The question of what length pool table you should get depends entirely on the amount of space you have.
7-foot tables are the most popular in local bars, and we recommend you go for them if you lack the space for a larger table, for example, if you are storing your table in a compact living room, game room, or outdoor space.
If you have more space, an 8-foot table may be right for you, giving you more capacity for mid-range shots. If you play professionally, for example in amateur tournaments and leagues, you might want to consider sticking with a regulation 8ft pool table.
