The first step to installing a pool table is to level the table itself, the "table" being the frame that holds the slate that makes up the playing surface.I though this would be easy, but it actually took MUCH longer than expected and several trips to Lowes and Home Depot.
The problem: the floor in the great room has a very noticeable slope, at least when trying to perfectly level a table.
Then I recalled at the pre-purchase inspection that the foundation inspector warned me that the living room showed to have a slightly sloping floor.
Anyway, after several try and retry attempts to get the right material in the right thickness, I finally got the table level using shims made of 1/4" and 3/8" plywood. One leg required a piece of BOTH, amounting to 5/8" of lift to level the table.

A leg with no shims:
