Folks who have known me for quite some time will know how much I enjoy a game of ping-pong. Well, since my family was coming to stay for Christmas Elisabeth and I decided to purchase a ping-pong table. We started out with the Ventura from Sears but upon opening up the box at my house we discovered that the table was cracked. Stink!! Anyway, we got permission to put it up and use it through Christmas as it was still playable. One really nice thing about this table was that it was really, really easy to assemble. Only 4 wing nuts and we were done.
While waiting the week for the Ventura to be replaced I came across a Stiga Quick Play 3000 Table Tennis Table table at Gart Sports and decided to purchase that one instead. The list price is $350 but we got is on sale for $191. Table seems okay but the setup took over an hour. Yuck! Not sure that it is any better than the Ventura but it was available immediately and at the very least, the table was thicker.
While buying the table I also purchased a couple Butterfly Derek May Table Tennis Paddles. They seem sufficient for the family to get some good games in without feeling that they are at a disadvantage.
