Room for a table was one of my requirements, too. I have an L shaped living/dining room. The table sits in a section 25' long and most of the table sits in an area of 25' wide open. However about the first 1 1/2 diamonds at the head of the table sits in a 13'11" wide area, too small by most published minimums. Few times will that narrowness come into play but in order to achieve absolute unencumbered practicing on the full wall side, I offset the table by about 2 inches towards the "obstructing" wall, to be sure. I hung my light before the table was installed. The very experienced mechanic told me at time of table installation that I could have just centered the table on 13'11" and virtually never had a shot obstructed. In fact, i have at least 2" clearance on the worst shots on my "practice" side so the mechanic was right. In a year with my GC II, I've had that little section of short-side wall be in the way maybe 5 times, only with CB close to frozen to rail and shooting straight across- and with the table offset like I have it, it's as if I have the table centered in a maybe 13' 7" room in that section of the table. I can't speak for aesthetics or comfortability of movement of people in a room of 14', but 99.99% of the time the narrowness won't come into play even w a full length cue. If you are tall, I'm 6'3", your stance is more likely to be slightly encumbered if you stand with one foot far to the rear of your body.
If you can get only 14' wide room, you will have a good shooting experience the far majority, if not all, of the time; much better than settling for a smaller table, IMO. See my gallery. Good luck.
