Yes. However - The quality of play is very much impacted by the quality of the table and its cloth. Pool table cloth selection is definitely "you get what you pay for". If you install any cloth other than that designed for a pool table, the action of the balls on the table will not be the same, the felt will most likelt not last very long, and in general, you will be very disappointed.
Unless you are covering the table and rails yourself rather than having a professional do it, you don't have many options to use cheap fabrics as no professional will install it for you.
