JOOLA Regulation Table Tennis Conversion Top with Foam Backing and Net Set - Full Sized MDF Ping Pong Table Top for Pool Table - Quick and Easy Assembly - Foam Backing to Protect Billiard Table

Received my conversion top yesterday. As many other's described there was damage to the box and, consequently damage to the table. However, Joola packs the table and ships it so the side of the box that rests on the floor of the truck, pallet, warehouse has the middle or connecting part of the conversion top (the part that goes under the net. So, you really cannot see the damage and does not affect the play of the table. The table's actual thickness of MDF material is 9/16" but add the rubber backing to bring it closer to 3/4'. Still, a very good mid-grade table. When I set this on my pool table I had a bit of sag. Now, the top is heavy, but the leather pockets on my table are not flush with the rails, they actually are raised a bit which gives it a nice look. Add to that, I left the cover on my pool table for protection so that adds a bit.So here is what I did to compensate for any sag, In my case it worked perfect. You may find you need to only glue 3 high instead of 4 high if you try this. Or, you may want to use 2x4 or 1x2 strips of pine. I just re-used what was already there.......1. After the table was unpacked there was 4 thin and long pieces of unfinished compressed particle board. I simply cut each in half to make 8 thin and half as long pieces.2. I then used wood glue and 2 clamps and glued 4 pieces together and let set as directed (gorilla wood glue about 30 minutes) and then repeated this step for the remaining 4 pieces.3. I placed then long ways on the table so that the middle of each length is under the net, of course I spread them out to a nice even spacing.I DID GET A NET...IT WAS IN THE INVISIBLE BOX IN THE PACKAGING!! After thinking for at least 2 minutes that I got screwed and didn't get the net, there it was in a smallish box. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT JOOLA PLACE A GREEN OR ORANGE STICKER ON THIS BOX. Ok, having said that, the net is actually not bad it sets up nice, but don't try to make it taught because the string (see picture) that Joola uses to lace through the top of the net is really poor. On initial setup, the string actually began to fray and split and I am hanging on to a thin strand now. Not a problem for today, but when I will need to add more tension, I will snap the string. So, for now I am going to just see if I can use some Kite string (which is usually much stronger) and tie it to the end of the existing string and carefully thread it through the top of the net. I also order the JOOLA WM Table Tennis Net Set which Joola claims is their top of the line net. I'll use the pro-net and have the stock net as backup.Overall, this is a nice conversion top. It is heavy enough to stay put and the rubber backing also helps with that. The black finish is appealing to me. I am happy with my decision to purchase this item.

Love it! Great deep color, nice thickness. Great bounce, great sound, consistent side to side. Looks cool.Our basement pool table wasn't getting much use, so after an evening of ping-pong fun at my niece's house, I bought this. Arrived as scheduled in really sturdy packaging (metal/wood frame inside the cardboard box to protect the corners during shipping). Got it downstairs (heavy, only in 2 pieces, so awkward) - and then it went together easily, sits on the pool table perfectly, and screwed together super-quick. Has two metal braces with wing-nut screws that hold it together and line it up. Net went up, and we were playing in no time. Used it in two days more than we used the pool table in last several months or year. It was a pain to get into basement, but now there we can remove it in about 5 minutes and move to side if we ever want to play pool. More fun now, tho, and I think our teenage daughter will enjoy it more than pool when friends are over.My only suggestion would be to make the net holder a bit "beefier". It works OK, just looks a bit cheap. For the high quality of the rest of this table, a little more thickness in the metal might be more consistent. Minor gripe. Overall, VERY happy with purchase. In fact, we're gonna go down and play right now!

In 2010 I bought a big house that came with a pool table, but in 7 years played Pool maybe 7 times. I contemplated buying a ping pong ‘table conversion’ years ago but didn’t know if I had enough room to move around and swing a ping pong paddle. After hearing that ping pong is good for the brain I decided that I’d go for it. It came on Friday and my 3 kids were so excited about our new game. We’ve played it every day, and even my wife has played. Every night myself, my wife and our 3 kids (ages: 10, 11, 13) gather in our loft and read scriptures together and have family prayer. Now we also play ping pong.I’m glad I spent the extra money to get a higher quality table from JOOLA. My son searched Amazon with me and asked why I spent twice as much as I could have spent on JOOLA rather than the others available. This one had the best reviews by far and a black one. I love that it is black rather than green or some other color because my home is very nice and although it’s upstairs in the loft where guests normally don’t go, it looks good to those who go upstairs.

This ping pong table top is made of excellent material with great quality. Ball bounces very nicely and the top does not slip at all. One reason I picked this model over the others is that it has two brackets that hold the two pieces together nicely which should help prevent them from going out of alignment over time.The reason I take one star off is because of two issues (see attached pictures): 1). There are three small scratches on one side with the top paint off; 2). The outside cardboard was broken and there was a live roach in there when I opened the box. (The second issue was probably due to warehouse and shipping.)UPDATE: I followed their instruction to submit a review but did not receive the free balls as promised in over 3 months. Same canned message returned (that the balls will be sent in 4-6 weeks) when I tried to follow up with email. Also left a voice message on customer service number but no one calls back. As a result, I'm taking off another star due to lack of customer service.

It took monthes to arrive, counting the first shipment was damaged and never arrived because of it. Fits well and works like it supposed to. The net is a little tricky to install but this problem could have been easily solved had the seller provided with an instruction paper (no where to be found). The table pieces are heavier than I thought, could be hazardous if you have small kids at home.

If you're looking for a good quality table top to convert your pool table over for ping pong/table tennis, this is a great pick.Be sure to compare pricing with shipping on other sites as Amazon often still is the best price.It comes shipped well protected and will need to have a scheduled delivery because of the size of the item.My kids love it and the quality is really good.Make sure you've got someone on hand to help you move the table as the panels are really heavy and sturdy.

If you buy this product you will not be sorry.- JOOLA Conversion Table Tennis Top with Net and Post, 15mmJOOLA Conversion Table Tennis Top with Net and Post, 15mm

The table showed up damaged. There were multiple scratches, two of which were into the table. Also one corner of the box was damaged,looked to be dropped at some point. Unfortunately was unable to exchange as it became unavailable but was offered a reduced rate for the damages to keep it. Overall good quality table, quick and easy set up and would recomend.

We used this table top to convert a dining room table for table tennis. Since our dining room table is only about 5 feet long, we added a pair of legs on each side additional support.The table top was packed well and arrived in excellent shape. It came with a net and hardware to hold the 2 pieces together. Very easy to assemble. The table top surface was flat, with a good finish and a good bounce. This was one of the more expensive conversion table tennis tops so our only slight negative is the price (but I guess you get what you pay for :-).
