Building off the prior thread, how big of a room do you really need to fit a 9 foot table comfortably? Is 15 x 20 sufficient? More? It seems clear that Diamond, Brunswick, and Olhausen's charts are full of it: http://www.diamondbilliards.com/index.php/about/pool-room-dimensions http://www.brunswickbilliards.com/helpful_information/room_size_requirements.html http://www.olhausenbilliards.com/ROOM+CHART/id/40/ Edit: Here's a synopsis of the responses: Absolute minimum: 13'10" x 18", but you won't be able to take a full stroke off a ball frozen to the rail Full stroke minimum: Approx. 14'10" x 19". This gives you a six inch backswing on a ball frozen to the rail. Comfortable minimum: Approx 15" x 20" or greater. You won't have to worry about hitting the wall with a standard cue. If you want to include chairs or any of the comforts of home, increase the dimensions accordingly.
