¿Cuánto cuesta una mesa de billar en Canarias? Precios reales

A new slate pool table, imported, delivered and professionally installed in your home in the Canary Islands, costs between roughly €4,500 and €6,500 as of mid-2026, depending on size and spec. The alternative most people don’t know about: a refurbished second-hand slate table, which avoids the import costs entirely and lands between roughly €1,000 and €4,000 ready to play. That’s the whole answer up front. The rest of this page explains where those numbers come from — including the costs most price lists never show you.

Why mainland prices don’t apply here

The Canary Islands sit outside the EU VAT zone. Every table — whether it ships from Germany or from mainland Spain — crosses by sea and clears customs on arrival. [→ delivery article] A mainland website showing a table at €2,999 is not showing you your price. Your price includes the sea crossing, the paperwork, and getting three pieces of slate up your stairs and playing level. Our quotes are all-inclusive — taxes and import costs are in the number you see, and nothing appears later at the port.

The two routes: new import, or refurbished second-hand

Route	Table price	Whats on top	Who it suits
New, imported	€1,500–3,500+ depending on size and build	Freight, customs, insurance, delivery and installation — roughly €2,100 all in (breakdown below)	Warranty, your choice of cloth and finish, installed right on day one
Refurbished second-hand (Option B)	€500–3,500 — the local market varies that much	Professional refurbishment from around €200 (cloth, cushions, fittings as needed) — and no import costs at all	Best value per euro of playing quality; patience required to find the right table

The second-hand route deserves more respect than it gets. A solid used slate table, properly refurbished — fresh cloth, cushions checked, levelled in your room — plays like a table three times its price. The catch is the market: listings hide cracked slate and dead rails well. Buy inspected, or buy refurbished from someone who stands behind the work. [→ used-table checklist, when live]

What import and installation actually cost

For a new table, three blocks sit on top of the table price. Rounded, honest figures as of mid-2026:

Cost block	Typical figure
International freight (varies with the tables size and weight)	≈ €900
Customs handling and freight insurance, door to door	≈ €400
Home delivery, professional assembly and slate levelling	≈ €800
Total on top of the table price	≈ €2,100

That’s why the same table costs more here than on a mainland price list — and why a refurbished local table skips a €2,100 line entirely. It’s also why ‘cheap’ mainland offers with delivery arranged separately usually end up dearer than an honest landed quote.

Balls and accessories: what the extras cost

• Training ball sets (16 balls, polyester): roughly €80–120. Fine for casual family play; they wear faster and roll less true.
• Club-grade sets: roughly €150–250. The sensible middle for most home tables.
• Tournament phenolic sets: roughly €280–450. Precision-graded, keep their roll and finish for a decade or more of heavy play — what we’d put on our own table.
• The rest: a fitted cover €25–60 (in this climate, not optional [→ humidity guide]), decent house cues from about €50 each, and a brush, triangle and chalk for under €50 together.

Three real-world examples

	Cheap — refurbished 7ft	Mid — new 8ft slate	Quality — new 9ft competition
Table	Used slate find, €600–1,200	≈ €2,300–2,600	≈ €3,300–3,600
Refurbishment	From ≈ €200 (cloth, cushions as needed)	—	—
Import + installation	Not needed — local table	≈ €2,100	≈ €2,100
Balls & accessories	€100–200 (training or club set)	€200–350 (club set, cover, cues)	€350–550 (tournament set, cover, cues)
Ready to play	≈ €1,000–1,700	≈ €4,600–5,100	≈ €5,800–6,300

All figures as of mid-2026, all-inclusive, rounded to be honest rather than precise — the exact number depends on the table, the island and the access to your room. But if a quote you’re holding differs wildly from these ranges in either direction, that’s worth a question.

The costs people forget

• The room itself: check the space fits before you fall in love with a table — a 9ft needs about 5.5 × 4.3 m of clear room. [→ room-fit guide]
• Access: narrow Canarian stairwells and doorways occasionally need extra hands or a different route in. Send a photo of the access with your enquiry and we’ll flag any problem before delivery day.
• Running costs: a recloth every few years depending on use, plus tips and chalk. Budget modestly, but budget.

Get your number

Every house, island and table is slightly different, so if you want the real figure rather than a range: tell us the size you’re thinking about, which island you’re on, and whether new or refurbished appeals — and we’ll send an all-inclusive quote with nothing appearing later. No obligation either way. And if a second-hand listing has caught your eye, send it over first: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a bargain or a trap.
