This is for my coursework. My Argentinian friend translated it as 'Mi dormitorio tuvo una enorme tabla de pool pero era tan grande que la vendimos'. I'm not sure if it's totally right in formal Spanish. Please only answer if you're sure it's correct.
Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry I meant to say "We used to have a pool table -in my bedroom- but we sold it"

and I also meant to add that it was because it was too big. Sorry about that.

Teníamos una mesa de billar pero la vendimos...nowhere does it say it was in your bedroom (dormitorio), or that you sold it because it was too big...and "table" is certainly not "tabla" in Spanish...

edit: ok, in that case... "Teníamos una mesa de billar en el dormitorio pero la vendimos"

edit: alright then..."Teníamos una mesa de billar en el dormitorio pero la vendimos porque era demasiado grande"

Best formal translation: Teniamos una mesa de billar en el dormitorio pero era demasiado grande, asi que la vendimos.

Había una mesa de billar en mi dormitorio, pero la vendimos porque era muy grande.

or

Teníamos una mesa de billar en mi dormitorio, pero la vendimos porque era muy grande.

Literally it would be "solíamos tener una mesa de billar (or una mesa de pool) pero la vendimos.

Your friends translation is "My bedroom used to have a huge pool table but it was so big that we sold it".

Native speaker, also Argentina lol
