All Riley snooker tables are delivered in component parts and assembled in the room in which it is to be used. It is usual to first bolt together the legs and table frame before positioning the completed assembly within the room. The slate bed is sectional and installing and levelling is a skilled job- hence we insist on the use of Riley craftsmen. In fact, the same craftsmen that install your Snooker table will have installed the very table used in the Snooker World Championships – the standards couldn’t be higher.
Once the slate is in place, the cloth is applied to the playing surface. Finally, the cushion rails and cloth are installed with the pockets. It will take at least 4-5 hours to install a full size snooker table, subject to access available.
It takes at least two men to install a sectional slate bed table and at least one of these must be a Riley craftsman. If you prefer, you can mitigate installation costs by providing your own local labour for the manual handling elements of the job – call us and we can discuss the most cost effective solution for you.
