Pool Table Movers in Los Angeles & Orange County
Luna's Moving provides professional pool table moving services throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County and the Inland Empire. We move residential and commercial pool tables, including traditional slate pool tables, billiard tables, one-piece slate tables and heavy coin-operated or bar-style pool tables.
Depending on the table and access at each location, we may be able to move the pool table fully assembled. When disassembly is required, our movers can carefully take apart the table, protect the slate and other components for transportation, and reassemble and level the table at the destination.
Pool tables can weigh several hundred pounds and slate models require especially careful handling. Stairs, narrow doorways, tight turns, table size and the type of slate all affect how a pool table should be moved. Our team evaluates each move individually so we can determine the safest and most practical method before moving the table.
Professional Pool Table Moving Services
When a pool table cannot be safely moved in one piece, it must be carefully disassembled before transportation. Our pool table movers can handle the disassembly process, including removing the pockets, rails, felt and slate when required. Each component is carefully prepared and protected before being loaded for transport.
Slate pool tables require extra care because the slate is extremely heavy but can also crack or chip if handled improperly. Depending on the table, it may contain one large piece of slate or multiple sections. We carefully remove and protect each piece, transport the table to its new location, and can reassemble and level the pool table at the destination.
Can a pool table be moved without taking it apart?
Yes, some pool tables can be moved without being disassembled. Whether a pool table can be moved fully assembled depends on the size and weight of the table, the type of construction, and the access at both the pickup and delivery locations.
Our pool table movers have specialized equipment for moving heavy pool tables in one piece when conditions allow. Wide doorways, open hallways, ground-level access and adequate room to maneuver can make a fully assembled move possible. In some cases, we can also move a pool table in one piece up or down a small number of stairs.
If there is not enough clearance or our crew determines that moving the table fully assembled could damage the table or property, the pool table will need to be disassembled for safe transportation and reassembled at the destination.
Slate Pool Table Moving
Slate pool tables require special care because of their weight, construction and fragile playing surface. Depending on the table, the playing surface may consist of a single piece of slate or multiple heavy slate sections. When disassembly is required, our pool table movers carefully remove and protect the slate, rails, felt, frame and other components before transportation.

How we protect your pool table during a move
When a pool table requires disassembly, each piece of slate is individually wrapped and protected with moving blankets before transportation. Because pool table slate is extremely heavy and can crack or chip if handled incorrectly, our movers carefully carry each section with a two-person team or use specialized moving equipment when access allows.
The rails, frame, pockets and other pool table components are also padded and protected before loading. For transportation, our trailers are equipped with an E-track system that allows us to secure the pool table and its components at multiple anchor points, helping prevent shifting during the move.
From disassembly and loading to transportation, unloading and reassembly, our goal is to protect every part of your pool table throughout the entire moving process.
How much does it cost to move a pool table?
The cost to move a pool table depends on the size and weight of the table, the distance between locations, accessibility, stairs, and whether disassembly and reassembly are required. Many professional local pool table moves typically range from approximately $400 to $1,200, although simple moves may cost less and difficult or long-distance moves can cost more.
Access can have a significant effect on the price. Stairs, elevators, narrow doorways, tight hallways, sharp turns and long carrying distances may require additional labor or specialized equipment. Pool tables located in garages, warehouses or commercial buildings with wide doors and open access are generally easier to move.
The construction of the table also matters. If a pool table can be safely moved fully assembled, the move may require less labor. If disassembly is necessary, the rails, felt, slate and frame may need to be carefully taken apart, protected for transportation, and reassembled and leveled at the destination.

Pool Table Moving FAQs
Do you move coin-operated pool tables?
Yes. Luna's Moving can move heavy coin-operated pool tables commonly found in bars, restaurants, game rooms and other commercial locations. These tables can be extremely heavy and may require different equipment and moving techniques than a traditional residential pool table. Send us photos of the table and the pickup and delivery access so we can determine the safest way to move it and provide an accurate quote.
Do pool tables need to be disassembled before moving?
Not always. Some pool tables can be safely moved in one piece when there is enough clearance and good access at both the pickup and delivery locations. Other pool tables should be disassembled because of their size, weight, construction, stairs, narrow doorways or tight turns.
Slate pool tables often require more careful evaluation because of their weight and construction. Our pool table movers assess the table and access at both locations to determine whether it can be safely moved fully assembled or should be disassembled for transportation.
Can you move a slate pool table?
Yes. Luna's Moving specializes in moving heavy slate pool tables throughout Southern California. Depending on the size, construction and access conditions, the pool table may be moved fully assembled or the slate may need to be carefully removed and individually protected for transportation.
Slate is extremely heavy but can also crack or chip if handled incorrectly. Our pool table movers use the appropriate equipment and moving methods to protect the slate, frame, rails and other components throughout the move.
How heavy is a pool table?
Pool table weight varies depending on the size, construction and type of playing surface. Smaller or non-slate pool tables may weigh a few hundred pounds, while full-size slate pool tables commonly weigh approximately 700 to 1,000 pounds or more.
The slate itself accounts for a large portion of the weight and may be made from one large piece or several heavy sections. Commercial, coin-operated and specialty pool tables can also be extremely heavy and may require additional movers or specialized equipment.
Can you move a pool table upstairs or downstairs?
Yes. Luna's Moving can move many pool tables up or down stairs, depending on the table, staircase and available working space. Factors such as the number of steps, staircase width, landings, turns, pool table weight and whether the table can be disassembled all affect how the move should be handled.
Stair moves may require additional movers, specialized equipment or pool table disassembly for safe transportation. When requesting a quote, send us photos of the stairs, landings and surrounding access so we can determine the safest moving method and provide accurate pricing.
Do you reassemble the pool table after moving it?
Yes. If your pool table needs to be disassembled for the move, Luna's Moving can reassemble it at the delivery location. This may include reinstalling the slate, frame, rails, pockets and felt, depending on the table and the services required.
After reassembly, the table can also be leveled so the playing surface sits properly at its new location. Because floors can vary from one room to another, proper leveling is an important final step after moving and reassembling a pool table.
Can you move a pool table from a garage, warehouse, or retail store?
Yes. Commercial buildings, warehouses, retail stores, and garages often provide wider doors and more open access than residential locations. Easier access can reduce the amount of labor required and, in some situations, may allow a pool table to be safely moved without complete disassembly.
What information do you need to provide a pool table moving quote?
For the most accurate quote, provide the pickup and delivery locations, photos of the pool table, approximate table size, and information about stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, doorways, or other access restrictions. Photos of difficult access areas are especially helpful. We can then determine the crew, equipment, and level of disassembly that may be required.
