An indoor ping-pong table can be your golden ticket to ramp up your game, inject excitement into mundane evenings, and be the life of any gathering. Ping-pong isn't just about fun—it's a fun way to burn calories too!
First, make sure you have an appropriate room and the right amount of space. Ping-pong tables can come in multiple sizes but there is only one official regulation size. You can find both
regulation/standard-sized tables and non-regulation/non-standard
tables. The latter are intended for recreational use only. Regulation-size, or competition-size ping-pong
tables, are sized according to the dimensions mandated by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) regulations. Almost every table you will come across
will be a standard-sized table. The standard size of a ping-pong or table tennis table is: 9ft x 5ft x 2.5ft or 108in x 60in x 30in. On the other hand, non-regulation recreational ping-pong tables come in different smaller sizes. There is no standard
small size and different manufacturers have their own variations. The most common size of a non-regulation ping-pong
or table tennis table is 6ft x 3ft x 2.5ft or 72in x 36in x 30in. When buying a table, you also need to consider how much space you have around the table. We recommend having at least
4-5 feet of space on all 4 sides to play a game of ping-pong comfortably. If you don’t have enough space, you
may want to hold off buying a table. We strongly recommend figuring out where you have space available in your home or office before deciding to buy
a table. For home setups, make sure the playing area is not near anything that can easily break. Fragile or
expensive items should be moved or protected if they are near the table. Similarly, the placement of a table in a
workplace affects not only the players, but also the other employees. The biggest concern is the noise level so the
playing area should be isolated enough to not distract others or interfere with their work. Outdoor playing areas typically have more space to work with, but there are still some factors to consider when
choosing where to set up your table. It’s great to play outside in the fresh air, but too much sunlight or
wind can make it difficult. If you live in a windy place, try to choose a spot with some natural barriers (walls,
trees, etc.) to minimize the effects. You will also want to consider the ground underneath the table, especially if
your table requires a level surface. Grass or dirt allows for better shock absorption, but it can be tough to move
properly when compared to a wood deck or concrete. For more on Outdoor tables see: Best Outdoor Ping-Pong Table It is said that a famous rap star once faked repair problems in his home so that he could play ping-pong with the
handyman when he came over. Sounds desperate but very true! Ping-pong is a two-person game, so you must have someone to play with.
Even the lowest-priced ping-pong tables cost a considerable amount of money, so make sure that you have someone to
play with. Otherwise, your table may start collecting dust in a corner. If the answer to these questions is positive, then go for it. Otherwise, it may be better for you to join your local
club instead of buying a table that you may not use. You may be extremely passionate about the game and it may be tough to find someone who feels the same way about the
game. So you have to find a real playing partner. Some players pool-in money to buy a ping-pong table. This can be a good way for players on a limited budget to get a
table. Just make sure the cost-sharing and table usage details are discussed beforehand. If you work in an office, you may want to convince your boss that getting a table is a good idea. Ping-pong is a
great way to unite employees and keep their minds sharp with physical exercise while giving them a healthy break
from sitting down all day. If you want to take the game seriously but have nobody around that could play at your skill level: Once you have decided that a ping-pong table is a practical choice, it is helpful to decide on a budget. Ping-pong
tables are available for as low as $400 and as high as $4000. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a high-end table. Recreational home players can often find a durable
high-quality table that plays like a competition table for less than $700. We can classify tables into these price points. Priced between $100 and $450, these tables are the most affordable. They are ideal for children or
entry-level players who have a small budget or who do not have space for a full-size table. You will also find full-size tables in this price range but they generally have very thin surfaces that lead to a
poor and an inconsistent bounce and are unlikely to hold up well over time. Non-regulation sized tables are lightweight and offer portability and easy assembly. Here are some examples: For more options see Small Fun Tables. For the reasons mentioned, we do not recommend purchasing a regulation-sized table in this price range. By
increasing your budget, you may be able to find a durable full-size table. Priced between $450 and $600, recreation class tables are an excellent choice for beginners and
intermediates. They offer a great balance of price, quality, and features. You can find a lot of variety in this
price category. When compared to higher-end tables, the options in this price range typically have a thinner table-top with a less
consistent bounce. The legs and frame of the table are less sturdy as well. Tables in this category offer considerable value for the money and you can have a lot of fun playing on them. Here are my recommended models we have in this range: For more options see Basic Home Tables. Priced between $600 and $1000, you will find mid-range ping-pong tables are most suitable for homes, sports
clubs, school gyms, local recreation centers, and even for players looking to train competitively. These tables come
with high-quality characteristics like a thick playing surface, strong undercarriage, robust frame, and a detachable
net. Entry-level outdoor tables typically fall in this price range. In this category, you can find indoor tables of exceptional quality for a great price. Some of the tables made in China can
perform as well as many high-end European tables that carry a much higher price tag. Additionally, European tables
with lower specifications can also be found within this price range. Here are a couple of the best-selling models we have in this range: For more options see High-End Home Tables and Outdoor Tables. In the $1000+ price range you will find competition-grade, ITTF-approved premium quality ping-pong
tables, designer tables or premium outdoor tables. These tables have the highest-quality features that provide an even bounce and a higher playing experience.
Indoor tables in this price range are mostly purchased by official competition hosts, high-end sports bars, and competition players. These are
the kind of tables you would find in regional, national and international competitions. If you are looking for a sturdy and durable outdoor table, this is the price range you will be looking into. In general, these tables are extremely well-designed. You can expect to get what you pay for. ITTF-Approved tables provide a consistent bounce on all parts of the table. They have a matte finish on the playing
surface for optimal friction and reduced glare. These tables are typically produced in Europe and held to the
highest standard. For non-approved tables, the higher price tag can be justified by the use of premium materials and
excellent craftsmanship. All premium tables are incredibly durable. This category includes the higher-end outdoor
tables as well since they demonstrate these characteristics. Some of our competition table models: For more options see Competition Tables, Refurbished Competition Tables, Designer Tables and Outdoor Tables. Surface thickness refers to the thickness of the table-top; it is perhaps the most important factor that you should
consider when purchasing a table tennis table. A thick table surface means an even bounce; ITTF requires the ball to bounce at least 23 cm when dropped from a
height of 30 cm on the table. Tables with low thickness produce uneven bounces that will dampen your playing
experience. As a recreational home or office player, you don’t need to follow ITTF rules. Competitive games are normally played on a table surface of 25mm thickness, but non-regulation tables come in
various thickness levels. Please keep in mind that the specifications for indoor and outdoor tables vary greatly, as
outdoor tables are often thinner and made of different materials. Here are the most common table thicknesses for indoor tables: 14mm and thinner We do not recommend indoor tables in this category as the bounce will likely be inconsistent. 15mm For beginners, only purchase if you are on a tight budget or want a very lightweight table. 19mm For intermediate players, 18 and 19mm tables have a good bounce and moderate weight. 22mm The second best; found in club class tables. 22mm tables can provide an exceptional bounce, especially
tables from the top brands. 25mm The best performance and most consistent bounce; found in competitive-class tables. The weight of a ping-pong table is directly proportional to its durability: the heavier the table, the longer it will
last. Competition grade tables can weigh more than 300 pounds and recreational tables are usually much lighter. The weight of the table reflects the quality of wood, sturdiness, and durability. A heavier table is often made from
higher quality wood or wood composite, which means you get an even surface for an even bounce. The thickness of the
table-top and frame play a major part as well. A 25mm table will be considerably heavier than a 15mm due to its
table-top and more robust frame. If you move and change houses often, you should probably consider a table that weighs less and has wheels, for
greater portability. A heavy table is difficult to move, especially if it doesn’t have wheels, and you don’t
want to pack and ship a gigantic table each time you move. The sturdiness of the frame is another essential factor to determine your table choice. Look for a table with a
durable frame made from excellent quality materials like aluminum or stainless steel. Moreover, look for tables that
have more connecting parts because they are sturdier. The frame is the main structure of your table. You have to pay very close attention to the frame because it is a
fundamental building block of every ping-pong table. Are you going to place your table inside your home, or do you want to put it on a patio or lawn? Location considerations are crucial, as outdoor tables need to be weatherproof. Since outdoor tables are exposed to
natural elements like wind, rain, sunlight, and humidity, they are made from sturdier and cured materials (metal,
synthetics). They are generally more expensive than indoor tables, but they will certainly last longer. There are no hard and fast rules, you can use outdoor tables indoors but it might not be the most cost-effective
option. However, outdoor tables can be a good choice for garages and other spaces that experience high humidity or
large fluctuations in temperature. The different materials of outdoor tables hold up well over time in these
conditions, while the lifespan of an indoor table could be shortened. For our outdoor table options see Outdoor Tables. The net of a table tennis table is also essential to the game. Apart from its material and construction, the type of
net supported by the table is also important. These are the most common types of nets for table tennis tables: Non-Standard Fixed Nets On some tables, the net posts are fixed to one half of the table or to a center post. They cannot be
removed or replaced with a standard net. These nets allow you to start playing without having to assemble the net every time you play. On the
other hand, fixed nets are harder to replace once they wear out since they are unique to each table or
brand. Clamp Nets Some ping-pong tables offer clamp net posts that can be attached and detached. These nets typically allow you to fine-tune the height with a height-adjustment screw and adjust the
tension on the net with a string. They offer versatility but take some time to assemble. Clip-On Nets A clip-on net is similar to a clamp net but it is attached to the side of the table with a clip rather
than a clamp. They are faster to attach to the table than clamp nets. Ping-pong tables are large and weigh 100 pounds or more. Therefore, the ease with which you can move the table can be
an important deciding factor. If portability is important, look for tables that have wheels with their legs and
those that can be folded and transported easily. Larger wheels roll better on uneven surfaces and this is particularly important for outdoor tables. Higher-end tables
often have the largest and most durable wheels and this helps when moving the table across the lawn or patio. If you
plan to move your table frequently or your playing area is fairly uneven, choosing a table with large wheels is a
great idea. The one-piece folding ping-pong table design consists of two halves that are connected
through a central folding mechanism. When not in use, the table can be folded up and stored in the
standing position. While you can find the one-piece design on some recreational tables, it is often the higher-end tables
that have this feature. The systems vary in their complexity and ease of use. Some are built to be very
compact when folded and others prioritize easy setup. These types of tables often have a fixed net system. With a fixed net, there is no need to detach the net
and store it in between use as it is fixed to the table. When you’re ready to play again, you just
unfold the table and the net will be in place. Examples include JOOLA Atlanta and
Sponeta Super Compact
8-37W. A two-piece ping-pong table design is one with two separate halves that roll independently and are joined
together to form the whole table. The two halves can be folded up and stored side by side. By placing
the two halves together, some two-piece tables take up less space than a one-piece table. The table can
normally be set up by 1 person, but it may require a little more effort. Since these tables separate into two halves, they are easier to lift up and move if needed. However,
rolling both halves together is a little more challenging than pushing a one-piece table. You will find detachable nets on these tables, which require a little more set up than a fixed net
system. Also, some players worry that the two halves are not strongly secured. While this can be an
issue with some tables, players are not allowed to move the table or support themselves on it, so you’re
unlikely to encounter a problem. Several home tables and competition tables have this design. Examples include Stiga
Optimum 30 and Butterfly
Octet 25. This design is similar to the two-piece folding table design but there are no wheels attached to the
legs. There usually are two small wheels on each half that extend from the side of the table for
portability. The table legs fold down into the setup position. This design is extremely compact and is
recommended for customers that do not need to move the table in between playing sessions. They can be
quite heavy and require some effort to set up each time. For full-time and semi-permanent uses, this is
a nice design to consider. Examples include Butterfly Europa
25. Some ping-pong tables cannot be folded and are not easily transported. Just like
furniture, they are designed to remain in one place once they are set-up. These tables are very sturdy
and usually heavy. JOOLA
Berkshire falls in this category. Choosing the right table design is essential as well. Two-piece design tables can be stacked against each other and
typically offer the most compact storage. For portability, high-end one-piece design tables can make it faster to
move the table over long distances, as the table halves move together securely. Our customers sometimes initially buy a table intended to be used in a single place but later discover they need to
fold it often to use the room for a different purpose when they are not playing. Consider thinking long-term before
making your buying decision - these tables can be in your house for many years! You may need to find a sweet spot between portability and looks when buying your table. Some of the best looking
tables are not very portable. Thinking about the logistics can help you save a lot of hassle and money in the
future. Playback mode is a sought after feature. A table that offers fold up playback mode is one where you can fold up one
table half and use it as a backboard for your shots. This allows for solo practice when you do not have someone to
play with. This feature is most commonly used by beginners to get a feel for the game. On the other hand, you will rarely see an advanced player practicing like this since the trajectory of the ball, when
hit with sufficient spin and speed, does not accurately reflect in-game conditions. For the best solo practice, we
recommend table tennis robots as they provide a more realistic ball trajectory and practice experience. Playback mode is most often found on two-piece tables. If you are buying a ping-pong table for your home, it is important to see how much assembly is required. The assembly
process can take as little as ten minutes or it can last for hours. Ideally, you would buy one that needs little
time to assemble. You can check for the assembly time in the product description or customer reviews. There may even
be a product-specific manual or demonstration video available. Fortunately, almost all models can be easily assembled. You have to be a little cautious though, sometimes you can
damage the frame and surface if you don’t know exactly how to place the pieces together. Table builds for professionals typically require complex instructions, but most tables are pretty easy to set up.
Make sure to see what tools are required to properly assemble the table. For more complex assemblies, you will
almost certainly need some specific tools and this information should be in the instructions. In general, you don’t have to pay for assembly service. By doing a little bit of research and watching some
videos on YouTube, you can often figure it out yourself. I’d suggest reading the installation manual before
buying the table to have some idea beforehand. Worst case, if you order a table that requires assembly and you are not too technical, you can hire somebody to
assemble it for you. You can find a local handyman to help with this task, but first, check to see if they are
familiar with the process. We recommend purchasing a ping-pong table that is manufactured by an established brand. If you lose or break a part
of the table, replacement parts will be readily available. Furthermore, purchasing a model that is already popular
increases the likelihood that the manufacturer has spare parts when you need them. Once considered the mainstay of mildewed basements, garages, and old school dive bars, ping-pong has made a flashy
comeback in high-end sports bars, restaurants, and recreation rooms around the world. Ping-pong’s reclaimed fame is reflected in the giant ping-pong robot developed by a famous tech company,
astronauts playing microgravity ping-pong, and Facebook creating a virtual reality that lets users play ping-pong in
space. One person even taught their dog to play ping-pong! Encouraged by these entertaining trends, many millennials are purchasing ping-pong tables for their homes like crazy
and we at Megaspin are excited to help you buy ping-pong tables from one of the best brands in the world. Examining the specifications and features of a table is a great way to figure out which table is right for you, but
finding a table that matches your taste in style (or home decor) is important too. While it can be as simple as picking your favorite color, there are a couple of details to consider. Blue is the most common color and you can find it across most major brands. If you take a look through a tournament
hall, you will likely see a blue sea of competition-level tables. Over the years, green has also been a popular
color and many green tables have a “classic” look to them. Black and gray tables have gained in popularity as well. Tables in these colors have a more neutral look and can pair
well with other furniture and decorations. If you are searching for something even more unique, our designer tables come
in some stylish colors and surface textures. Dimensions: 108″ x 60″ x 30″ | Weight: 249lbs | Design: Two-piece | Frame: 50mm metal | Surface

products. Even though it is priced on the high side, we think Cornilleau Park Outdoor is well worth its price.
The tabletop is coated with gray finish using Cornilleau's MATTOP technology to prevent glare in outdoor conditions.
Although the surface thickness is only 9mm, the laminated table-top provides an even bounce. The manufacturer is known for designing tables that adhere to the strictest European safety standards. The corners
of the steel table are covered with protectors to ensure to help prevent potential injuries when hitting the table
edges. The table is designed to be fixed in the ground permanently so think wisely where to place the table before making a
purchase.
Park is a heavy table that needs to be bolted down to the ground. Be sure about where you want to place this table
as
it does not come off easily once bolted down! A sand ballast kit is available as an add-on to make the table heavier. A 12-inch fastening kit is also available to
secure the table more securely on soft surfaces like grass. This table has a minimal design and does not come with built-in storage space for rackets and balls. Storage space
is
not typically expected on tables designed for public spaces. Dimensions: 108″ x 60″ x 30″ | Weight: 280lbs | Design: One-piece design | Frame: 50.8mm steel |

features.
We have categorized it as one of the best foldable tournament-quality tables: it folds in half easily and fits into
a 21"-wide
storage space. The two halves of this table are joined in the middle so the 2 halves cannot be stored separately.
The table has a safety locking mechanism that prevents the table from opening or closing accidentally. The
5" rubber wheels make it easy to transport the table and can be locked to a fixed position to prevent table movement
during play.
One or two people can easily fold and
store the ping-pong table. The table's 25mm particle board table-top is painted with spin-friendly paint. The tabletop is surrounded by a sturdy steel frame with corner protectors for the players' safety. The undercarriage of this table has the strength you would expect from a table of this class. It is composed of 2" square
steel legs that are placed 40cm away
from the edge of the table that makes the table wheelchair-friendly. All 4 legs have leg levelers, which make it easy
to adjust the height of the table on uneven surfaces. The table does not have racket holders or ball holders but these are not typically found on a table of this class. It
also comes in green. Dimensions: 108″ x 60″ x 30″ | Weight: 310lbs | Design: Two-piece| Frame: 61mm profiled steel |

The table is recommended for competitive players looking for a tournament-quality bounce in addition to table
portability.
It is suitable for gymnasiums and sports clubs or players who need a high-quality bounce to practice at home. The table features a 30mm high-performance surface a 60mm metal frame and strong chassis construction.
It has a lock-and-fold design and eight wheels that make it one of the most portable ITTF-approved tables in its
price range. The International Table Tennis Federation approves tables according to the quality of their bounce, and this table's
ITTF approval means you can expect a consistent standard table bounce across all parts of the table.
A triple coat of gloss varnish is used to increases the table's friction and enhance the spin effect during play.
The chassis construction of the undercarriage, the metal frame, and the fiberboard are built from high-quality
durable materials that you can expect from a product made in Germany.
All 4 legs have leg-levelers to adjust the height of the table on uneven surfaces. The folding mechanism and semi-automatic lock-and-fold design mean each half glides smoothly when you're folding and
unfolding the table. Once closed, the table takes up little space, and it only takes one person to fold the entire table. The table does not come assembled and requires 1-2 hours of initial setup time. Once it is set up, you have a strong
table that will last a long time.Should you buy a table?
