California House Cypress Pool Table

The standard 8' table features a 44" x 88" playing surface, while the Pro 8' table offers a slightly larger 46" x 92" playing area. The Pro 8' is often preferred by serious players who want a surface closer to the regulation 9' tournament size without needing the extra floor space.

The semi-exposed pocket design is primarily an aesthetic choice that gives the table a modern, architectural look. It does not negatively impact ball return or playability; the pockets are lined with high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather to ensure a secure catch and a satisfying sound.

Yes, the table uses a 1-inch thick, diamond-honed, and backed 3-piece slate. This is the industry standard for high-end residential tables, providing a perfectly flat and consistent playing surface that resists warping over time.

The Cypress is built with a 100% solid, kiln-dried hardwood frame and base. Kiln-drying removes excess moisture from the wood, which prevents the frame from warping, cracking, or shifting as the humidity in your home changes.

Yes, California House offers virtually unlimited finish options for the hardwood components. Because each table is made to order in the USA, you can coordinate the wood stain or paint finish with your specific interior design palette.

While aesthetic preference is key, keep in mind that lighter cloth colors may show chalk marks and debris more visibly than darker, traditional shades like tournament green or navy. If you plan on heavy, daily use, a darker or medium-toned cloth is generally easier to maintain.
