SAM Balmoral Champion Slate Bed Pool Table - 6ft & 7ft

The SAM Balmoral Champion Slate Bed Pool Table delivers professional-grade performance

The SAM Balmoral Champion Slate Bed Pool Table is a tournament-standard English pool table available in 6 ft and 7 ft sizes. It features a diamond-honed, one-piece slate bed for a level and consistent playing surface. The table uses SAM’s ProActive cushion system, which has been used in professional pool finals; the profiled cushions are fitted into a precision-engineered aluminium top frame to provide reliable and consistent rebound response across the table.

The cabinet is constructed from durable plywood with real wood veneer and classic turned wood-style legs, offering both robustness and a traditional aesthetic. An internal ball-return system with carpeted runs returns potted balls to the baulk-end exit box while helping reduce noise compared with non-carpeted systems.

The table comes with a choice of cloth types and colours, pocket finishes, and size options, and includes a set of essential accessories to get started. Delivery to mainland UK addresses and professional installation by a two-person team are included, with estimated delivery typically around 21-26 business days due to the table being made to order.

Plywood construction offers SAM tables great strength and durability without added weight. It is less vulnerable to damp conditions, simpler to repair when damaged, and features sturdier joints and fixings compared to typical MDF.

Tournament-quality Slate Bed

SAM slate bed pool tables features a single-piece, precision-machined slate bed approximately 20mm thick. This one-piece construction ensures a perfectly level playing surface and supports professional-grade play.

Proactive Cushion System

SAM pool tables use a fully aluminium-extruded top frame with all components bolted metal-to-metal for strength and precision. The ProActive cushion system is engineered for consistent, accurate ball response, with cushions profiled to fit the frame and secured by full-length plates. This design ensures perfect cushion height, eliminates the need for unsightly metal strips, and allows the frame and slate to be levelled as a single unit. The result is a playing experience comparable to top-tier steel block snooker tables, offering unmatched performance for serious 8-ball and 9-ball players.

Cushioned Ball Return

This SAM pool table boasts carpeted internal ball runs, resulting in decreased noise levels as the ball heads back to the baulk end exit box.

Table and Cabinet Finish

On the majority of SAM pool tables you can customise your table with a wide range of available finishes to suit your space and style. There are options included as standard, or for an upgrade, you can choose from a selection of premium finishes.

Cloth Type

Every table comes with Atlas American Speed cloth included as standard. This high quality cloth features high polyester content and is densely woven with thin threads. Expertly finished for low gloss and great consistency and is resistant to nicks and cuts. On selected tables you can also choose Victoria cloths within the standard price.

On selected tables you can also upgrade to a choice of premium cloths from Hainsworth, one of the world’s leading names in cue sports fabrics. Made in Yorkshire, England, Hainsworth cloths are renowned for their unmatched quality, precision, and durability—trusted by top players and professional table fitters alike.

You can choose between two of their high-quality options: Smart and Elite Pro, each offering a distinct balance of feel, speed, and durability to suit your playing style. Smart – Durable, napped wool cloth ideal for clubs or home use, balancing longevity with good playability. Elite Pro – Fast, smooth worsted cloth designed for precision and speed, perfect for competitive or high-end pool tables.

Cloth Colour

Whether you pick the included Atlas or Victoria cloths or upgrade to Hainsworth Smart or Elite Pro, all types of cloths offer a wide choice of colours to match your taste. Please note, your cloth choice may affect the available colour options, as each type comes in its own range of shades.

SAM Slate bed tables arrive with all the extras you need to start playing immediately including:

• A set of balls
