Compact Table Tennis

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.
