If you’re in the market for a billiard table with Old World European influences and exuding elegance, yet without taking up as much space in your home as a full-size snooker table, the superb Grand Duke Traditional Pool Table offers tournament-quality superior playability and is our top pick. This six-legged table offers a vintage look reminiscent of early billiard styles. Available in 9-foot and 8-foot lengths as standard or 7-foot on special order, the Grand Duke features a traditionally-constructed frame crafted from the finest hand-selected hardwood timber, with mortise and tenon joins throughout. Its elaborate scrollwork is coupled with matching cover plates and decorative frame panel work. The 9-foot table is ideal for those who enjoy playing both pool and snooker, while the 8-foot table is the most popular for typical Australian homes. Built using the highest-quality components, you can expect the Grand Duke to last a lifetime.
Bring championship-standard play into your home
The Grand Duke’s 10-inch turned and hand-fluted legs are finished off with a sliding cover flange to hide the deluxe adjustable foot. Other leading features include flush-mounted pocket rails and steel-backed cushion rails, a feature of World Championship tables – delivering the most consistent bounce – but which only a few tables on the market can boast. The rails are directly bolted to the precision-milled five-piece slate, which is 1¾ inches thick, with accurate levelling easily achieved using an Allen key. All this is coupled with top-grade English cloth, English red gum rubber and competition-standard invisible brackets to ensure the most precise play. The cloth is in fact genuine Strachan Stroud 6811™, which is used on all professional tournament snooker tables across the globe including the annual World Championships. Made from 100% pure new wool, highly durable and treated with SpillGuard™ for stain protection, it provides a world-class playing surface characterised by unsurpassed speed and ball control delivered through its crisp, highly-engineered directional nap. Take your game to the highest level with the Grand Duke Traditional Pool Table and create a stunning centrepiece worthy of admiration in your home.

Do you want your table to perform better and last through the years, even for generations?
While other tables that you may view online look similar, beware that they are not the same, they use cheap-grade materials and 2nd-rate factory construction techniques. Don’t waste your money. Investigate. Buy the real thing —
Whenever feasible, Billiard Shop prefers to utilize trained professionals for the delivery and installation of their tables. Since every home is unique, we will assess your individual circumstances and offer a precise quote for the best possible delivery solution.
Beware that lower-grade tables often look similar, especially online, and those tables use MDF, Chipboard and other low-grade frame materials, also, the rubber and cloth are very important for an optimal game, especially over time. Billiard Shop only uses solid wood, aluminium or steel framing with high-grade slate, rubber cushions and professional billiard cloth, plus, our high-standard construction techniques make for a much longer lasting and better ‘bounce’ in the frame, and therefore, a better game is maintained for decades to come.
