Here's a 7 foot example about a half an hour drive away. 8 footers are definitely more common.

In a dream home game room, a serious player would want both a 7' and a 9'..be able to practice on a table the same as the one he'll be on in an upcoming tourney.
Suggest you also view the how to select a table videos on you tube. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. Veneered pressboard vs. solid wood, thickness of slate, quality of slate, and so on. It can become a pretty complicated subject. The above video shows well why I'd hire pros. Not only do they know the tricks, they have specialized tools. (edit) As long as were' on videos, check out this one about the pro-am Diamond. I know, broken record about diamonds, but they really are made better than others. This video should have one following giving you a factory tour, so you can actually see the materials used, how it's constructed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vpLjMNhOSQ

moving it is easy
I moved mine by utilizing car wheel rollers
I placed one under each leg and just rolled it lifting one end at a time was easy |

entertaining the idea

When I was looking to buy a house about two years ago, there were quite a few houses that included the pool table in the game room with the sale of the house.
I helped a friend pick up a free pool table about ten years back. We got it to his house and set it in his garage. There was no way we were getting it into his house without ruining it (or his house). He originally complained about the roughly $400 it cost for a pro to come and dissemble and reassemble the table in his basement with new felt etc. He finally understood why the table was free. The table was great after the pro was done with the install. I would always recommend getting a pro to move a pool table. He left it behind when he sold the house.
