The Norwich
Carved Legs. Old World Craft. Practical Design.
The Norwich pairs old-world detail with practical design: carved legs and a substantial frame that give it the look of a piece passed down rather than bought new. It is offered in 7-foot and 8-foot sizes and three finishes, Black, Traditional Mahogany, and Warm Chestnut. Built from solid hardwood around a 1-inch Italian slate bed, the Norwich uses K66 gum rubber cushions for consistent rebound, the same playing specification found across the C.L. Bailey pool table line. Standard Mali wool-blend cloth covers the surface, and Velocity Pro worsted cloth is available as an upgrade for faster, truer play and longer cloth life. A 7-foot Norwich needs a room of about 11 feet 11 inches by 15 feet 2 inches with a standard 52-inch cue, and the 8-foot table about 12 feet 4 inches by 16 feet. Every Norwich is delivered and installed in your home by an authorized dealer and carries the C.L. Bailey lifetime structural guarantee on the frame, legs, and rails.

Frequently Asked
Common questions
An 8-foot table is the right answer for most American homes. It plays well for casual entertaining, serves a serious player, and fits the most rooms. A 7-foot table is right for tighter rooms and family-shared use. A 9-foot table is the tournament size and the right call only if the room genuinely accommodates it and a serious player wants the longer geometry.
C.L. Bailey residential pool tables use 1-inch Italian slate, set in three matched sections seamed together at installation. That is the residential standard, and it is the thickness that holds level for the life of the table. Anything thinner is a compromise.
Most residential pool table cloth lasts five to ten years before showing wear that affects play. Worsted cloth (Velocity Pro) often runs on the longer end. Napped cloth (Mali) replaced on a regular cleaning schedule runs in the middle. Heavy daily use, sun exposure near a window, or liquid spills compress the cycle. Replacement is a half-day visit with your dealer.
