Gatley Classic Pool Dining Table

Gatley Classic Pool Dining Table

The Classic pool dining table is a dual purpose UK manufactured full-size table. This stylish model is a professional pool table that easily converts into a good looking dining table. It includes free delivery and game accessories. We can also offer expert assembly that comes with a free bonus accessory pack.

The table is produced in two sizes and made to UK pool specifications. Choose from either the 6ft x 3’6 or the 7ft x 4ft models. The Classic is also available in a range of laminated cabinet finishes and a vast range of cloth colours to perfectly suit your décor. It comes complete with a top-quality slate bed playing surface, high-grade pool cloth and cushion rubber that provides excellent ball response and control. The pockets are professional quality and designed for the full-size 2-inch pool ball.

The Classic pool diner has a unique designed ball drawer. The balls all return internally to a table drawer that can be folded up inside the cabinet when not being used for pool. It makes an ideal storage area to keep balls when not in use. The drawer is very reliable and slides up inside the cabinet to complete the perfect modern dining table look.

As a dining table, the Classic is one of our best choices. It combines a shallow cabinet with four matching hardwood tapered legs. The depth of the cabinet is only 5 inches deep. It allows a 61cm gap between the floor and the bottom of the cabinet. This provides room for at least 6 to 8 people (depending on table size) to comfortably sit with ample legroom.

The Classic Diner is a firm favourite with both our staff and customers. It will provide years of great pool and family fun without the need for a separate games room.

The Classic Pool Table Specifications

Pool Table Warranty

Our range of Gatley pool tables come as standard with a 12-month manufacturers guarantee. The guarantee covers all manufactured parts but does not include the table cloth, which is subject to wear and tear. Once your table is set up and running, there is actually little that can go wrong, and with basic care, it will provide many years of superb pool. Unlike many imported tables, all parts on this model are interchangeable meaning should something go wrong it can be quickly fixed.

This pool table comes fitted with high-quality cloth in a standard range of 7 colours. The baize provided on this model is Strachan woollen pool cloth. Strachan ‘West of England’ cloth has been produced in Gloucester since 1890 and is renowned throughout the world as being one of the finest cloths on the market.

Strachan cloth has been used in the World Snooker finals at the Crucible in Sheffield for the last 30 years. It is the cloth of choice in many professional pool and snooker events worldwide.

Speed Cloth

Woollen pool cloth like the range listed above is the traditional cloth used in the UK. It is found on the majority of pool tables throughout the club and pub industry. However, we can also offer a range of speed cloth options for your table. Speed cloth is generally found on the larger American style tables and is a napless cloth that is very fast due to the extra nylon content. This type of baize offers a quicker game but with less cue ball control.

Speed cloth is the current choice of cloth used on the IPA 8 ball pool tour. The cloth used on in these events in the Simonis 861 Powder blue cloth. As the UK’s primary importer of Simonis cloth, we are pleased to be able to offer this tour cloth with your table if required. You can view an image of this cloth in our main image gallery. We can also offer a large range of other colours in speed cloth so please just let us know if you require this type of cloth.

Is My Room Big Enough?

It is essential to ensure your table will fit into your room space and allow an enjoyable game. A good rule of thumb is to allow a minimum of 4ft clearance all around your table.

We offer two table sizes in this model. We can provide the more popular 7ft x4ft (external cabinet dimensions) model or if you are more restricted on space the 6ft x 3’6 (external cabinet dimensions) table. Please see our below table guide for recommended room sizes.

Recommended Room Space Guide

It is often beneficial to mark out the area where your table is going with four objects to give you a better perspective of the table size. If you are a little short on space, then we can offer a range of smaller cues to use on the tighter shots. We have the following size cues available - 36 inches, 42 inches, 48 inches, 54 inches and 57 inches.

Both the 6ft and 7ft tables are classed as league tables although most leagues prefer to play on a 7ft table if space permits. Both size tables provide an enjoyable game. We wouldn’t recommend squeezing a 7ft table into an area that is too small. It may be helpful to draw a plan of the room and measure it at the nearest points to where your table is intended to stand. Do not measure into bay windows or to the recesses of a fireplace. All large furniture should be outside the measurements.

Finally, if your table has to go upstairs, we will require photos or preferably a video to ensure access is possible. We rarely have a failed install, but if there are any impossible turns or inadequate access, then we can review this and try to offer alternative options for you.

When Will I Get My Table.

Our pool tables are delivered throughout the UK by our own two-man professional fitting teams. This gives us excellent flexibility in delivery and timings.

We can sometimes surprise and deliver a little quicker if we have stock or can get the table sooner from the manufacturers. We are located close to all the leading manufacturers, which allow us to collect your table the moment it comes off the production line. Many of our competitors are located further afield and will wait for several tables to be ready before making their collection. So for speedy delivery, we have the edge.

Two options are available when it comes to delivery.

Delivery Only

We will deliver your pool table door to door, and to the ground floor room of your choice, free of charge. Tables are delivered by a two-man delivery team and usually come in 3 parts. The legs, slate and cabinet are all separate and do require assembling and levelling. Please bear in mind however that most slate bed pool tables weigh 200kg+ and you would need adequate numbers of people to handle the table safely. Installation would be at your own risk.

Delivery with Installation

We do, however, strongly recommend that you take up the offer of our professional delivery and installation service at the extra cost of £99 Inc. VAT, which includes full installation, table positioning, levelling, after-sales care instruction, and a bonus pack of additional accessories that are worth up to £90. Slate bed pool tables can weigh up to 250 kgs (550lbs) and moving and handling them takes knowledge and expertise. Our two-person team of professional fitters can take away the strain, worry and hard work and leave your table perfect and ready to play.

Basement and Upper floor delivery and installations incur a surcharge. Delivery to more remote areas of the country including Cornwall and the North of Scotland are subject to a delivery surcharge. Please contact us for more details.

Free Delivery - Important

Free delivery is to UK mainland only. An additional surcharge will apply for the postcodes beginning with the following letters. Please contact us for cost before ordering – AB, DD, FK, IV, KW, PA, PH, PL, EX, TR.   Delivery to more remote locations of the country may result in extended delivery lead-times. Please check before ordering.
