Disappearing pool table buyer's Guide

Convertible pool table: how to choose the best model?

Buying a convertible pool table is a great way to have a versatile and functional piece of furniture in your home. Transformable pool tables can be used as dining tables, work tables or even as simple study tables or meeting tables in companies and offices. A disappearing pool table is a great investment for your home. Before you decide which convertible pool table to buy, there are several factors that you need to consider, such as: 

• the size of the table in relation to the space available in your home or office. Disappearing pool tables can have different sizes. The size of the playing field can be, for example, 220 x 110 cm or 254 x 127 cm (therefore with external dimensions, respectively, of 258 x 148 or 292 x 165 cm), but there are also pool tables with customized dimensions. To meet the needs of each customer, Biliardi Cavicchi is also able to make dining conversion billiards of special sizes, built to measure according to specific needs; 
• the materials with which the pool table is made: this is a very important aspect because it directly affects the performance of the game, the strength and durability of the pool table. Billiard tables with a metal or wooden structure are generally more resistant. Even the playing field must be made with high quality materials to allow a good level of play: the game field of Cavicchi pool tables Cavicchi are made with slate rectified and strictly made in Italy; 
• the style and design of the billiard-table, which will have to fit harmoniously into the environment in which it will be placed. Make no mistake, always keep in mind the style and colors of the environment and the decor of your home or office: wooden billiards with elegant and refined lines are well suited to the most classic or retro environments; billiards with an essential and modern design are perfect, instead, to furnish rooms with a minimal and contemporary style; 
• the level of play, professional or amateur, which will determine the choice of the model that best suits your needs. Biliardi Cavicchi offers both transformable billiard tables of the Exclusive and Superior lines, the highest expression of craftsmanship and design made in Italy, both lines of starter line billiard tables, from the simplest lines but always of high quality and with a good functional balance; 
• the possibilities of customization of the transformable pool table, both in terms of the size, the materials used and the colors of the structure and the playing cloth; 
• the price, which can also vary greatly depending on the size, construction material, design and functionality offered by the pool table. 

How best to use a convertible pool table? 

Transformable pool tables are ideal for any environment, both indoor and outdoor, and can be used as gaming tables, dining tables or even as study or work tables. They are therefore very versatile and can be processed as needed. To optimize the space and make the most of a pool table, make sure that the surface on which you would like to place it is flat, so that the table is stable and always remains firmly stationary, and that you can move around without difficulty during the game. Before placing the table inside a room, also carefully evaluate the degree and type of lighting. In general, it is better to place it near natural light sources, so that it is well lit during the day. In order to play in the evening, you’ll need to place light points and lamps so that the light is well diffused inside the room, without creating shadows on the pool table, which could annoy players and make the game difficult.
