This review is from: JOOLA Midsize Table Tennis Table (Sports)
This table, two sections about 3 x 3 ft., seems sufficiently strong yet not too heavy to move around. Each section has a pair of sturdy fold out legs that “lock” into place. The clamps which attach the net to the table also act as braces to hold the two table sections together. The table top is solid and provides good ball action. This size table is just large enough to keep the game challenging for adults as well as children. I gave this table 4 stars instead of 5 because the cloth tube on one end of the net into which one of the net clamps is inserted was not sewn large enough, and I needed to make “adjustments” to the material to get the clamp in. The cloth tube on the other end of the net was sewn correctly. This table comes already assembled – very easy to set up.

Well made, no instructions needed! Just open the legs! If you want to play by yourself, put one half by an open wall and presto! You have a “playback” mode!
The trick with the net is to PUSH the poles down into their holes. It took us a day to figure that out. Hope this was useful.

It is sturdy, easy to put up and then put away/store. It has a nice flat/thick top that has a nice bounce. It fits easily in the living room.
But it is small. If you play ping pong like a catnipped feline trying to swat swooping birds out of the air you will miss the back of the table every time with your shots. On the plus side, playing on this was excellent training for my son and I before we visited his uncle’s house, where our newfound accuracy led to our complete domination of the family Christmas. A full side table was like putty in our hands. So this would be a good training tool if you are not yet at Forrest Gump levels of play.
Because it comes apart, we’ve also had fun pulling the sides apart and playing ping pong that way, like the halves are islands in the old floor-is-lava game we played on the furniture as kids. Different and compellingly ridiculous way to play.
Because the halves separate and are totally sturdy, this is also an excellent table for the following things, which we’ve used it for in our house: Axis & Allies – the 2-game entire world edition, card games or board games or puzzles that you want to do near dinner time when the dining room table must be cleared for action, Jenga-like games that might dent lesser furniture. I imagine you could use it as a table for all sorts of other things, too, if you had more varied interests/were much less nerdy than my family.
There have been shipping worries expressed in these reviews. It came in perfect condition for me, but because I was worried I had Amazon call me and they assured me I could return it without shipping charge if it was dented or cracked. If you are also worried, contact them.
