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.

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.
