JOOLA Midsize Compact Ping Pong Table Great for Small Spaces and Apartments - Multi-Use Free Standing - Compact Storage Fits in Most Closets - Table Tennis Net Set Included - No Assembly Required

I have enjoyed Table Tennis since age 6 or 7. I always played on a full-size table. My wife and I (soon to be 68) haven't owned our own table for over 25 years and recently moved into a smaller home that has no room for a full-size ping pong table so we took a chance with this JOOLA Midsize and, within minutes, had it standing firmly on a carpeted floor in our basement family room where we have plenty of space all around it to play a lively game and get a good workout to boot. It arrived a week ago and we haven't been able to stop playing on it since. I am amazed at how quickly both my wife and I adjusted our playing styles to this smaller table. We absolutely love it and can't wait to teach our two grandkids (ages 5 and 8) to learn the game. It's perfect for young and old. Assembly was easy: Remove from box, open the attached legs of each half table, place two half tables together where you want to play, attach the net. That's it! I think it is very well made and attractive, quite solid and sturdy, with easy storage if taken apart and legs folded back under each half table. There are no wheels under the legs but, as the table is not too heavy, it can be easily shifted around on the floor, if necessary, with little effort by either one or two people. If I'm not mistaken, this JOOLA table is the same brand that the middle school where I taught for 34 years had ten of these in its cafeteria for use before and after school and also in the gym when the PE teacher used them for a couple of weeks each semester. I really can't fault this ping pong table in any way. Eventually we will buy a full-size JOOLA outdoor table to use in our garage, but, until we do, I think this midsize table is giving us almost all the same pleasure and exercise that a full-size table would give us. It will be interesting to see how we adjust our playing styles to the full-size after spending a few months improving our playing skills at ping pong on just this midsize table, but, as variety is the spice of life, I think it will be great fun to be able to play on either table, as we so choose, when the time comes. You won't regret buying this JOOLA midsize table tennis table and I recommend it highly and with no reservations. The price is right also. We expect to pay around $600 for the full-size table when we get around to ordering it, so the $154 we paid for this one doesn't seem unreasonable at all. If you wait a while, you might even find it for less. We weren't willing to wait for a sale price and I'm glad we didn't. Every day now I can't wait to hear my wife say the words, "Anyone for a game of ping pong?" Unless I say it first!!

Actually 4.5 stars. See my final sentence. We received our Joola midsize table tennis table four days ago. My husband and I are around 60 years old each and got it in order to keep active, which it has proven to do; no more vegetating on the internet/ watching TV for hours on end (when we’re not at work or out hiking.) Neither of us has played in years. We played three different sessions during the first day. It was so fun that we couldn’t bear to stop. We’ve yet to play doubles. The table is noticeably smaller than regulation size, but we feel that it makes the game a bit more challenging, having to be somewhat more precise in where we place the ball. Other than that, the table is wonderful. The net is taut and easy to attach. The hardness of surface causes the ball to bounce as well as any table we’ve ever played on and it’s level. We received it by mail, a day late due to unforeseen trouble with the carrier. The box had a puncture incurred when under transport and has openings serving as handholds for the mail carrier, so that it was lucky that the bolt, screw and washers for one end of one leg which had come loose hadn’t fallen out, but stayed in the box so that I was able to reattach the loose leg with tools I had on hand at home. I would advise the company to make sure all the bolts and screws are properly tightened before boxing the table. Perhaps a bit thicker cardboard could be used for the box, as well, to avoid punctures. There was a minor scratch or two on the underside of the table which are not visible when the table is in use, nor do they have any affect on how the table functions. The size is perfect for our little home. It’s good that it’s in two halves, so that it is easier to deal with when setting it up or putting it away, both of which are done within 5 minutes – I would say it takes only about 3 minutes. I can do it on my own with no trouble, though it is advised always to use two people to lift the table into the upright position; I’m 5’4” and no weakling. It is good that half of the table can be used as a card table, and that we’ll be able to use the table when we have more guests than our small dining table accommodates. If it weren’t for the loose leg and scratches from transport when being mailed, I would give this table five stars.

The packaging was professional (surrounded by honeycomb inside and foam wrap). Weighed about 50 lbs. After removing the packaging, I was able to pull out the legs and play ping pong with my family immediately because the assembly was that easy (pop open the legs put the two table pieces together and cinch down the net!) And since it is a midsize table (approx 2/3 the size of a full table), it really had us work on the volley aspect and our first use, we all played for 4 hours. Addicting! Age range of the family members was from teens to 70 yrs old! What amazes me is the quality is better than a full size tennis table by other brands. JOOLA makes tables for the professional tournaments and they use the same quality in this mid-size table. Comes with a very high quality net. It does not come with any paddles or balls so order some if you want to play right away! And last, when we want to fold it and put it away, this was just as simple as the assembly. You will not regret the purchase of this table. It's now been 3 weeks and we have not changed our view on this family fun sport. I've been able to get my 70 year old dad off his "sofa" and a little more interest in being active because of this table. I wore a heart rate monitor and after each play we are averaging between 400-550 calories burned but it's because we are playing at a rapid speed trying to figure out how to slam on a shorter table, it takes skill! This is the best thing that I could have done for our family! One more thing...any of the negatives that were written about the packing of this table was from 2012-2013 and they must have fixed these issues because as I said in the beginning of this review, it was packed very well. Outstanding instructional video: [...] I PURCHASED THIS in February 2016 for $179. Now the price is even better...so better grab it! As of December 2016 and playing on it every weekend with neighbors, family and friends, it's still keeping it's new appearance. Outstanding quality!!

The table arrived in good condition and sets up easily. It is of better quality than I expected and I like that we can also use the two piece table as card tables and even extra dining tables for big holiday gatherings. The kids really like it and it is the perfect size for most family rec rooms. It is actually easier to play with young children on a table of this size than on a full size regulation table. It also folds up easily for storage. My only suggested improvement for the product would be a locking mechanism for the legs. They seem sturdy and the support arms are pretty good, but I deducted one star because I could see a child climbing under the table to retrieve a ball and bumping the support arm out of position. A simple sliding ring lock like those found on any decent folding table would be an inexpensive and sensible safety measure. The table also did not come with the black storage cover referenced in the product details. I have an e-mail into Joola customer service on that, but I am still very pleased overall.

Just now opened this package delivered a few days ago. The table which is supposed to basically come assembled, legs all fall apart immediately upon opening because just about ALL of the screws have fallen out! At first I thought, yeah this really sucks but no big deal the since I discovered the screws are here scattered throughout the box. I retrieved the screws and send the box to the dumpster. Turns out this table has no intention of staying together at all! The screws don’t fit properly and evidently they NEVER did! They don’t screw to any end, you can just keep turning them. So the moment you go to stand the table up several of the screws release and fall to the floor again! I had a few small screws available and used them for a few of the places and they are holding up much better then the screws it came with! Too bad I only had four, I need about 44 more! Not to mention some of the screws holding the table together are also loose! I am livid! My son asked me for this table and it’s a gigantic disappointment to say the least! Nowhere near worth the amount being charged! So cheaply designed it’s a robbery! I truly feel like I have been robbed! As if someone just forced me to give them all of my money and gave me All of the mental anguish of a person who has literally been robbed! I would like to have my money refunded ASAP! Update: THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE! I tried to work with it and purchased my own extra screws to no avail the table is NO GOOD!!! Money back!!!

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.

I don't know much about ping pong. My kids say my play is lousy, What I do know is that I hate fiddling with poor quality and I hate feeling like I've spent too much money. I just spent $70 a week ago on a table top conversion from another maker. I spent an hour just getting the hinges screwed on (the premachined holes were not correct) and then found out the screws were going to scratch the table I was putting it on. SO THIS WEEK: I got fed up and ordered this thing based on reviews and the words "no construction needed." Thank goodness. This is a great piece of equipment for the money. The legs are sturdy and lock into place. It can easily be folded flat again and stored easily. It can be toted by a small person (I am 5feet tall). My kids are 8-10, it is a great size for them. They complained initially that it was smaller than what they had seen elsewhere, frankly, this fits them better than others we have tried out in a store. The surface is well made and the net and fixing posts are sturdy and easy. SO: Quality, Easy, Ready Made, Nice Price, The right size for kids (or adults who just want to play). I note others mention poor packaging. Mine was well packed and was in perfect shape.

Great fun. Quality. Made for children.

Pour ceux qui souhaitent connaître la taille du plateau : 90 x 180 cm environ. C'est parfait pour jouer en loisir, assez long, assez large. On peut facilement jouer à l'intérieur dans un salon ou un garage, car la table ne prend pas trop de place. Le rangement est facilité puisque la table est constituée de deux plateaux avec pieds pliants aisément maniables. Une fois pliée, la table ne nécessite plus qu'un espace de stockage de 90x90x10 cm. Il ne reste qu'à acquérir 2 raquettes et une balle et on peut jouer dès que le paquet arrive. Livraison dans les temps prévus, rien à redire.

We received half the table only. Not sure where the other half is…

Bought this for my 11 and 9 year olds to go in our rec room that wasn't quite big enough for a full size table. The table arrived promptly and was packaged well. The assembly was very straightforward and took a matter of minutes. No instructions were necessary but it was nice that they were included anyways. The size of the table is perfect as it is small enough to fit in our rec room, yet still big enough where we are able to have a fast-paced competitive game. The net and the table themselves are excellent quality compared to some display tables that I have seen at big box stores. One added bonus, is that even though the table is compact in size, it is still the same height as a regulation size table. This makes it much more enjoyable for adults who may want to play. Overall this was an excellent purchase. The whole family has been using it almost constantly since Christmas.

Wer hin und wieder zu Hause (oder auch andernorts) Lust hat, Tischtennis zu spielen oder aber nicht so viel Platz für eine normalgroße Tischtennisplatte, wird mit dieser Variante zufrieden sein! An die etwas anderen Maße gewöhnt man sich schnell - passionierte Spieler:innen werden diese Platte lieben, weil hier die Schlaggenauigkeit trainiert werden kann. + Ruckzuck sind die fertig montierten Beine ausgeklappt und beide Tische zusammengestellt, das Netz mittels Schraubzwingenhalterung fixiert. + Jede der beiden Platten lassen sich einzeln gut tragen und sind schmal genug, um beispielsweise hinter einem Schrank oder in der Werkstatt unauffällig verstaut werden können. + Der Belag ist wie bei den Original-Platten! + Die Beine sind robust und haben kleine Füßchen, so dass die Platten auch auf Terrasse, Parkplatz, Garageneinfahrt und sogar im Garten steht. + Wie auch bei anderen Kunden, war auch bei meiner Platte an der Kante eine kleine "Macke"; da wir dieses Sportgerät aber viel nutzen, würde es vermutlich nicht ausbleiben, dass irgendwann irgendwo Lack abplatzt. + Optisch ein echter Hingucker und lädt zum Spielen ein. Zugegeben war ich zunächst wegen der Größe und dem Gewicht skeptisch, bin aber wirklich glücklich mit diesem Kauf. Ich habe diese Platte im Set mit 4 Schlägern und 8 Bällen bestellt - auch die sind perfekt für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene. Rundum zufriedene fünf Sternchen und eine klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits!

Excelente mesa para jugar e inclusive para otros usos diversos, son un poco pesadas por lo que se sienten de buena calidad y duraderas, aunque no las dejaría al exterior.
