Quick Answer: Costco sells full-size 8-ft pool tables under in-house names — The Canton ($3,999.99), The Blake ($4,499.99), and The Aiden ($4,799.99) — all built on real 1-inch, 3-piece certified slate with professional installation included, per Costco’s own listings. The budget outlier is the Arlington Collection by Barrington Billiards ($1,799.99), which swaps real slate for an 8mm Slate-Tech composite surface. The Blake, notably, is also sold direct by its actual manufacturer, Imperial, for $5,295 — nearly $800 more than Costco’s price for what looks like the same table.
Costco’s pool table page reads like a mystery-brand lineup at first glance — The Canton, The Blake, The Aiden, Tuscany, Bourne — none of those names show up on a typical brand-roundup list next to Brunswick or Hathaway. That’s by design: these are private-labeled tables from established manufacturers, sold at warehouse pricing under Costco’s own naming. We traced two of them back to their actual maker and checked what you’re really paying for.
Costco pool tables by the numbers:
- 1-inch, 3-piece certified slate on 3 of 4 current online models. Per Costco’s own product pages, The Canton, The Blake, and The Aiden all use the same slate spec that premium brands like Brunswick and Olhausen build on — not the MDF or composite surfaces common in big-box and Amazon listings under $1,500.
- The Blake costs $795.01 less at Costco than buying it direct. Imperial lists its own 8-ft Blake at $5,295 on imperialusa.com; Costco’s version of the same table sells for $4,499.99 — a real, verifiable price gap for what appears to be the identical design and slate build.
- Installation is included on every current online listing, per Costco’s product pages — a genuine differentiator from flat-packed Amazon and Walmart tables that require several hours of self-assembly.

1. The Blake — Best Overall
The Blake 8' Pool Table (Costco)
- 1-inch, 3-piece certified slate playing bed with professional installation included, per Costco's product listing.
- Sold directly by its manufacturer, Imperial, as the same "Blake" 8-ft table for $5,295 — Costco's price is roughly $795 lower for what appears to be the identical build.
- Available in gray or black felt; billiard accessory kit included in the price.

The Blake earns the top spot here on a simple math check: it’s the only table on this list where we could confirm the exact same design is sold elsewhere at a meaningfully higher price. Imperial’s own site lists the Blake at $5,295; Costco’s listing — same name, same 58.25” x 102.25” footprint, same 1-inch slate spec — runs $4,499.99. That’s not a guaranteed pattern across every Costco pool table, but it’s a strong reason to check Costco’s price before buying a name-brand table direct from the manufacturer.
2. The Aiden — Best Finish Options
The Aiden 8' Pool Table (Costco)
- 1-inch, 3-piece certified slate, walnut/engineered-wood/acacia construction, per Costco's listing — the same manufacturer lineage (Imperial) as The Blake.
- Slightly taller than The Blake (33" vs 31.5"), with khaki or red felt options instead of gray/black.
- The priciest of Costco's current online slate tables, at $4,799.99 including installation.
The Aiden appears to share Imperial’s manufacturing lineage with The Blake, based on matching model listings on imperialusa.com, but commands a $300 premium at Costco — likely down to the walnut/acacia wood mix and the taller 33-inch profile. If felt color (khaki or red vs. gray or black) or that slightly taller build matters to your room, the Aiden is the pick; otherwise The Blake gets you the same slate spec for less.
3. The Canton — Best Value Slate
The Canton 8' Pool Table (Costco)
- 1-inch, 3-piece certified slate at the lowest price of Costco's three full-slate 8-ft tables.
- Narrower footprint than The Blake or Aiden (54.5" W vs. 58.25" W) — worth double-checking against your room's clearance either way.
- Tan or green felt, billiard accessory kit and professional installation included.
The Canton is the entry point into Costco’s real-slate tier, roughly $500-$800 below The Blake or Aiden, and the narrower 54.5-inch width can actually help in a tighter room where every inch of cue-swing clearance counts. We couldn’t confirm the same manufacturer-direct comparison for The Canton that we found for The Blake, so treat its price as simply the lowest slate option in Costco’s current lineup rather than a confirmed discount off a direct price.
4. Arlington Collection by Barrington Billiards — Best Budget
Arlington Collection 8.3' Slate-Tech Pool Table (Costco)
- Trades real slate for Barrington's own 8mm Slate-Tech composite surface — well under half the price of Costco's cheapest real-slate table.
- Competition-size 56" x 100" footprint, billiard accessory kit included.
- The same Arlington name is also sold at general retail (Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart) as a 25mm engineered-wood build closer to $950-$1,200 — a different construction under the same name, detailed in our full Barrington lineup guide.
The Arlington is Costco’s only current pool table under $2,000, and it gets there by dropping real slate for Barrington’s composite Slate-Tech surface — a legitimate budget trade-off, not a hidden downgrade, since Costco’s own listing states the 8mm composite spec plainly. If genuine slate matters more than price, step up to The Canton; if $1,799.99 with installation included fits the budget better, the Arlington is the only Costco option in that range.
A note on American Heritage at Costco
Costco also carries American Heritage’s Charlotte and Paxton billiard collections — both 8-ft tables with 1-inch slate and Perma-Guard stain-resistant cloth, per Costco’s listings — but priced in-warehouse only, meaning the price isn’t published on Costco.com and varies by location. If you’re comparing options in person, ask to see these alongside The Canton, Blake, and Aiden; the online-only pricing gap we found on The Blake may or may not apply to warehouse-exclusive models.
How to choose a Costco pool table
- Want real slate at the lowest Costco price? The Canton at $3,999.99 is the cheapest full-slate option currently listed online.
- Want the best-documented value? The Blake’s $795 gap versus buying direct from Imperial makes it the one confirmed bargain in the lineup.
- On a hard budget under $2,000? The Arlington is Costco’s only option, but it trades real slate for a composite surface — compare it against our best pool table under $2,000 roundup before deciding.
- Buying in person? Ask about American Heritage’s Charlotte and Paxton collections, which aren’t shown online.
- Comparing warehouse clubs? Our Sam’s Club pool table guide covers a very different lineup — mostly sub-$2,000 Barrington composite tables, plus one genuine real-slate exception in the Aries by A.E. Schmidt.
- Always confirm current pricing and stock at your local warehouse or Costco.com before ordering — installation timelines run 4-6 weeks and prices can shift by location.
Comparing across brands rather than retailers? Our full pool table brands ranking covers Brunswick, Olhausen, Hathaway, EastPoint, and more by construction and warranty, and the slate vs. MDF breakdown explains why that 1-inch slate spec is worth paying for.

The bottom line
Costco’s pool table lineup isn’t a mystery house brand — it’s real slate manufacturers (Imperial, American Heritage) sold under Costco’s own naming at warehouse pricing, with installation included. The Blake ($4,499.99) is the strongest pick on the numbers: same manufacturer, same slate spec, and a confirmed $795 discount versus buying the identical table direct from Imperial. The Canton ($3,999.99) is the cheapest way into real slate, and the Arlington ($1,799.99) is the only sub-$2,000 option, composite surface and all. Whichever you pick, confirm current price and stock locally — Costco’s online-only pricing doesn’t cover every model in the warehouse.
