16x20 room for 9 ft table?

Yeah you'll have tons of room for the table. Plenty of room in the corners for chairs or tables too. You may even want to consider offsetting the table a foot towards a corner by a foot on each side which will leave lots of room for just about anything you want on the other walls. You'll still have plenty of clearance on all sides.
However if you don't really have anything to put in there then just leaving it dead center in the room will make every side very roomy and you won't feel closed in at all. I wish I had a room that big

I think you will have room for some bar stools and tables. I think a 14x18 room for a 9-foot table is not comfortable.
16 X 20 Room...
I've never understood the directive that a 14X18 room is adequate for a 9' table...??
Look at it logically this way...the playing surface is 50" wide...add 4" for each side cushion & rail...that's 58". Subtract that from 14' (168") and it leaves you 110" or 55" on each side of the table. A standard cue today is 58"...so, with the cue ball frozen on the cushion and the object ball directly across from it, you DO NOT have enough clearance for bridging and shooting off of the rail...it's just not feasible...!!!
Frankly, I think 16X20 is about the minimum size for your room, so it should work out nicely for you.

hello, 15x20 may seem like a ton of room for a 9 footer but you have to remember your stance!! some people have a very wide stance so there feet might end up hitting your walls or any cabinets you might have put in!! Also if you put in some built in cabinets or tables, be careful of putting stuff on top that might get in the way of the butt of your cue, like a stereo for example, anything at rail height might get knocked over on the rare shots that are on the rails!
You should be good!!!!!

My main playing area is 17 x 20. I have a 9 foot diamond. The only area that I have ever had a problem is playing one pocket and having the ball frozen to the short rail. If you take a full backswing, the cue just barely bumps into the wall at the furthest end point of the backswing. I mean just barely. It almost never comes into play.
The following is cited directly from Brunswick's website for minimum room dimensions for the standard pool table sizes. For a ten (10) ft. table, just add one foot to the length and 1/2 foot to the width and that covers the added space difference.
Room size: 14' x 18' Nine foot table: 4.5' x 9' (Playing area: 50" x 100")
Room size: 12' 6" x 16' 6" Seven foot table: 3.5 x 7' (Playing area: 38" x 76")
Room size: 13' x 17 Eight foot table: 4' x 8' (Playing area: 44" x 88")
Room size: 13' 6" x 17' 6" Oversize eight ft. table (Playing area: 46" x 92")
Nonetheless, if you ask a Brunswick dealer, they'll tell you that 14.5' is the absolute bare minimum and 15' width is preferred and length should be 19' bare minimum and 20' is preferred.

The width of the rails means very little....
...it's the distance from the inside of the rails to the wall that counts.
Those charts are usually wrong. You have to do the math yourself and understand it in order to make an informed decision. This is one case where I would not trust any info on the net, even from a table manufacturer.
My room is 20 ft long and I bump the wall when the ball is on he short rail
17' x 21' minimum for me (9-Footer).
Ridonculus information that needs to be stricken from the universe.
