SAM K Steel Mark II Slate Bed Pool Table - 8ft & 9ft

A premium slate bed pool table from the SAM K Steel Mark II collection

The SAM K Steel Mark II Slate Bed Pool Table is a professional‑grade American pool table available in 8 ft and 9 ft sizes, engineered for precision and consistency. It features a solid AP‑11 steel frame concealed within the cabinet that provides structural strength and stability for long‑term use.

The playing surface uses three‑piece, diamond‑honed 25mm slate to support a level and stable bed that promotes even ball roll. Flush‑fitted pockets and professional cushions, bonded with K‑66 Artemis billiard rubber, are designed to deliver predictable rebound response and consistent ball behaviour around the table.

This model was chosen for the World Team Championships in Germany, where it was used in competition play and meets the European Pocket Billiard Federation (EPBF) specifications for tournament‑grade tables.

The table is supplied as standard with American‑style drop pockets, with a ball return system available as an optional extra. A range of cloth and cabinet finishes lets you tailor the table’s look and play characteristics. A basic accessory pack is included to support immediate gameplay.

Delivery to mainland UK addresses and professional installation by a two‑person team are included, with typical delivery times of 21-26 business days due to the table being made to order.
