Pool Table Furniture - Complete Your Game Room With Stylish Accessories
If you want to accessorize your pool table, consider completing your game room with pool table furniture.
Our game room contains a billiards table and air hockey table, as well as an old-fashioned pinball machine.
But when our friends came over, they'd have to stand and watch the games. That bugged me. I wanted our friends to come over and be comfortable, not have to lean against the walls!
You Can Shop for Pool Table Furniture Online
So I did a little research online.
Wow! There is a wide variety of pool table furniture available online, and since most people don't have a local billiards shop nearby, many of the online pool table retailers offer low or even free shipping.
What did I find for pool table furniture?
There are pub tables with luxurious spectator chairs, benches covered in leather, corner tables and half tables that mount onto the wall, poker-top pub tables, dart boards, pool cue racks and more!
The spectator chairs were particularly interesting because they were tall, like bar chairs, which allows guests to watch the games without having to strain to see. Many of them were covered in quality leather and included storage drawers under the seats to store poker winnings or other items. The spectator chairs even had footrests. These elegant leather seated chairs range in price from $189 to $349.
Another pool table furniture possibility was stools that could sit around a pub table, in case you didn't want to spend as much for the chairs. Stools come in a variety of styles, from simple black leather-topped stools to those that had your choice of team logos on top. Stools range in price from $119 to as much as $309.
The spectator benches were a nice surprise, since they offered a handsome leather top with lid that raised to reveal storage for pool cues, balls and other game pieces. The bench even had unique shelves on the sides, to rest drinks and pool cues while waiting your turn.
What Pool Table Furniture Did We Choose, and Why?
We opted for a stand-alone pub table and chairs combination, and a second half-moon pub table set that we could mount to the wall. These two sets included 2 chairs each, giving us 4 total chairs for guests.
We also sprang for one of the leather-topped benches. I particularly liked that the bench came with additional storage. The bench provided seating for 3 additional guests.
One other piece that we decided we need to complete our game room was a pool cue rack. We chose one that mounted to the wall, clearing up more floor space. (When you have little kids over, it helps to have as much off the floor as possible to avoid any accidents!)
I really liked that we could add quite a bit of seating with this pool table furniture and make the room look more like a pub. The room is in our basement, and the lighting is a little darker anyway, so it just made sense to go with a "pub-like" ambiance.
We spent a little more than maybe most would - about $2000 all told, but I am thrilled with how our game room looks.
I am especially thrilled with the fact that guests can come over and relax. I notice that friends are coming over more often now!
Tips and Suggestions for Finding a Good Deal
The first thing I would do is simply examine your space. How much room do you have? Is there room for a whole pub table, or do you just have space for a couple of chairs and maybe a half-moon table? Would a bench be better use of your space?
Shop online. You can get a good idea of what's available simply by looking at pictures and reading reviews.
Many online retailers are offering discount prices and free shipping on pool table furniture. After you find what you want, call them. See if they're offering any special discounts. You can even ask them over the phone, "Is this the best you can do?" Often the salesperson can offer an additional discount if you ask.
Check for clearance items. You can find significant savings with clearance, and online retailers will also list clearance prices on the internet.
