STIGA Advantage Series Indoor Ping Pong Table, Foldable Table Tennis Table - 13, 15, 18, and 25mm Tabletops - Quickplay 10 Minute Assembly - Playback Mode - Recreational- to Tournament-Level

We received the ping-pong table in a crate that weighed 200 pounds gross. And because the crate had some dings, tears, and dents from its journey with UPS, we were very pleased to discover that the table itself was in pristine condition once we got it out of the shipping container. So, that the first point: the quality and care associated with the shipping process by the vendor are apparent. The shipping crate was a fortress of protection and this best ensures that the journey is only one-way. The setup for the table is very easy. I think it took me less than thirty minutes after unpacking the table from the shipping container to get it fully assembles and up on its wheels. I only used a nut-driver and box-end wrench ... I think around 9/16ths. You will need two people, as they advise, to easily turn the table over onto its legs. Once on its wheeled legs, the two-part table will fold and stow away very compactly up against a wall with ease. Getting it back into position for play is just as easy. Both of these processes can be accomplished by a single person. The engineering is well thought out for ergonomics. No heavy lifting at all. Once we got the table set up, my wife and I played a game to try out the stability of the platform. The table was rock solid. The official table markings are a silk screen that should endure for years of play. The clamp-on net is very easy to install and take down. We are both very pleased with this purchase. We have always loved racquet sports--tennis, racquetball, and pickleball--and having this ping-pong table now promises to bring an indoor joy of more racquet play.

I am very satisfied with this ping pong table. It was delivered within days, and the delivery man was very nice in getting it into the utility room so that I could unpack it from there. The color is a pretty blue, much better for my decor than the standard green that I remember from childhood. What I liked the best was that my sister and I were able to attach the caster legs fairly simply once we found the proper socket wrenches from the garage. I am used to manufactures sending these along with the product, but they were not included here. That would be my only complaint. Two people are needed to get the table in working order--not because it is difficult (it came fully assembled except for the caster-wheeled legs), but because it is large and very heavy. I checked prices and found this one to be quite reasonable for a quality item and one that is almost totally pre-assembled. That was a must when I was considering a purchase. On my must list was the ability to play solo and to be able to fold for storage if needed. I haven't tried either of these options yet, but I am glad that they are available. I also purchased The Upstreet Box Set: 4 Ping Pong Paddles which arrived a few days after the table. It, too, is a quality product. We are using the table every night during our "happy hour" and having a lot of fun. My cats are enjoying it, too, as they love watching the game and acting as "interference" when they settle on the table and bat at balls that come their way. They want to play as well! I highly recommend this table and am so glad that I didn't buy the pre-assembled table that I had seen earlier for double the price. You won't regret this purchase if you are looking for a quality, regulation sized ping pong table that is almost ready to play on right out of the box. Just a postscript: it is not intended for outside use.

From the outset: My delivery appointment got screwed up, but the trucker got it here less than a full day late, so not bad. . .. Out of the box: The table is well packed, and well protected. There was damage to the box outside which seemed to have cut into some wood -- but the company has actually packed the table inside a cardboard box that's reinforced with wood (or pressboard) at edges and on the sides. Very helpful -- the table came out looking just fine. From there: The claims that's it's very easy to set up are absolutely true. You literally just put the table halves upside down on the floor, open the leg assemblies (very simple), and put 8 bolts through metal legs and braces -- no confusion is possible here -- and tighten them up. Then you flip the table halves, put them together -- very easy to move the halves on the two wheeled legs -- and clamp on the net where they join. My one concern about assembly was that just rolling the two halves together might not create a level table across the join. But it got very close to perfect before the net clamps, and the clamps do a good job of finishing that off. On my floor, there was no need to level, but the legs have levelers just in case. The "finished" product is very solid, looks good, and plays very well. Good bounce, etc. The whole family found ourselves smiling and laughing within moments. I'm sure that a much more expensive table from a good manufacturer must have some advantages. But for a reasonably priced, non-professional table, we are very happy with this one!

This is a quality ping pong table that my family has already gotten a lot of use out of. I highly recommend it. I was worried about how much time it would take to assemble, seeing as how I procrastinated and only had a couple of hours on Christmas Eve to assemble it for a Christmas morning surprise. They are serious when they say 95% assembled. I think it took me and my wife about an hour and a half to get everything unpacked, sorted, and built. The moving mechanisms move very easily. I was afraid going from level playing surface to upright (to save space) would be difficult, jerky, or could pinch fingers. It's very smooth and easy. The wheels on the table make it very easy to move. I really like that I have a full size table that I can set up in about 2 minutes, but can also fold up very easily and store it out of the way just as quickly. It even moves easily on carpet. The box is heavy and bulky. I appreciate the effort they go through to ensure that the table itself doesn't get dented, but it makes moving it and disposing of it difficult. I paid the extra $20 for the table to be delivered to my room of choice, and since that involved a flight of stairs it was money very well spent. The delivery was about 2 hours later than the 3 hour window I was given, but I blame the delivery service for that - obvious that has nothing to do with the quality of the table. I had to use a large knife to cut the box once everything was put together because it was too big/bulky to easily get out of the basement and out to the curb for recycling. It might be more manageable if you have two people to work together to carry it out. Again, this in no way detracts from the quality of the table - I say this more so you have a good idea of what you'll need to plan for. I'm very pleased with this purchase and the quality of this table. I think you'll be glad with your decision if you choose to purchase it.

I purchased the Stiga Advantage after comparing it to the Joola indoor ping pong table. The professional review writers said that the Stiga was sturdier in terms of weight and the wheels, so I decided that the $20 extra was worth it. The Stiga arrived in a large flat one piece box and was carried into my house by two deliverymen. My wife and I were able to push and pull the box, and then slide it down the stairs to the basement. Once we pushed it to the room in the basement, I was able to remove the contents myself. The contents were well protected by the packaging, so I did not have any damaged parts. There are two identical ends of the table that you assemble separately, and then bring together at the very end. In order to assemble the table, you basically just have to attach the 4 sets of wheels to the legs (2 on each table part). The instructions say to use a wrench, but it could have been better by giving the actual size wrenches that were needed. In reviewing other consumer reviews, I knew to get a 14 mm wrench and and 1/2 wrench. Those were the only tools I needed, as one is used to turn the nut the bolt on one end and the other to hold the nut in place. Once I had all 4 wheels attached, I had my wife help me turn over the two table parts, one at a time, and then pushed the two table parts together. I then unfurled the net and clamped it on both sides, which was very quick and easy. At first one end of the table was a bit higher than the other end, but after some adjustments to the knobs on the stationary legs I was able to make the entire table even. The instructions say that only 10 minutes is necessary to assemble, and while that is likely true, I took my time taking the pieces out carefully and making sure I was doing everything right. It probably took me about 1/2 hour to put it together, as I did it mostly myself. Once it was fully assembled, it was time to play. The table plays well for an entry level table at that price, and it is indeed very sturdy. It has a very nice appearance with the blue table top. Because the table top is thinner than some other tables out there, you will not get a huge bounce than those tables, which are considerably more expensive. However, we bought our table just for family play, not tournament play. Thus, the lack of a higher bounce was a sacrifice I was willing to make for this price. We've only had it set up for about a week, so I can't speak to its durability at this stage, but so far so good.

I debated amongst many tables from better-known brands but settled on this one based on the solid reviews and ease of assembly. It’s very heavy and sturdy and getting the box into position is a 2-person job. Assembly is not as quick as advertised but it’s really quick and you’re up and playing inside of half an hour. The table feels very sturdy. The legs seem solid and well-constructed and the playing surface offers an adequate level of bounce based on its thickness. I don’t know this brand but the table looks cool and is shockingly easy to break down for storage. I haven’t used the feature whereby you can play on your own but, based on the simple assembly, it’d be easy to get it into position. Getting the net set up is a little tricky with these little strings and whatnot but it’s easy to secure the net to the table for the right tension. My only grievance with this table would be that it doesn’t come with storage for balls and paddles. But having the table delivered to me rather than hauling it out of the store and getting it home outweigh that minor inconvenience. We just leave the equipment on the table. I probably need to Google how to clean the table as it picks up minor blotches or whatever; I’d like to get back that super-new look. Several months in and I’m very pleased with this purchase. I’d highly recommend this table for fun for all ages.

TL;DR: If you want a good mid-grade table for home use this is a good decision. Just got done setting up this table after the scheduled delivery (which is such a good idea for large items like this!) and I must admit I am impressed. Pros: - Price: It is a "medium level" table for sure but the construction quality is nice and it's $400 which is not that much. - Install: As other reviewers have stated it's 8 bolts which is insanely easy to other Ping Pong table installations I have done in the past. - Quality: It is a MID-GRADE TABLE! Do not expect professional status anything! But, this table is well built and bounces like it should. Again, this is not a professional set up but for home/rec use it is totally reasonable and what you would expect (if not better than) for the price. - Two piece design: I have never owned a 2 piece table and am now realizing I am quite dumb for not buying one of these sooner because it takes up significantly less space than a convention fold up and is way easier to move when folded. - Net clips: This, again, is me just always buying low grade tables in the past but these net clips are freaking sweet as they not only level the middle of the table perfectly on both sides but take about 3 seconds to install each side making assemble and breakdown hilariously quick and easy. - One person assembly: I put the table together by myself in about 15 minutes. I wouldn't recommend a smaller/not strong person to attempt a single person assembly but if you can pick up each side of the table by yourself fairly easily you will be fine. - Packaging was great and despite damage to the box my table did not suffer any major damage. Cons: - The net came with a big rip in it (see pics) and is of lesser quality than other pieces included with table. - Getting a ping pong table shipped will probably always result in a tiny bit of damage at the least. I got lucky and only have a few small knicks on the bottom side of the table and a slightly ripped net but others seem to have chipped tops, etc. I did want to add a bit of info for those of you considering this table: - If you want a table for your home, don't want to go buy it in person (because you are lazy or don't have a car big enough), and have ~$400 to spend I really think this is a great table for the money. - I have owned a few tables over the years but always in the $200-$300 range and this is a HUGE step up from those in all respects. - I would suggest putting the two braces and one bolt through the wheel side of the bottom bracket assembly when putting them on. It makes the whole situation much easier (see pics for explanation). - I would also suggest to be vigilant and NOT OVER TIGHTEN the bolts. Once your washer starts to deform you are good to go and anything further will lose you sturdiness.

I'm happy with this table. It was easy to assemble. It is very easy for one person to maneuver one half of the table, it rolls well on the wheels. It's easy to fold up and move around, and it's easy to fold down and set up. I had a folding table made by Harvard Sports prior to this Stiga table, and the table from Harvard sports was much more difficult for one person to manuever and store away because the halves of the table stayed connected when the table was folded up, so you had to move the entire table around to push it out of the way. The Harvard sports table had much smaller wheels too, maybe 2". This table by Stiga is much easier for one person to move since you can move half the table at a time, and the 4" wheels roll over imperfections in the floor much better. The table arrived in good condition and it looks good and plays fine for me (recreational player). I'd buy this table again. I paid the extra $20 for any room delivery into my basement, because it's pretty heavy when it's all together in the shipping box.

La mesa llego en excelente estado y se ve de muy buena calidad. Viene pre armada y tarde como 30 minutos en armarla por lo que rapido se puede empezar a disfrutar. El ping Pong es una excelente actividad de diversion y convivencia con la familia y amigos. La marca Stiga es garantia de calidad.

Two weeks in, this table has been amazing. Assembly was a breeze but as others are saying it’s incredibly heavy so you’ll need to plan its transport. Other than that its quality is top-notch and I’m very pleased with the purchase. The folding mechanism works great and moving the halves out of the way is easy. So glad I decided to go with this table.

This is an excellent quality table. I expect it to last many years. It is very well constructed. If you are considering a cheaper table, spend the extra few hundred dollars and get this one. It folds up easily and quickly, and of course it sets up in seconds as well. I was concerned about wear and tear on the chassis when I was considering a cheaper until. This one is solid!

Wow, this is a great table! It took me about 30 min to assemble (and I got two left hands) and so far it is very solid, but easy to shift around the basement. The kids love it.

Ordered this Ping Pong table for the kids (and adults) to play with in the basement. Nice quality product. Easy to assemble. Took my son and I about 20 minutes to assemble including moving the sections to the basement. Easy to move around and fold up as well. Sturdy powder coated steel legs and easy net mounting system. I have the space to leave it setup but with the wheel system easy to flip it closed and roll out of the way. Warning though the box is very heavy that it comes in so be prepared when it get's delivered. I found it easiest to take apart just inside my front door and take down the two table halves and parts boxes individually. Two people can easily manage taking 1/2 of the table up and down stairs. When assembled the unit is very sturdy. Note it does not come with any paddles or ping pong balls so be sure to order those as well. Very happy with the purchase and the price I paid when I compared it to similar models at that price point seemed to be the best design and quality for the bang.
