To get an idea how heavy: one of the three of the pieces of the large pool table weighs in at 89.65kg (about 197lbs). The pieces are large and heavy difficult to maneuver. Chalkboards typically come in longer lengths. you'll have two annoying seams to line up (though there are 1 piece manufacturers). First, pool table slate typically comes in three pieces that are fairly short i.e.

Practically Speaking: Pool table slate isn't going to make a good chalkboard for a couple reasons. This wouldn't happen with the pool table slate, it's too massive, the only thing you hear is sweet hiss of the chalk on the slate. This is because modern chalkboards are not slate, they are fairly thin and when not properly mounted to the wall serve as large drums. If you're old enough to remember chalkboards then you've probably experienced the sensation of being in one room and hearing the chalkboard from another room. (2) The sensation of writing on something as massive as pool table is.lovely. Keep in mind that pool slate has to be flat, it does not have to be (and is not) polished as the felt goes on top. Writing on the pool slate: (1) The line quality is almost the same as the two good indoor chalkboards. The crap one seems to be a little too smooth, the chalk seems to skim over the surface without biting in. Of the three, two are lovely, and one is a bit crap (though still better than dry erase).

Writing on the chalkboards: It is well worth noting that not all chalkboards are the same. The pool tables are similar rescues that have never been assembled. (They have all been scavenged from local schools/uni's getting rid of their chalkboards for goddamn dry erase markers that last about as long as a fruit fly). I have three chalkboards: two indoors and one that has been outside in the weather for a very long time.

For once I feel qualified to answer not because of what I do for a living, but rather what I happen to have out in the barn.
