This is a very interesting conversation. Mine is in the family room beside the pool table. Since the boys are grown up they don't use the pool table very often. The can't believe I have turned the family room into a long arm space since I already took one of their bedrooms for a sewing room. The bedroom with the attached bathroom. I put my long arm on wheels so when we are using the family room space, I can push the long arm over the the far side of the room so my long arm doesn't get interferred with, making plenty of room for everyone to use the pool table.
