I like this table very much. It is very easy to maneuver and move, as well as fold up and down. My only issue is that there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to compensate for an unlevel floor - I would have expected some kind of leveling mechanism, but there is none. As a result, the table tends to have a gap between the panels, and looks a little warped. I have a handyman friend who is going to install levelers, and then it should be fine, but I would have expected the manufacturer to anticipate this problem.

Took a while to put together, but it is excellent quality, not a cheapy - sturdy, stable, great!

The Good: For outdoor or indoor play - this is a great table. The laminate top doesn't warp in humid weather or stain if it gets wet. The legs are sturdy, and fold up & lock very easily, the panels can be lowered quite easily. The ball really jumps on this surface.
The Bad: The shipping box weighs 150 lbs! This is not an easy box to handle, move or ship. Be sure you check the contents before the delivery truck leaves as the laminate panels can shatter or crack easily if the box is dropped even a few feet or some other item was placed on top of the box. The first table delivered to my house I discovered (after opening it all up) the panels were cracked. Amazon corrected the situation and shipped out a second unit, which arrived perfect.
Be very careful which length bolts go in which holes as they go through the legs, the bracing, and the table joins. It took me almost 3 hrs to assemble. I store it with the cover on my backyard patio. In the end, a great table that will last for years.

We purchased this for our kids and they love it! It requires some patience and time to assemble it, but it is great fun once it's done. Very easy to fold up and store. We store it in our garage and roll it into the driveway to play. High quality item.

I didn't do as much research before buying this table, but after the assemble, ( really isn't that hard, but it does need 2 people when you put on the boards) could not understand why there is no bounce to the table. Bought 3 star balls, tried on different type of floor, then realized maybe it's the table. Long and behold, after some deep research, found that butterfly's outdoor synthetic surface's bounce is extra low.

The table itself is great quality, if you are just learning or starting new, you will have no problem. But for someone who's played for a while and use to a wood surface or regular bounce, this bounce will not work at all. Ping Pong is more skill and agile than brute force, but the low bounce on this surface forces you to either hit the ball very high, or use brute force on each hit. Ended up forced to return to Amazon.

It's true that it takes some time to assemble. But, if you actually read the directions and follow them and don't rush, it will get done. I only needed another person to hold the 1/2 table while it was being attached to the center support... and I am a mom in my 40s. Once assembled, it is a really stable table and just great. It is very good quality and my whole family loves it.

This table took two adults four hours to assemble. A socket wrench is a must. Because playing surface material is thin, special emphasis is needed to ensure that table is level. This is not a table that will take a lot of abuse as its frame is of light construction and will not bear a lot of side to side or downward pressure or leaning. The table was otherwise as advertised and it has a great look. Courteous and prompt delivery with super saver shipping option.

After about a year, this is getting lots of use, has worked very well, and is a great thing to get kids and adults together. The net sags a bit, but otherwise it's almost like new. Great entertainment for the whole family.

Already reviewed this once but I'll say again, we not only enjoy the table but received in a timely manner, in great condition, and have already had a lot of play time on it. It's fabulous! We love the side storage areas for paddles and ping pong balls.

The table is terrific. To put it together, you need a ratcheting screw driver. It needs complete assmebly.
