We live in a world dominated by technology and digitization, where online shopping has become a convenient option for everything from electronics to clothing. However, when it comes to purchasing a pool game table, the benefits of visiting a showroom in person greatly outweigh those of online shopping. At A&C Billiards in the City of Industry, we believe that physically experiencing a pool table before making a purchase leads to more informed decisions, a more enjoyable playing experience, and greater overall satisfaction. In this blog, we will explore why visiting showrooms in person is the best choice for your pool table purchase.
The importance of seeing and testing furniture in person
For gaming enthusiasts or common players, a pool table is not just a piece of expensive furniture – it is an investment in craftsmanship, style, and entertainment. Seeing a table in person allows you to evaluate essential factors that descriptions, photos, and even 3dimesion views simply cannot convey:
- Quality of Materials: Online images can be deceiving. When you physically visit a showroom, you can inspect the quality of wood, rails, and felt and ensure durability and superior craftsmanship.
- Size and proportions: Pool tables come in various sizes, and it will be difficult to gauge how they will fit in the space you have secured unless you visit them in person.
- Playing surface feel: Testing the pool game table by rolling a cue ball allows you to assess the smoothness of the surface and how well the table plays, which is next to impossible to do online.
- Build and stability: in-person purchase lets you physically move and touch the table to assure its sturdiness, an aspect that is hard to judge from the webpage description.
Common issues with pool table purchases
When online shopping can be seen as convenient, it usually comes with risks, particularly for high-ticket items such as game room furniture. Some common pitfalls a common buyer can face during online purchases are mentioned below:
- Misleading product description: The majority of online retailers utilize stock images that do not properly represent the product. The quality and details can differ significantly upon arrival.
- Difficult assembly: Pool tables need expert assembly, and during the online purchase, consumers can struggle with improper installation or missing the parts.
- Shipping damages: Pool tables are fragile and heavy. They can appear damaged without perfect management, leading to frustrating returns and repair costs.
- No testing before purchase: Without proper testing, you cannot understand if the table meets your playing standards until it is delivered, making returns or exchanges a hassle.
- Lack of personalized advice: Online retailers rarely offer expert guidance, leading buyers to select a table that cannot suit their needs or playing level.
