so there has to be enough room to put the sofa there to watch the tv.
anyway, i'm predicting that there will be a high likely hood that i may have to stand on my sofa to hit the white ball when it's near the corner, which to me is quite ok and more fun actually, since i'm usually the one laughing the loudest at any pool hall, but my guests may think otherwise.
there's a particularly cool pool table that i have my eye set on
it's the Fusion table by Aramith. Looks very classy and elegant and doubles as a dining table complete with matching chairs
unfortunately, it's priced at 6500 per unit and is only a 7ft table.
my living room is 15ft by 13ft 9 inches from before the pillar, which means, the length can be extended but the width will have to be sacrificed.
my dining room is 13ft by 11-12 ft, which at first i thought would be enough for my table.
so, the only thing i can do now is to wait til i get my own bachelor pad before i can get my own pool table. hopefully, when and if i stay overseas for a long enough period, land and pool table prices will drop
