We advise you to stay away from cheap table tennis tables, as they're made of poor-quality materials and won't offer you a great game.

If you want the table tennis table you're getting to meet your needs, you should consider certain features. Also, before getting a table tennis table, think about the place you'll put it in and how often you'll use it.

Here are the most important features to consider when picking the right table tennis table:

• Playing Area - Always measure the area you want to put the table tennis table in to make sure it fits and you have enough space to play. Apart from that, make sure the table fits through your doorway, hallways and stairways.
• Table Top Thickness - If the table top is thicker, the bounce will be more consistent. If the table top is thin, you'll experience less bounce. It is a known fact that thick table tops are resistant.
• Rail/Apron - If you want the structure of the table to be sturdy, it's good to go for heavy steel rails.
• Legs - If you want the table to be sturdy and not move when playing, it's good to go for steel legs. You can choose between round and square legs, but our advice is to choose square legs, as they're more structurally sound.
• Wheels - If the wheels are large, you'll be able to move the table tennis table more easily.
• Playback and Storage Positions - Make sure the table allows you to play by yourself by raising half of it. In this way, if you're a beginner, you'll be able to practice and learn the game easily.
• Adjustable Feet - Adjustable feet are great for table tennis tables that are used outdoors, as they allow you to make sure the table is level, even if the surface it's placed on is not.
• Net and Posts - Most table tennis tables come with a net and posts in different colors and textures.
• Accessory Holder - There are models that feature built-in accessory holders.
• Assembly - There are table tennis tables that come preassembled and others that can be assembled in maximum ten minutes with no tools.

Table tennis tables are usually portable. However, before getting one, you need to decide if you'll leave it set up permanently or will store it after you're done with it. If you want to store it after every game, it's good to go for one that is easy to assemble and that also features rollers.

You should also decide if you want to use it outdoors or indoors. Of course, you can use an indoor table tennis table for a couple of hours outdoors, but not for long. If it's exposed too much to the sun, the table top will be damaged. Even though outdoor table tennis tables are more expensive, you should get one if you plan on leaving it outside for days.

As we said, table thickness is one of the most important features to consider. You can find different table thicknesses available, and you'll see that the thicker ones are more expensive than thin ones. In this situation, you should know that 12-mm-thick table tennis tables should be avoided, 16-mm won't offer a good bounce, 19-mm should be the minimum to consider, 22-mm offers very good bounce and 25-mm offers exceptional bounce is are great for competitions.

Table tennis tables are really easy to set up, and they usually take up to 10 minutes to be assembled. However, there are models that come already assembled, and you just have to place them in the area you want. If it needs assembly, the manufacturer's instructions will be enough for you to understand exactly how to do it.

Always check the table tennis table's legs and make sure the pieces are secured as they should be. If you get an outdoor table tennis table, you should always cover it when it's not in use to prevent it from cracking.

To maintain the table tennis table, you shouldn't place heavy items on it and should clean it from time to time with a soft cloth.
