HOW TO CHOOSE A BILLIARD TABLE – The Cavicchi Guide

How much does a billiard table cost? The cost can vary exponentially, putting those in search of the perfect billiard table to the test. We have decided to dedicate some attention to the most frequently asked questions, in order to provide clarity and help avoid mistakes.

Buying guide: the key points

  • Research manufacturing companies: Make sure the brand is a real manufacturer, not just a distributor.

  • Brand and history: A market presence spanning decades is synonymous with experience and solidity.

  • Production classification: The categories (e.g. Starter Line, Superior, Exclusive) help to frame the product.

  • Checking the materials: Check the nature of the construction materials (structure, wood, finishes).

  • Project and design: A brand that invests in design and details is synonymous with refinement.

Beware of the pitfalls of commercial importation
Before talking about prices, it is essential to distinguish between high-quality, 100% Made in Italy billiard tables and commercial import productions (Asia, Baltic countries, South America). The latter are not equipped with a true Italian slate playing surface, but often with a slate-like substitute (sandy agglomerate) or, worse, with chipboard or MDF panels.

These solutions may only be suitable for a very limited budget or for children, but they are an unwise purchase for an adult who wants a real billiard table.

Our offering: three production categories

1. Starter Line – Unique solutions within everyone’s reac
The Cavicchi imprinting: unique solutions, inimitable design, quality within everyone’s reach. Even in this category, we keep all our production parameters unaltered: playing surface in honed Italian slate, high-precision metal structures, cushions with FIBIS-certified para rubber. Perfect quality/price balance.

2. Superior – Italian style for a refined design
Billiard tables designed for the most beautiful homes in the world, with meticulous attention to detail. Artisanal and custom creations that express trend, prestige and absolute refinement.

3. Exclusive – The art of elite billiards

Il Piano di Gioco in Ardesia Italiana
All Cavicchi billiard tables are equipped with a slate playing surface sourced from the historic quarries of Liguria, honed to a hundredth of a millimetre using robotic machinery. Only a few leading companies in the world can boast this direct supply.
