Pool Tables in Lansdale, PA | Royal Billiard & Recreation
Royal Billiard & Recreation is the closest showroom carrying pool tables in Lansdale and the surrounding North Penn area. Our 7,000-square-foot Colmar showroom sits about ten minutes north of downtown Lansdale on Bethlehem Pike, a short drive whether you are coming from the SEPTA Lansdale station, the West End, or out toward Pennbrook. Every install is handled by our own service crew rather than a third-party freight carrier.
Pool Table Brands We Carry
Our pool tables come from manufacturers we have worked with for decades. The bulk of what we stock is American made because we deliberately favor domestic manufacturing.
- Olhausen Billiards – USA made, our most-stocked line (Grand Champion III, Landmark, Tournament Pro, Palazzo, and many more)
- True Billiards – USA made, premium custom-style tables
- Imperial Billiards – broad selection (Brevik, Hudson, Elton, Ashford, Reno with dining set, Axial, Luna, Aris)
- Plank & Hide Co. – modern, design-forward tables popular in newer Lansdale builds
- California House – USA made, solid-wood furniture aesthetic
Alongside the new inventory we rotate a working selection of used pool tables for sale. Every used table is inspected, releveled, and recovered as needed before it leaves the showroom.
What to Look For in a Pool Table
Pool tables are not interchangeable, and the right table depends as much on your room as on your budget. The specs that actually matter:
- Bed material – slate is the standard for serious play; more affordable tables use MDF
- Slate thickness – 3/4 inch or 1 inch is typical for home tables
- Cabinet construction – solid hardwood holds level over decades; particleboard does not
- Rail cushions – K-66 profile gum rubber is the bench standard
- Cloth – standard worsted wool for everyday play; tournament-grade cloth is faster and more durable
- Size – 7-foot, 8-foot, pro 8, and 9-foot are the common home sizes
Sizing Your Pool Table for a Lansdale Room
Most pool tables in Lansdale homes fall into one of three footprints, depending on the basement layout. You need clearance on all four sides for a full cue stroke.
- 8-foot table – minimum room: roughly 13’6″ by 17′ (with 58″ cues)
- Pro 8-foot – roughly 14′ by 17’8″
- 9-foot table – roughly 14′ by 18′
Low-ceiling basements (common in older Lansdale homes) sometimes call for shorter cues rather than a smaller table. Bring us your room dimensions and ceiling height and we will walk through the options.
Pool Table Installation and Pool Table Services
We provide professional pool table installation across the Lansdale area, often within the week of order. Kent, our general manager and pool table service expert of 25-plus years, leads the install crew. A standard pool table installation includes:
- Slate leveling to within tournament tolerances
- Cloth installation – stretched and seamed in place
- Rail and pocket installation, including new rubber when needed
- Final play check before we leave
Our pool table services do not stop at delivery. We work on tables we did not originally sell — recovering, releveling, re-rubber rail service, and full home-to-home moves are all part of our standard pool table services in Lansdale and the broader Delaware Valley.
Accessories Lansdale Buyers Add Most
- Cues – house cues from our cue wall, and individual cue cases
- Cue racks – wall-mounted or floor-standing
- Ball racks – wood, metal, or magnetic styles
- Billiard lighting – rectangular pendants and three-shade fixtures (a dedicated billiard light is strongly recommended; standard ceiling fixtures throw shadows across the table)
- Chalk, tip tools, and cleaners

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see pool tables in Lansdale before buying?
Our Colmar showroom is the closest place to see pool tables in Lansdale on a working floor. We keep multiple brands, sizes, and finishes set up so you can compare them side by side, with sales staff on hand to walk through the differences.
What is the difference between an 8-foot and a 'pro 8' table?
A standard 8-foot table is 44 by 88 inches of playing surface. A pro 8 is 46 by 92 inches, closer to a 9-foot in feel without quite the same room requirement. Most Lansdale buyers choose between the two.
Do you sell pool table dining tops?
Yes. Most of our table lines offer matching dining tops that convert the playing surface into a dining table – a common pick for buyers tight on dedicated game-room space.
Can a slate pool table go in a finished basement?
Yes, with caveats. The floor needs to support concentrated weight (slate alone runs 600 to 800 pounds on an 8-foot table), and the slate sections are carried in separately. Walk-out basements simplify the install.
How long does delivery take after I order?
For tables in stock at our Colmar warehouse, delivery is usually scheduled within the week. For special orders from Olhausen or other manufacturers, lead time depends on the model and finish – we give an honest estimate at the time of order.
