how big is a snooker table

A full-size snooker table is about 12 feet long by 6 feet wide, with a playing area slightly smaller than that overall footprint. Most professional tables you see on TV use this standard size.

Standard table size

  • The official full-size snooker table has a playing surface of roughly 12 ft × 6 ft (about 3.66 m × 1.83 m).
  • Including the cushions and frame, the overall outer size is a bit larger, around 12 ft 8.5 in × 6 ft 8.5 in.

Height and room space

  • The table height from floor to top of the cushion is around 2 ft 9.5 in to 2 ft 10.5 in.
  • For comfortable cueing, a full-size table usually needs a room of about 22 ft × 16 ft or more.

Smaller snooker tables

  • For homes and smaller clubs, common reduced sizes include 10 ft, 9 ft, 8 ft, and even 6 ft versions, all keeping the same proportions as the full-size table.
  • These smaller tables are often recommended for beginners or where space is limited, while still giving a similar playing feel.
