MD Sports Tennis Table

I agree it is not the quickest table to assemble but it was not complicated. I assembled it in two days about three hours each day but that is because I like to read the instructions multiple times. The power drill helped a lot but be careful and be gentle with the power drill as warned in the instructions. Once assembled, the table looks nice and I have gotten closer to my kids who play with me. The price was awesome like others have stated in the reviews. I was lucky because a few days after I purchased it, it became unavailable. I am very glad to have purchased this table as it plays so well and it looks really nice. Only other advice, buy some good ping-pong balls. The two that came with this table, do not bounce too well. The paddles are good but still, I bought some extra ones.

This ping pong table is awesome and once we got it set up we haven't had any issues with moving it around, any chipping/breaking parts, or problems with the table being uneven at the mid-line. HOWEVER! This is taking into account a few things. The table takes at least a couple hours to put together because there's a lot of pieces and each side of the table has two pieces that need to be connected (so total of 4 rectangular blocks to make the full table). If the table is not aligned well the table will be uneven at the midline (but you just need to tighten or lessen the screws to even it out). Some of the indentations where the screws go are not perfectly aligned with the brackets they give you so I had to drill at slightly different spots to fit the holes of the bracket (which did not affect the outcome of the table at all its just easier to drill into a pre-made indentation). Aside from those couple of things the table is Great especially compared to other options at $300+ price range. I would totally recommend as long as you have the time and maybe another person to help you lift it up cause its heavy. And LASTLY! I saw someone in the reviews complaining about the balls and paddle that come with it and thats a bunch of crap cause the paddles and ball are perfectly fine seeing as though they come free. If you want new paddles and balls then you can get em but its not necessary at all.

This table was one of the least expensive options available.. so my expectations were not high. I did not realize, for an example, that the table itself would be 4 pieces, not 2. Didn't give it much thought actuall. Given that. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality. Don't fool yourself.. This is not your public rec center grade table on heavy-duty roll-away casters. This is a basement or rec room grade table. Not meant to be jumped on of have boxes of storage stuff left on it. Its not going to serve as a work bench or an ironing table. This is a light-duty ping pong table that should be folded up if not in use and put aside. Pros. Fun table. It works! Light weight. Finished assembly looks halfway decent! Assembly is extensive but manageable. (Keep track of bits.. no extras provided!!) Very reasonable cost Cons 4 piece table assembly means there's a seam down the middle white stripe. The straps included to hold these two pieces together are not adequate for a completely smooth seam. (When the ball hits the uneven seam, it will deflect) I have built a few things in my life.. and this is not difficult to fix.. When I break this table down next time, I will add 4x1 strips to the backside along.the seam and glue/screw to the table pieces for a smoother stronger seam. If you expect to use this table outdoors.. even under an awning or such.. don't expect a real long life out of it. Even with a cover, I think this table is susceptible to moisture and the elements. I'll be using this table in that fashion.. and if I get 3 or 4 yrs out of it in our mild climate, it will have served my expectations well! The included paddles and balls are kind of junky.. They work for first time players.. but the balls sound hollow and the paddles feel awful.. plan to invest in a mid range set at Big 5 or similar.. I purchased some Kettlers and they are fine for fun rec play.

I would buy it again, great price for what it is

This is probably the worst thing I’ve ever purchased on Amazon and that’s saying a lot. My son is a huge ping pong fan and plays a ton. We’ve had many older tables gifted to us and they were great, but we wanted to give him a nice lookout new table. We purchased this one and loved it at first. We quickly started noticing a few things. Once we started using the solo play feature, where you flip up one side of the table, it was difficult to get it straight again. Every time we used it, it became a little less flush. Just started getting a little wonky. Fast forward a few months when we decided to put it on outside under our covered patio. Our weather has been in the 70s and low 80s with one week where it was in the high 80s. All this to say the table warped dramatically in less than 2 weeks of being outside. For the price, I am shocked at the quality and the fact that you cannot place this outside. The table is completely curbed and now looks like a V with a sharp incline towards the center. It also curves into the middle. It’s just terrible. I can’t return it anymore BUT nobody should purchase this table unless you will keep it indoors and never use the feature where you flip it up on one side. You’ve been warned.

We received the package on time. It was a heavy 135lb box but perfectly packed. The heavier tabletop comes in four pieces so is easy to remove and handle. All the hardware and paddles with net were provided, with nothing missing. I used a battery drill set on a lower torque for all the screws. The instructions were clear but required a little studying to make sure all the tops and parts were oriented correctly. But all the screw holes and parts aligned perfectly. I did use another adult to help me do the final after assembly lifting but after that, everything rolls and stores with ease. We like the backboard feature for single person practice. This is a tournament size table that is sturdy, looks sharp, bounces well and is versatile for one, two or four players (get extra paddles and balls for more than two players). I am very impressed with the product, especially given there were other options available for far more cost.

The Good: Shipping box well made with solid protective panels to prevent damage. Outer cardboard was damaged but table tops were not. Size is fun to play in a limited space. Foam pads protect the surface of the table top being used. Vinyl coating reduces ball bounce but that's good since it's a smaller table than regulation. The Bad: Nowhere on the site does it state that this is for Indoor Use Only but several stickers on the product do state that is the case. Unfortunately that's what I purchased it for and it's not worth lugging this to a return shipper. Two of the four panels arrived slightly warped and the three hinges per section are not enough to level them out. When the ball hits the center line seam it bounces so that it's impossible to hit a return shot. I'm going to replace the provided hinges with piano hinges which should solve this defect. It could also use a couple more foam pads to provide stability. Predrilled hinge holes did not align exactly with hinges provided but they still attached properly. Even though I was careful attaching hinges the screws still protrude a small amount on the play surface. Overall it played well enough to keep us entertained for quite a while just when testing it out. Even if it only lasts a couple of years I think it was worth the cost. If I can fix the hinge situation.

Good quality folds up nicely to store kids love it
