Hathaway Classic 28-in Floor Billiard Cue Rack - Black Finish
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Classic is a freestanding floor cue rack built from solid poplar wood with a scratch-resistant clear coat finish in black. The rack holds up to 8 pool cues in a radial configuration around a 28.25-in tall center post at a 10.25 in L x 29 in W x 28.25 in H footprint. Four recessed drink holders are built into the top ring, keeping beverages at the table within arm's reach without resting glasses on the pool table surface.
Ships small parcel at 20 lb. Assembly approximately 10 minutes. Does not include pool cues. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 4 and up.
Construction
Center post, top ring, and base are solid poplar hardwood — not MDF or composite. Poplar provides the structural rigidity needed for a floor-standing cue rack that must resist lateral cue weight distributed around the full circumference of the ring.
The black finish is protected by a scratch-resistant clear coat applied over the stain. Clear coat seals the wood surface against the repeated contact of cue butts and the moisture common in game room environments near drinks.
Four recessed drink holders are built into the top ring of the rack. Recessed holders keep glasses and cans within the rack footprint — no cup projection beyond the 29-in ring diameter that could cause spills during cue retrieval.
The radial cue holder accommodates up to 8 pool cues in separate slots around the top ring. Individual slots prevent cues from leaning against each other and causing tip damage or handle marring from contact.
Integrated leg levelers on the base compensate for uneven floors. At 9 lb, the rack is lightweight enough to be moved without disassembly but stable enough to stand without tipping under a full cue load.
The 29-in diameter top ring sits on a footprint of 10.25 in L x 29 in W — narrow enough to position beside a pool table without projecting into the cue clearance zone.
Buyer's Guide
Floor cue racks require no wall mounting and can be positioned adjacent to the pool table regardless of wall availability. The Classic's 29-in diameter fits in the corner of any standard game room without interfering with cue clearance. Wall-mounted racks (like the Vintage BG2571M) require an available wall section with clear stud access and cannot be repositioned without repatching the wall. For rooms where wall space is limited or where the table is not against a wall, a floor rack is the practical choice.
The drink holder integration is a functional advantage over racks without it: in a game room where the pool table is the primary activity, four drink holders positioned beside the table eliminates the need for a separate side table or bar cart for beverages. The Classic is available in black (this model) and matching finishes — choose to coordinate with your existing pool table or game room furniture.
