Good or bad idea? (pool table in small room)

Asked by Esedess (3467points) January 12th, 2012

I’ve wanted a pool table of my own FOREVER! I finally have an extra room (roughly 12×14), but I don’t think it will work for the playing space required (at least not on 1 of the 4 corners, and not comfortably).

HOWEVER, because this room is a master bedroom with a sink area, the room is not perfectly rectangular. Think of an “L”, where the ” _ ” is the 12×14 area, and the ” I ” is where the room opens up to a 7×8 area.

I ~could~ ~potentially~ put the whole thing on a lazy-susan with a locking mechanism. Then, if a shot came up where there’s not enough space to shoot, the whole table could be carefully rotated, as not to disturb the balls, to where the cue behind you is extending into the open 7×8 area.

Would it work, or does this just have “bad idea” written all over it?
