Hi Zia,

Th table was designed in imperial measurements.  It is 9 feet by 5 feet and 2 ft 6 inches off the ground.

These are the measurements in the rule book.

The upper surface of the table, known as the playing surface, shall be rectangular, 2.74m long and 1.525m wide, and shall lie in a horizontal plane 76cm above the floor.
