Slate or not slate
This is the big one. A wood pool table weighs about 180 to 600 pounds; a slate table 500 to 2,500 pounds (HomeGuide). Slate tables cost more to move, and some come with a three-piece slate bed that makes the job easier. Not sure which you have? Pick "Not sure" on the form and send a photo.
Taking it apart, and putting it back level
Moving a pool table usually means taking it apart first: pockets, rails, felt, slate and legs (HomeGuide). Most movers include taking it apart, putting it back together and leveling it in their price, but some charge $100 to $250 extra for that, so ask. A table with a ball return takes longer than one with drop pockets. On average the whole job takes 4 to 6 hours.
