MDF Snooker Table or Slatebed ?

Question

I've read quite a few sites and found out that it would be better if I bought a slatebed . OK but I am only going to use it for two to three years and a non slate cost 100 pounds in argos . (check the site please ) while a slate bed is for thousands . so i was wondering wether a MDF bed is utterly useless or playable . cause i dont want to spend 100 pounds for nothing and i cant afford a slate bed . so should i buy the Debut Omega 6ft snooker table or just go to the nearest club and pay for the membership . answers from those who have played on MDF .

thanks a lot

Short answer but true

Answer 3

Their OK for kids or to have a knock about on but the balls are too light to control properly.

MDF is made so that it is perfectly level and might stay that way for a couple of years if you take care of it, but as soon as it gets damp or you drop something on it, it's done for.

So yeah I would think it better to go to the local snooker club.
