i got a table from marketplace 6 months ago. Spent $250 on it including air tasker delivery. it didn't last long. Board warped. I couldn't find any decent boards now around my area as well. Unlike gym equipment or other market place regular items, these tables from marketplace are having significant quality issues.

Thinking of getting a new item this time as kids showing interest in spending time on it.

    About $200 too much. I've seen many for free.

    Board warped

    Is it stored in an area exposed to moisture/condensation?

      Board warped may be due to moisture. but that was not me. previous owner.

      for anything less than 150/200 not much quality, some are much worse like collecting dump.

      will keep an eye though.

    I play and yes recommend a table that folds this way. For budget tables, just have to watch for moisture.You can get many years of fun playing on it. If you are frequently playing, get a robot.

    I bought this exact model at least 5 years ago and no issues.

    Has held up really well through pretty heavy use and storage in my garage, although was a bit fiddly to assemble/build initially.

    The included bat and balls are rubbish. The net is decent but I did eventually upgrade it a year or so ago.

    I wouldn't buy a table with a top less than 19mm thick and it is really important to avoid moisture to prevent warping.

    Thank you.

    Pro tables are 25mm.

    Since you had ping pong in your post, anything less is fine.

    • CrypticM on 22/09/2025 - 13:43

      Haha. Got it. I am not a pro. 19mm is fine for me.

        I've owned the same name 25mm table (competition requirements) for nearly 2 decades. Who knows if it's even from the same factory now or not, but it's still fine. Bought new.

    I purchased a Double Happiness 16MM Table Tennis Table about 3 years ago.

    Quality seems to be good but it is left indoors.

    We aren't serious players.

    You can get a cheap outdoor table for around $500 which is a bit more versatile
