Moving a pool table is difficult because of its weight, size, and complex structure. Standard residential pool tables weigh between 600 and 1,000 pounds, with slate bed models being the heaviest. Most tables must be taken apart before moving, as trying to force them in one piece can cause damage to both the table and nearby property. Disassembly usually involves removing the rails, felt, and slate slabs, which need careful handling due to their fragility.
How to Safely Move Your Pool Table
For first-time movers, one of the biggest concerns isn’t just packing. It's whether professional movers will handle their furniture with care. The fear of scratches, dents, or broken items during the move often overshadows everything else, whether you're leaving a studio apartment or a multi-bedroom house.
First Time Moving Tips
Many people decide between renting a moving truck or using portable containers when planning a move. Truck rentals provide more control and lower upfront costs but require driving and a strict schedule. Containers allow flexible loading and don’t require you to drive, but they may cost more and need planning ahead for delivery and pickup.
Moving Containers and Rental Trucks
Musical instruments are extremely fragile and require extra attention when transporting. The moving cost is often higher than for regular household items, but the cost of repairs can be even higher.
