What Is the Difference between a One Piece Slate Table and a Three Piece Slate Table?
A one-piece billiard slate table works fine on small bar tables, but presents a problem when used on bigger tables. This is why tournament players prefer three-piece slate tables to one-piece tables. Three separate pieces of billiard slate allows for more accurate leveling, easier handling, and less breakage. Three-piece billiard slate also has its advantage when you consider that neither the table nor the floor is absolutely level. A one-piece slate table is also more difficult and dangerous to move up stairs or down stairs because of its weight.
