I have one with all the hardware that is already taken apart that is for sale for $300.00 You would have to have somebody put it together. Located in Temecula. Will post pictures tonight.

up until about 3 months ago, my family had a full size table in our house since I was 11. Ours was a 3 pc 1' slate deal. The few times we moved it I was glad it was 3pc. It does take some extra time to level and fill the seams on the 3pc, but way more user friendly. If you have the room for a full size I highly recommend it. It makes you that much better when you do end up playing on a 4x8 table!

So the full size or regulation size is 9X5 correct? That wont fit into the garage but I do want the 8x4 table. Think that one is the most common.
Not a fan of the small bar size tables.

9'x 4 1/2' is a tournament table. Pool halls normally have 4x8 and bars and stuff have coin operated ones 4x8, sometimes you will find smaller ones than 4x8 but they are normally plywood shit tables.

Also, try and avoid a table that has "super bumpers". Some mfg's are now making tables with some special bumpers that really bounce the ball off and it requires you to play a totally different way. Most tables you play on outside of home will have "dead" bumpers so it's best to play on something similar on a regular basis.

Lastly, try to get a table that uses real felt. I have played on some tables where it's covered in a synthetic type of cloth and it plays really fast. Putting english on the cue ball is very hard on this type of table too. You need the teeth of the felt for the ball to "grab".
