 Nice table Nov 21, 2008
By Y. Xu
I bought this table over other brands because it gets a thicker MDF board insert between the aluminum surfaces. There are three different models of outdoor TT table from Stiga namely Equinox, Equator, and Eclipse. The table top should be the same for all three models. The difference between this table and Equator or Eclipse is that this one gets a center rail support while the other two don't. As a result, this one might be a little more stable, and lighter to open and close. I don't see much difference in bounce between this table and an indoor type wooden table, but the surface friction seems to be less. The assembly took me about 2 to 3 hours. I was shocked to see the table came in a box that was only about 8 inches thin. When the box was opened, I found two boards, a bunch of steel poles, and two plastic bags of screws. If you don't want to mess with assembling, I guess Equator or Eclipse is the way to go. Reviewers of the other two models said they started to play in 30 min or less. I have played on this table for a couple of weeks now, no complaint at all. It is easy to push around, light and smooth to open and close, and very sturdy and playable.

Pleased with table Oct 09, 2007
By J. Harne
We purchased this outdoor table from Amazon for our patio area outside and promptly received it. Unpacking and setup takes two adults for the last bit of assembly (lifting) and a few hours total time, but before the evening was done we were playing on it. The table has an aluminum surface on both the top and bottom. We own a brick patio that is not perfectly level so we have to adjust the position of the table to accommodate. It could use a better leveling system but seems pretty sturdy and our ten year old can fold open and close and lock down very easily. We recently ordered a cover as we noticed that water will lay on the support center bottom area after a rain producing some discolored water and we hope to keep this for many years. From a playability factor we cannot tell the difference in bounces from this table to our indoor table. An expert might be able to tell, but the weather is honestly a bigger factor outside than this table. Overall we think the Equinox is an excellent value.

 Don't leave it outdoors Oct 03, 2010
By Frank
I have bought this table a year ago and this summer we left it outdoors for several months. I am sorry to report that the table did not hold up well. The aluminum top is starting to lift off the particle board on one of the corners as rain water has bloated the particle board - a design flaw I believe, because the aluminum is not wrapped around the pb. The plastic corner protectors, too, are not desgined to stay on the corners easily. The net is cheaply made and the string to tighten it had torn shortly after we bought the table. The color has kept up well. I would recommend not leaving this table outdoor for long, or to cover it.
 poor quality, not durable, poor guarantee Jun 02, 2011
By C B-Smith
We bought this table, which was advertised as 'All Weather' and 'Outdoor' and one of Stiga's most expensive Ping Pong because, according to the product information, it can be left outside and would withstand humidity and water/adverse weather conditions. It is simply not true; in fact, this table showed signs of rusting within 2 months; the rivets were almost eaten away by rust and as a result, the legs snapped off their attachments after 5 months. We moved the table under cover realizing that if we didn't, it would not last even one year.
Now, just 14 months old, the table is collapsing and today, we took the decision to cut off the top and have a new base made; the table is actually dangerous now and likely to fall apart if someone leans against it. The store ESCALADE SPORTS have been difficult in helping us with the guarantee - they gave us a link, supposedly to a claim form, but it turned out to be a link only to the Stiga website. Basically ESCALADE SPORTS do not give a damn - so apart from not recommending any Stiga product, I also strongly recommend that you do not buy anything from that particular store.
