 Great table Dec 06, 2009
By T. Grandon Gill
I received this table last night and assembled it, with the help of my sons, in about 10 minutes. (Assembly consisted of bolting on the 4 wheel assemblies). Within 15 minutes, my sons were playing each other.
The other review I saw on this site commented about the weight, and they are quite correct. The box is very heavy (around 250 pounds) and really requires two or more people to open it and and put it together. Once that is done, however, things get much easier. The table consists of two separate pieces, each of which has its own set of wheels. You can lift up on the side with the fixed legs and move each side like a wheelbarrow. The makes the table much less cumbersome to move around. The pieces line up nicely when put together, and the net that comes with the table clamps on to both sides, which may keep them from sliding apart (the clamp is spring loaded so it doesn't create a solid attachment). So far, we haven't seen any problem with the two halves shifting.
I was very impressed with the construction of the table. The legs and braces are all quite thick (steel, I imagine) and the wheel assemblies are so solid that I cannot imagine that they will ever become deformed, regardless of what weight is put on the table. Each table surface is braced with crossed steel bars underneath. My guess is that these serve to reduce the tendendency to warp on a table placed outside.
We are located in Florida, and our table is on our covered patio (lanai). I choose an outdoor table because I feared what the humidity would do to any wood product that was not intended for outdoor use, even though the roof should prevent rain from falling on it directly.
On another site (Walmart.com) they sell the same model and one of the customers commented that the table was not perfectly level. It seems perfectly level to me (and the fixed legs look as if they can be adjusted with screws on the bottom, though I haven't tried). Being only "recreational" players, my family has not encountered any issues. In fairness, any variation from true level would probably have to be pretty bad before we would notice.
When we bought the table, it was eligible for SuperSaver shipping. When we tried to order it online, however, that option was not available (and we're talking costs in the $150-$175 range). To get this addressed, we needed to call Amazon customer service. (Hint: to find the number, which is better hidden than most state secrets, your best bet is probably to Google it). Once we reached them, however, they were very helpful and credited the shipping back to us. The result was that the final total price we paid (just under $600) was well below what we would have paid at Walmart AND the product was delivered to our door.

Excellent, very durable. Jul 27, 2011
By Happily homeless
If you are looking for an inexpensive, highly durable table to play outdoors or in the garage this is what you want.
The other reviews covered the two piece part of it. One advantage of this is both sides can be folded up and stored tightly against a garage wall.
If you have young boys and want a table that they cannot destroy, this is the unit you are looking for. The legs are solid, very solid steel. The wieght of the unit (compared to other tables) is substantial. This table is easily stored but I would not consider it portable.
The assembly is very, very easy. But you will need help because of the weight.

 Prince Outdoor Table Tennis Table Aug 07, 2010
By sdas
The product was delivered in a box and looked new. However, when I installed it, the surface on one section of the table was bent a bit, so it is not level under where the net is. I was disappointed with the quality. The table looks sturdy and well made otherwise and the price is good compared to what is available from other sources.

 Extremely heavy Aug 26, 2009
By Nadia K.
This table may be just fine, but we hadn't even open it. I was looking for a good quality outdoor ping-pong table, which would be easy to put together, and this one seemed just what I wanted as a present for my husband. What I overlooked, its WEIGHT! Not only we could not put it together, the two of us were not even able to move it at all. Also, we realized, there was no way we could have rolled it on the grass and put it on our lawn, as we planned, especially because of all the rain we've got here in Albany area the soil was a mess. The table's weight will definitely need a more sturdy surface. COSTLY mistake, since we had to call Amazon and send the table back for a steep shipping cost. Amazon was good and arranged a pick-up, but because the mistake was ours, we had to pay for the return. So, if you have a good paved spot and a team of heavylifters, this table maybe for you. Otherwise, find something lighter and pay attention to all the details in the description.
