Advantage Series Ping Pong Tables - 13-25mm Tabletops - Quickplay 10 Minute Assembly - Playback Mode - Tournament Level Options

This arrived well packaged and without damage, important for an item that weighs 150lbs or so. It seems to be good quality and the folding features works great. Only issue is the quality of the fasteners and tool that came with it, which is terrible. Most of the bolts heads stripped and I had to put clamps in all joints until I get better bolts and nuts, as the kids did not want to wait!

Purchased 13mm version. Come with one of the trim damaged… If you have to choose this brand, go with 15mm. Not only better quality board, but also better net system. Net system on 13mm very hard to keep straight and very hard to adjust height of the net

Novice player, wanted a table for kids to enjoy and get off their device screens and for family. Bought the table with 20% off due to Amazon's Prime Day special sale. Chose Stiga over Joola and others due to Stiga having less complaints on customer service than others. Elected to have the delivery to 1st room inside so no extra charges there, free delivery. Two men delivered and handled the box with care. Did a great job getting it into my basement. I politely asked if they can move it into next room and they were kind enough to do so. YMMV for others but mine was a straight shot from one to another. The box was in excellent condition. Once opened, I see the two halves with the playing surface are facing each other, this helps reduce damage. Any damage would only result in the underside surface and/or the corners. Assembling is a piece of cake. Literally assembles in 15 to 20 minutes. All the screwed in parts from factory are perfect, didn't see any loose screws, crooked assembly, etc. Locking clip for the folded up halves, perfect fit, locks and unlocks without any rubbing. The adjustable leg bottoms also spin freely, no issues there. Two little issues that I did have with the table was the surface. There is a small 1/8" dent near the side by the where the net goes (closer to center) on surface and also finger prints on surface. The dent clearly happened during production, as there are no "fresh" damage like exposed material. It's coated in same paint as the rest of of table surface. It would have been nice if QA caught it early and filled it in prior to painting. It no way affects play because it is close to the net but still unsightly and frustrating because it is a new purchase. The finger prints appear to be there during the production as well, I can't wash it off or clean in any way. Looks like it was there, after the paint but and then coated over with final protective coat? Not going to do an exchange because it's a bit of a pain and like I said above, due to where the dent is and a few prints, I think can live with it. If there were more damage that affects play, I'd definitely go and request a new table. In hindsight, I think I may have chosen the thicker 3/4" Stiga table. This is ok for family play and will do the job for us for the time being. I went cheaper because I was not sure how younger kids will treat the table and didn't want to spend more only to have it damaged. If I were buying, didn't have kids around, and have more experience, definitely thicker surface. Giving Stiga table 3 stars, due to the disappointing flaws. If it came perfect, I'd give it 4 stars. FYI, Stiga offers free dozen 3 star balls for reviews. I'll update the review to let others know if they back it up. UPDATE 8/17/19: I received the dozen 3 star balls from Stiga. I emailed Stiga, I received a reply back shortly regarding the balls being sent out. The balls then came pretty quick, maybe within 10 days of me contacting them. Thumbs up for Stiga being prompt on connecting with their customers.

I would give it 3.5 stars. The table is not too sturdy. The net we got was short. The a couple of screws have also come off. Ok for the price. There might be better options.

Over all I like this ping pong table. The assembly was easy and it appears to be solid. I say a generous 4 since we do like it and enjoy using it. The only downfall to this item is a very bad design flaw. We got the Advantage Lite which only has a 1/2 thick table top. I assume that is why there is support bracing on the underside. All of this support is attached with #6 screws. #6 screws are not big enough to bite into the particle board table top. A lot of the screws were lose and some were out completely when I received it. After putting them back in, taking care not to strip the holes, I thought we were in business. After just an hour or so of use, the crews started falling out. It was an easy fix by replacing the screws with #8 1 1/4 wood screws. If the manufacture would attach the support bracing with #8 screws, I think this make this a very solid table and one that people could enjoy right out of the box without having to make "repairs". I admit I did not reach out to customer support yet, since the fix was much easier / quicker than anything they could have done.
