What maintenance is needed for an English Pool table?
With reasonable care, a pool table will last for many years. The slate is a natural mineral, mined from the Earth, is hugely heavy and dense and will last forever. Except for cosmetic bumps and scratches, there is little maintenance required to the table frame and table top in general. The cloth will need replacement every couple of years, dependant on how much it is used and how dirty and soiled it becomes. The rubber fitted to all cushions will deteriorate about every 10-15 years and will need to be replaced.
