Im not gonna say this table its the best out there, but what im sure of is that for the price (got it for 237$ plus 100$ shipping) its one of the best choice for a beginer in the table tennis world, for me the table seems to be a litle bit weak, but then again i dont use it that much, (only 4 times a week or less) so the table has probe itselft to be a good asset.
