In 2022, the United States’ Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a study on time use with approximately 8,100 Americans. The study showed that the participants spent an average of 2.50 hours a day on weekdays and 3.47 hours a day on weekends watching television*. That’s 42 whole days or 11.5 percent of an entire year! While we wouldn't venture to say watching television is an evil in itself, we dare to say there are much better ways to use leisure time.
When we come home from a hard day’s work, we’re looking for relaxation and a break from it all. If you and your family enjoy playing billiards, bringing this time-proven old-fashioned fun into your home is a great way to provide an alternative non-digital way to spend time with family and friends, laughing, communicating, reminiscing, and creating life-lasting memories.
A Slate Pool Table in Modern Farmhouse Style
The Huck slate pool table by Nixon Billiards blends the warmth and nostalgia of the rural homestead with modern refinement, producing a slightly aged look that leaves out the coarser edges of rustic design. This stylish composition makes it the perfect element for anyone looking to brighten their home and create an inviting space to spend hours of fun with family and friends.

Championship Invitational Felt
The Championship felt that comes with Huck was designed to bead up any liquid spills, making it easy to mop up any accidents. On top of that, you're able to choose the shade of the cloth. Championship has been in the billiard cloth-making business since 1990 and is known for its reliable quality, and we're really happy to carry their products.
Billiards, Food, and Ping-Pong around the Same Table
The optional four-piece Nixon table top allows you to quickly convert the pool table into a regular table and vice versa. It's a great space-saving option, and you’re not compromising on quality either. Several of our clients use the table top so that their pool table can double as the family dining table. Leather-covered 75" benches containing a storage space underneath for balls, cues, and all the other billiard accessories are also available.
If you want to upgrade the pool table even further, you might want to consider the optional ping-pong top. Although not competition size, the ping-pong top is a beautiful addition to any Nixon table and allows you to enjoy both games without wasting any space with a fold-up ping-pong table.
Our Commitment to Quality Service
One of our favorite parts of the business at the Family Game Room is getting feedback from satisfied and impressed customers. We know we're working with real people who expect quality, and we’re committed to giving you the best experience and support possible from the time you place an order with us to installing the pool table in your home. Here’s a transcribed video review and a few pictures from one of our clients who purchased an Isabella Manhattan.
"So we just got our pool table from the Family Game Room, and we love it. We think it looks spectacular. And Jonathan was incredibly helpful in helping us pick the color of the felt, which we think goes fabulous with our room. So it looks even better than it did in the pictures.
“And we had some problems. The manufacturers forgot the screws. But the Family Game Room was terrific and worked really hard to get us the screws. And the customer service was terrific. We couldn't be more pleased. So now it's just time to play pool!"
Please note that the pool table in the pictures below is an Isabella Manhattan in Charcoal finish, not a Nixon Huck.
