“Solid table all around. It is an outdoor, so the bounce is different than wood, but I haven't noticed any significant dead spots as others have mentioned. The net so far seems to be taught and looks like it will hold up. The clamps and how the table sits together are a bit weak for my liking, our concrete is slightly uneven for drainage and there isn't much built in for leveling, especially in the middle, but I will likely add my own clamps. What is outstanding for this table is the assembly. With as much as I've assembled in my life, this table was almost completely built. Popped open the legs, bolted on the wheel legs with 2 easy bolts per leg, clamped on the net and was done. 15 minutes at most to playing, if not less. Overall a very solid table and would purchase again.”
“Ordered as a Christmas gift. Delivery was arranged very easily through amazon. On arrival there was a significant cut in the box however the table was very well packed and this did not matter (we inspected package before accepting).Assembly was a dream. Eight bolts and thats it, then attach the clamps and net. 25 minutes because I was in no particular hurry.the two table halves line up nicely and clamp together well. There is a slight sag in the middle where the tables line up (like 2-3mm) and its in the middle only. Seems this is unavoidable as there is no support for the two halves there.Table folds and rolls nicely. Easy to operate.Table is a big hit with the adults and kids. Blue surface is a nice change from our old green table from my youth. Surface plays very well to us amateurs. This will be in the basement during the winter and then get some time outdoors during the summer.Pleased with purchase.”
“My old indoor ping-pong table (which we used outside) finally fell apart recently. I did a lot of research on outdoor tables. I was looking for a good quality table that was not too expensive -- tough job, huh? I found this Joola table here on Amazon and checked out reviews and specifications on other sites, as well. I even called the Joola headquarters and the person I spoke to said they had this same table set up in their office for their employees. So, I bought it a few weeks ago and set it up today, Thanksgiving Day, so my visiting family could start using it. Assembly was a breeze. All the parts were there, no damage at all, and the instructions were very good (even though there wasn't really much to assemble). I think it took about 30 minutes in total -- then we were playing. You do really need 2 people, at one point, when lifting the 2 sides to an upright position. We love the looks and the "bounce". We use this table in an outside covered patio, in South Florida -- a tough place for anything outside. Looking forward to a long-lasting relationship.- Alan”
“It is a nice table that plays well. Assembly was easy as advertised by other customers. The main drawback is how the table folds for storage. The two halves of the table are not connected; what connect then is the net. It means several things:- when playing on uneven ground (this is an outdoor table, and we will use it mostly in the yard), it is a struggle to find a position where the two halves align perfectly so you can tighten the net- There is a lot of strain on the table at the connection due to the net (again, when it is on uneven ground, which will be always). I don't know how the table will hold to this. Also, how will it hold to kids jumping on the table for short balls.- Storage is complicated. You need to unscrew both sides of the net to separate the halves. For setup from folded position, it's even more difficult: you have to find even ground, then screw and tighten the net.- So so far we've never folded it. It's an outdoor table, but it would be probably better off folded. The design may thus affect product life.All in all we're happy with it, it's a new table. Let's see if my fears materialize :-). But I thought it would be worthwhile sharing this description of the design to customers.”
