Looking at buying/building a new house and I plan on having a gameroom for my lone pinball machine and a pool table. Was just wondering if carpet or hardwood would be better for a pinball machine. Would it be too loud without the carpet? I'm thinking it would have a more arcade like feel with a hard surface. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Quoted from sammiesguys:I really prefer the look of hardwood, and I have no problem sliding my machines around. Also, easier cleaning up than carpet. But really I think it's up to you.
The one thing I noticed is that you have a pool table. If there is one thing that takes up space in my house and gets little use, it's the pool table. I like it, but someday I think it will go.
Well, I don't actually have a pool table yet. It's just on my wishlist. I may pass on it depending on what we're able to get with our new house. The floor plan we're leaning towards now has an upstairs bonus room/bedroom that would be my game room. Leaning towards carpet based on the responses here. My wife is concerned about the noise too and the fact that as a potential guest room carpet would be better. Thanks for the input guys!
Quoted from pinballsmith:It depends... do you have any pets?
Nope, no pets. Not planning on it either. I'm not a pet lover and I have allergies.

Not exactly what I'm going for. When I see that carpet I think about a smelly skating rink around here that has it.
