The kind of ping pong table should also be considered. As with price, the kind of table you purchase and its features should be in synch with why you want to buy it in the first place. The beginner ping pong table is ideal for family gatherings and playtime with the children. The beginner ping pong table is not focused on durability, as the intermediate table should. The intermediate one can be invested on if you are a family full of ping-pong enthusiasts. Beginner ping pong tables generally do not hold out for long-term use. Mobility is also a feature present in intermediate ones, not focused on in the beginner ones. Intermediate ping pong tables typically have wheels or are foldable. Advanced ping-pong tables, on the other hand, are built to take more punishment than intermediate table. While ping pong is generally an indoor sport, it can also be played outside and advanced tables are built for this.

Another consideration is whether the table to be purchased should be foldable or not. If there is not much space is the house and the table needs to continuously be kept, then a foldable ping pong table is more advisable for your uses, more than the stationary types. Stationary ping pong tables, on the other hand, tend to be sturdier compared to foldable ones.

Ping-pong tables can also be either stationary or roll-away. Like the foldable ones, the roll-away tables are also more ideal for mobile lifestyles. On the downside, the roll-away tables are less durable than the stationary tables.

A feature that enthusiasts might want their tables to have is a convertible top. These convertible tops can be set up by folding one side of the table. This is ideal for practice sessions, especially for beginners.

In terms of details, thickness is also a consideration. However, thinner tables do not necessarily give an inferior performance compared to thick tables. Beginners and those purchasing tables for family usage are not advised to buy the thicker tables especially if the prices are very different. Thick tables are more suited to serious athletes who want to simulate the playing conditions of the competition to the letter. Apart from the thickness, ping-pong tables should also have a smooth finish. Purchasers should make sure that the edges and surface are smooth to ensure a good gameplay. A good way to find out if the table is smooth enough is to bounce a ping pong ball from a 30-centimetre height. If the ball bounces back about 23-centimetres high, the surface is adequate.

Purchasers should also examine if the legs of the ping-pong table are sturdy enough, especially if the table is for long-term usage. Leg-levelers are also a nice feature to have, especially if the enthusiasts foresee playing on rough ground.
