How do you know if your pool table is a single slate or 3 piece slate?
If the table is 9 foot, it is 3 piece slate. If it 8 foot, it most likely is, but you can look underneath the table and see the seams. For 7 foot tables, you definitely have to look. If you are unable to look from underneath and really need to know, the rails can be removed as a large 1 piece square on most tables and you can then see the slate. The rails, as a large piece can be easily removed and reinstalled.
