Typically, bumper pool tables are smaller than a regulation [[Billiard table#Pool tables|pool table]].<ref name="bptf" />{{clarify|date=January 2022|reason=No dimensions for either are given. What is the standard size for a bumper pool table?}} The table has two pockets, placed opposite one another, located at the center of two of the rails.<ref name="bptf" /> The surface of the table has the same cloth covering as a standard pool table.

Two bumpers flank each pocket.<ref name="bptf" /> The remaining bumpers are arranged in a cross in the center of the table, with one line of the cross in line with the pockets.<ref name="bptf" /> At the center of the cross, there is an open space just large enough to allow a ball to pass through. Most tables have eight bumpers in the cross, with two comprising each arm, though additional pairs of bumpers may be included in the cross.<ref name="bptf" />
