STIGA Baja Outdoor Table Tennis Table

Update: A big thank you to STIGA for standing by their product and sending me new wheel trucks. I absolutely love this table but the fragile wheel trucks still make me hesitate to give this particular product more than 3 stars. If it had better wheels I would give it 5 stars.I purchased this table a few years ago and for casual outdoor playing it's been fine. The main issue I have with it is the wheel construction. I had to move the table around the patio when I rake leaves and clean up and the wheels would get stuck and buckle under a LOT. Eventually the entire assembly just fell apart and I have to hold the table up with bricks now. If you are going to move it around a lot I don't recommend this table otherwise it's great for casual play.

This table is fine for casual players and is made from high quality materials so it should last a while. However, the bounce is dead and uneven across the table surface. Very annoying if you are used to tables with normal bounce.

Great Table!!!! Easy to assemble. Haven't stopped using the table since we got it last month.However, I have a strange feeling that the table was used because it arrived with quite a few minor scratches and wear on the casters.

Looks very nice, but I received damage, also ball don't bounce the same in all parts of the table

Yes it is HEAVY in the box, definitely a two-person effort to move, and DO need two persons for certain steps of assembly. You have to pay attention to schematics but all parts fit together well. I had played IM table tennis championship at a major western university. I went retail and looked under the tables at the stamped pattern vs. flat/reinforced metal surfaces and aknowledged the superior engineering of others . I read the reviews and comparisons and was ready to bear the brunt of my poor decision making. I saw a holiday super-special at a local retailer, at least $100 less than whatever you are seeing, essentially 1/2 the price of the other brand comparable outdoor table, and couldn't resist. We have three teenage daughters: they are not mechanically inclined, but get the table set up for play or 1-person practice easily. Sometimes it doesn't get put away, hence the outdoor model. Since Christmas 2014, it has played better than I was lead to expect, and proven truly mobile and durable. I would have given a five-star (and for the price I paid, it IS that value) but feel intimidated facing down the criticisms of table tennis connoisseurs. The complaints of uneven play and tone of the bounce seem sharper than warranted to me. Our family enjoys it.

Assembly may be take 2 hours for two.Instruction is very hard to follow because the drawings of hardwares and very busy not realistic (photos should have been used)Two sides do not butt together and stay 1 inch apart.Net bracket is made if low quality plastic and bent under stress.Ball clearly bounces higher along the sides and rear edge where the frame reinforces and stiffens the surface.Ball bounces less inside the tableThis can be very annoying to sensitive players

Very nice nice table and very ncie price .

i bought this table from a chain sporting goods store during xmas and the price was right with the black friday discounts. most of the reviews were so so but some even gave 5 stars? i didn't open the box until spring because it's cold where i live. i thought the install wasn't too bad although the drawings had alot to be desired. the problem was when i finished the assembly and folded down the table the two sides would not match up. i thought oh it just needs some leveling and fine tuning, not! i used a six foot framing level and got the table perfect side to side and front to back but the inside corner was 1 inch too high. i tried everything i could think of to fix the problem but no luck. finally i drilled a new hole in the support tube from the wheel to the table to lower the table. it worked but made the table a quarter inch too low so i had to add some washers under the wheel support and bingo it's level. why would anyone in there right mind pay 500.00 for a product that they have to modify? i guess i did but i had no choice. don't make the same mistake i did. don't buy this! oh and by the way, the ball bounce sucks!
