Pool Tables for Sale in Los Angeles, California

A used pool table in Los Angeles typically runs $500–$2,200 depending on slate thickness and how many owners it's had, but the deciding factor is often garage storage — tables kept in uninsulated Valley garages through repeated 100-degree summers can develop separated slate seams and sun-bleached felt that a coastal listing rarely shows. Buyers moving a table into a Downtown high-rise or a Wilshire Corridor condo should also confirm freight-elevator access and HOA insurance requirements before committing to a purchase.

What buying a used pool table in Los Angeles involves

Housing stock across Los Angeles ranges widely enough that it shapes every part of a used-table purchase before price ever comes up. Single-family homes in the San Fernando Valley, Mar Vista, or the Westside often have a garage or a den with direct driveway access, making delivery straightforward. But a large share of listings come out of dingbat apartment buildings in Koreatown and Hollywood, walk-ups near Larchmont, or elevator condos Downtown and along the Wilshire Corridor, where a table has to be broken down into slate sections, rails, and legs before it can leave the unit. Buyers should assume any table above the ground floor without a service elevator will need professional movers rather than a rental van and a few friends.

Condo and co-op boards in buildings along Wilshire Boulevard, in Marina del Rey, or in newer Downtown high-rises frequently require a certificate of insurance from the moving crew and a scheduled freight-elevator window, sometimes tied to a refundable deposit. Street parking near hillside streets in Silver Lake, Echo Park, and the Hollywood Hills can be narrow and steep enough that a moving truck needs a specific arrival time and a spotter, since double-parking on a blind curve off Mulholland Drive isn't an option.

Climate plays a different role here than in wetter cities. Los Angeles doesn't have the seasonal humidity swings that warp slate in other regions, but uninsulated garages in the Valley and inland neighborhoods routinely hit triple digits in summer, and that repeated heat cycling can dry out felt and pull slate seams apart at the glue line. Tables that spent years in a garage near the 405 or the 5 freeway corridor, rather than in a climate-controlled living room, deserve a closer look before purchase. Dust from Santa Ana wind events can also leave a fine grit embedded in older felt that's easy to miss in listing photos.

What to check before buying a used table

  • Ask whether the slate is one-piece or three-piece, since three-piece slate is easier to move through narrow apartment stairwells and hillside driveways.
  • Check the felt for sun fading, dust staining, or dryness, especially on tables that came out of a garage.
  • Run a level across the table if it's still assembled, and ask when it was last leveled.
  • Confirm the rail cushions haven't hardened from heat exposure, common in tables stored near a garage door or south-facing window.
  • Ask about the building's elevator and insurance requirements, or the home's driveway and stair access, before agreeing to a price.

What it costs by building type

Condition or locationTypical price range
Bar-size table, apartment or walk-up$500–$900
Standard 8-foot slate table, condo or elevator building$900–$1,800
Well-maintained 8-foot or 9-foot table, house with garage$1,200–$2,200
Table needing recover or reslate after garage storage$300–$700

A quote that skips disassembly and elevator or parking logistics tends to fall apart once a building's management office or a steep hillside driveway gets involved; a fair quote accounts for stairs, elevator booking, and the extra time a narrow Los Angeles street or a hillside curb adds to any job.

How to choose

Get the exact address, unit type, and storage history before agreeing to a purchase, and ask directly whether the table has spent time in a garage exposed to heat or direct sun. A table with documented indoor storage and a prior professional move, ideally with photos, is a safer bet than one described only as "barely used" with no service history. If a listing doesn't mention elevator access, stairs, or parking, assume the harder case and get a mover's estimate before finalizing a price.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need movers for a used pool table, or can I rent a truck myself?
Slate sections weigh 150–300 pounds each, and most single-family homes in Los Angeles can accommodate a DIY move if the table is on a ground floor with driveway access, but any unit above the second floor without an elevator should use professional riggers. Condo and co-op buildings along the Wilshire Corridor or in Downtown almost always require a certificate of insurance before granting freight-elevator access.
How much should I expect to pay for a used 8-foot table?
A standard 8-foot slate table in good condition runs $900–$1,800 across most Los Angeles listings, with bar-size tables from apartment sales often going for $500–$900. Add $300–$600 for professional disassembly, transport, and reassembly, more if the table is coming out of a hillside home in Silver Lake or the Hollywood Hills with limited street access.
What should I check before buying a table that's been stored in a garage?
Ask how long the table sat in the garage and whether it faced direct sun or extreme heat, since San Fernando Valley garages regularly exceed 100 degrees in summer and can dry out felt or separate slate seams over a few seasons. Run a level across the table before buying if it's still assembled, and check for a warped seam line down the middle.
Is it worth buying a table that needs new felt or releveling?
If the slate is intact and the frame isn't cracked, a $150–$300 recovering job is usually far cheaper than a new table once delivery costs into a walk-up or condo are factored in. Releveling after any move is standard practice, since older LA houses on hillside lots and slab foundations both tend to settle unevenly over time.
