I don't think those dimensions allow enough room for a reasonable-length back swing with a fairly level full-sized cue perpendicular to the rails.

Please, no. Those dimensions are total marketing BS, intended to trade people up to a size of table that they probably won't be comfortable with. The MINIMUM size needed is for a 58" cue with a backstroke six inches back from the nose of the cushion. And if Earl shows up, add 8 inches.

Or, you can play with kiddie cues. If that's not irritating, use the chart.

5 feet on each side of the table. This gives you 60" from the edge of the table. More than enough room for a backswing with any cue between 58-62".

Add 10 feet to the table dimensions. Pretty simple.
