I don’t understand why more domestic pool tables don’t have a removable top that lets it serve as a dining table or other table functions. Sounds easy and obvious.
Because pool tables are fucking heavy and the structure required to support them precludes getting your legs underneath them when sitting in a dining chair. They make great tables if you’re willing to sit sideways and eat.
Otherwise they’re only good for stacking shit on top of, which of course precludes actually playing pool on them.
I have a pool table downstairs. It ostensibly doubles as my kids art table (it has a top and cover). It is currently covered in crap.
We did use it as a dining table when my wife was recovering from surgery and couldn’t really make it upstairs. It was very awkward and uncomfortable, but it worked.

I’m assuming that would be because mostly people with lots of money and room would buy them.
