Is it worth it to move a pool table?
Yes. It's totally worth it. If you have an awesome pool table, you want to keep that thing in your house. Because of it, you will probably forever be the envy of many a guest. You want to protect it from damage and make sure it stays in tip-top shape for years to come. Just think of the good times and laughs it has witnessed over the years, and there’s no reason it should not continue in the future. And if you're moving, chances are that at least one thing is going to change - either the way your house looks or the way you live in it—so making sure your pool table stays safe during the process is probably something you should do.
Can you move a pool table without professionals?
Yes and no. If this is just a short-distance move and there aren't any stairs involved, sure! But if you're planning on moving long distances (even just across town) or up steep stairs or over obstacles like thresholds, then no: definitely not! A professional moving company will be able to properly secure your pool table so that nothing happens to either it or the people who are transporting it for you.
How much does it cost to move a 3-piece slate pool table?
