Snooker Table Prices in Malaysia (2026)

Prices vary widely based on table size, slate quality, cushion type, and brand prestige. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect to pay in 2026.

New Snooker Table Prices

Used Snooker Table Prices

Used snooker tables typically sell for RM6,000 to RM15,000 in Malaysia. The final price depends on the brand, age, slate condition, and whether the cloth needs replacing. A well-maintained CM1 or Wiraka table under five years old may fetch RM10,000 to RM15,000. Older tables from unknown brands can go as low as RM6,000.

If you buy used, budget an extra RM1,500 to RM3,000 for re-clothing and possible cushion work. Always inspect the slate for cracks or warping before committing.

Best Snooker Table Brands in Malaysia

Five brands dominate the Malaysian market. Each targets a different segment, from budget home use to professional tournament play.

What to Check Before Buying a Snooker Table

A snooker table is not something you can easily return. Before you commit, check these four critical components carefully.

Slate Quality

The slate is the playing surface beneath the cloth. It should be made of natural slate, not MDF or particle board. Thickness matters: budget tables use 25mm slate, while professional tables use 45-50mm slate. Thicker slate means better ball roll and longer durability. A full-size 12ft table typically uses three pieces of slate that must be perfectly levelled during installation.

Cushion Type

There are two main types of cushion mounting. Wood block cushions are standard on budget and mid-range tables. Steel block cushions are used on professional and tournament-grade tables. Steel block cushions provide a more consistent and responsive bounce. If you are serious about your game, choose steel block cushions. Many halls in Malaysia, including Sheffield Snooker in KK and Barco Snooker in Sibu, use steel block tables.

Cloth

The cloth affects speed, spin, and overall playing feel. Two premium brands dominate: Strachan and Hainsworth. Strachan 6811 is the World Snooker Tour standard. Hainsworth Precision and Match are popular in Malaysian clubs like OneCue Snooker JB. Budget tables often come with generic cloth that wears quickly. You can always upgrade later, but factor in the re-cloth cost (RM2,000 to RM3,500+).

Frame Material

The frame supports the slate and determines the table's overall stability. Solid hardwood frames are best. Avoid tables with MDF or chipboard frames, especially in Malaysia's humid climate. Humidity causes MDF to swell and warp over time. Read our maintenance guide for more on protecting your table from tropical moisture.

Delivery and Installation

A snooker table cannot simply be dropped off at your door. Professional installation is essential. Here is what to expect.

Delivery and installation costs approximately RM959 for West Malaysia and RM965 for East Malaysia. This typically includes transport, assembly, slate levelling, and cloth fitting. The process takes 3-5 hours depending on the table size and access to the room.

Before ordering, make sure your room meets the minimum size requirements. A full-size 12ft table needs a room at least 6.5m x 4.7m. Also check that the delivery route can accommodate the slate pieces, which are heavy and cannot be bent. Narrow stairways and tight corners can make installation difficult or impossible.

Floor Requirements

A 12ft snooker table weighs approximately 1,250 kg. Malaysian homes with concrete floors can handle up to 1,000 kg per square metre, which is more than enough because the weight is distributed across the legs. Timber floors on upper levels may need reinforcement. Always check with your contractor if you plan to install a table on a raised floor.

New vs Used: Which Should You Buy?

Choosing between new and used comes down to budget and how much effort you want to spend on restoration.

If you buy used, always check the slate for cracks. Press the cushions to test if the rubber is still responsive. Look under the table for signs of water damage or termite activity. Bring a spirit level to check if the surface is flat.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Visit a showroom — Touch the cloth, test the cushion bounce, and see the build quality. Cue Station and PPS both have showrooms.
• Measure your room first — Use our table size guide to confirm you have enough cue clearance.
• Budget for accessories — You will also need a cue, balls, triangle, brush, and cover. See the full checklist in our equipment guide.
• Plan for maintenance — Malaysian humidity degrades cloth and cushions faster than in temperate climates. A dehumidifier is essential. Read our maintenance guide.
• Confirm total cost — Ask for the all-in price including delivery, installation, cloth, balls, and accessories.
