What Happens to Your Pool Table After We Take It?
At 123JUNK, we’re committed to being eco-friendly. After we take your pool table, we follow a simple 1-2-3 process for responsible disposal.
- Donate: If your pool table is still in good shape, we’ll donate it to local charities or organizations. We give your pool table a second life, help the Alexandria community, and reduce waste.
- Recycle: For tables that aren’t donation-worthy, we move to the recycling stage. Many pool table components like metal, wood, and slate can be broken down and recycled. Our team breaks down these materials to ensure they are properly processed at local recycling centers.
- Dispose: As a last resort, we dispose of any non-recyclable materials. We work with licensed facilities that follow environmentally responsible disposal methods to minimize landfill waste.
What Makes a Pool Table So Heavy?
Pool tables are heavy, really heavy. Several hundred to over a thousand pounds heavy. But what makes them so heavy? Let’s dissect the parts that make up the beast.
1. Slate Bed
The slate bed is the foundation of most high-end pool tables and is one of the main reasons for their weight. Slate is a hard, dense rock that provides the smooth, flat surface needed for accurate play. Most tables use one piece of slate or multiple slabs that can weigh anywhere from 200 to 800 pounds, depending on the size and thickness of the table.
2. Wooden Frame
The frame of the pool table, made from hardwoods like oak, mahogany, or maple, supports the slate and provides the structure. Hardwood is chosen not only for looks but also for its ability to withstand the weight of the table. This adds a bunch of weight; the wooden frame alone can weigh several hundred pounds.
3. Cushions and Rails
The cushions and rails that surround the playing surface may not seem like heavy parts, but are made from dense rubber and wood to provide consistent ball rebound. The thick rubber cushions and solid wood rail system add more weight to the table and ensure precise play.
4. Legs and Support Beams
Pool tables need strong support to hold up the slate bed and frame. The legs and support beams are usually made from wood or metal and add more weight to the table. These parts are critical to keeping the table level and stable even with a heavy slate bed.
5. Felt Cover
This is not heavy at all, but an important part of the table’s anatomy. The felt or cloth cover is made from wool or a wool-nylon blend and provides a smooth surface for the balls to roll on. It does not have much weight, but quality can affect play speed and precision.
