Review on Competition-Ready STIGA Advantage Professional Table Tennis Table - 10 Min. Assembly, Single Player Playback & Compact Storage! by Justin Puranik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent surface. This is not a cheapo table.

Overall assembly was not difficult, read instructions. One one edge protecting plastic part broke in transport it looks like. Tiny anomalies in the edges but nothing super significant, should be good for school or gym tournaments also, even college. Both halves meet up correctly, they did not for two or three days and then somehow straightened up on their own. Metal frame. Included net and posts are super easy to install and are very adjustable, and net has poles/rods that slide into the clamp poles.Packing and moving: It was superbly packed. The description says it weight more than 100 pounds. I thought that is an exaggeration. It is not. This table is VERY HEAVY. Revain Prime left this in my garage. I unpacked it there and move it into the house with the help of a second person. One person should not attemp moving this. We moved the two halves separately, even then these were a bit heavy but ok to carry. Two halves would not be possible for us to move. There was soft foam between the two opposing surfaces, edges of box had this plastic protectors, and thick wood/cardboard lining protecting all around and top and bottom. The net and wheels are in separate boxes.Instructions: good instructions, once you assemble one wheel set, the rest is a repeat of that, very easy. Look at the instructions a few times, identity all parts. I used two wratcheting wrenches with two different sizes of bits to tighten the nuts.Overall very happy with this table, only wish I had a bigger house or space. It is easy to fold. Must read instructions, as they warn of the mechanism for folding unfolding can catch and get stuck, get damaged unless you follow proper steps. Locking and unlocking (the legs) properly very important for unfolding and folding the legs. The folded hinge should be flush with table underside area before using legs to unfold (when unfolding from vertical folder position). Once learnt it is easy.Wheels and wheel brakes are good and smooth, leveling is adjustable but mine did not need any adjusting. Wheel locks take some force to unlock,. I do not recall any instructions included on locking and unclocking wheels, but the unlock is a part above the assembly, you have to push it forward, away from you, from what I figured out. Please USE YOUR OWN GOOD JUDGEMENT about locking unlocking wheels or contact Stiga.I bought this heavy duty table despite the fact there were lighter, slimmer, thinner, more mobile tables available, but funnily they were pricier.There were one or two king of scuff marks, the box had seen a rough time during transport judging by extra tape here and there. There was a sticky spot on the table (could have been a sticker during manufacturing/building).The material is said to be particle board/wood. But it feels like a composite of some sort. Instructions say to keep away from dampness, water and heat. The white paint feels a bit raized, but doesn't appear to affect play. Now I just need to get people to play with me, and get them off of their %*& phones and tablets.I hope this information is useful. Please use your own best judgement and safety instructions or considerations while moving assembling or using this table. Thank you.
