A miniature pool table would be considered a toy, not a pool table. Depending upon the size, it could be made of plastic or wood. To choose a size, determine what size you can purchase the balls needed for the table. A lathe will be needed to make the pool cues. The rest of the table can easily be constructed of wood or plastic, and covered in cheap fabric store felt. There are plans available online for pool table construction. These can be used and scaled down to match the size of the pool balls that have been selected. The scale will be determined by using the same ratio for ball size to rail height and pocket openings as is used on the full size table.

I actually went through this when I was buying my own pool table, and I can tell you it’s not as simple as just picking the first one you like. A few things made a big difference for me: First, I looked at the space I had at home. It’s not just about the size of the pool table itself, but also leaving enough room around it for proper cue movement. I almost bought one that was too big, and I’m glad I measured first. Second, the quality of the slate is crucial. A good slate surface provides a smooth, professional playing feel. I tested a few tables, and the cheaper ones felt uneven pretty quickly. Third, I paid attention to the frame and cushions. A solid hardwood frame is sturdier, and good cushions make the bounce more consistent. Lastly, I thought about whether I wanted it just for fun with friends or something closer to a professional setup. That helped me balance budget vs. quality. So yeah, choosing the right pool table comes down to space, quality, and how seriously you want to play. For me, spending a bit extra on a good-quality one was totally worth it.
I do not own a pool table.
