For your convenience, we have compiled a list of features that will ensure your experience buying this ping pong table will be perfect.
Made for Small Spaces
The JOOLA Midsize ping pong table is made in a unique size, being two thirds the size of a regulation table – slightly smaller than the Franklin Sports table. That is why the Midsize ping pong table is ideal for small spaces that can’t accommodate full size tables. The equipment designed is for all levels and multiple use tables are a must-buy for people living in apartments where this mid size table can be easily stored in most closets.
Moreover, its compact storage fits in a game room, too, and the best part is, you can start your kids getting interested in table tennis by having them play on a smaller table or use each half as a card table. It comes with net set included.
100% Preassembled
The JOOLA Midsize table tennis table is a mini ping pong table that sets up with two halves. However, you can save the hassle of having to set it up because the JOOLA Midsize table tennis table always comes 100% preassembled and in the form of one solid piece. It also has a net included and it will not take a lot of time from unboxing to playing.
The assembly required the pre-connected folding legs, that you have to open up, join the two table halves, and start your game within seconds. The playing surface delivers true and consistent bounce as expected from full size ping pong tables.
Ideal for Multi-usage
JOOLA Midsize table tennis table is not only the best table for table tennis usage but multi purpose table halves are also perfect for other usages like playing poker, card table for kids games etc.
You can use free-standing multi purpose table halves for all kinds of different uses, making it great not only for playing table tennis but also for hosting a fun and entertaining game night. From beer pong to card games, playing poker or indoor games, this is a useful ping pong table as each half is a near perfect square and can easily stand alone!
The separate halves of the tables can be placed together, used as game tables or card table for entertaining guests and compact storage fits in most closets, behind the sofa or even under the bed.
Pros
Lightweight
One of the best features of the JOOLA Midsize tennis table is that the equipment designed is super lightweight with a thinner frame. Compared to the regulation-sized ping pong tables, this tennis table is featherweight. Weighing under 30 kgs, the JOOLA Midsize table tennis table offers a lot of options with portability and convenience. While it may not be a regulation height table, it is perfect for the kids to play and move around.
The problem with the heavier ping pong full size tennis table is always about the fact that you cannot move it, but this gives you so many options. Especially, when you consider the fact that the two table halves can be used independently, as well.
Compact and Ideal for Storage
Due to its size slightly smaller than the Franklin Sports table, and ease of separation, and of course, the preassembly, you can set the tennis table up within minute. With net set included and no assembly required you can wrap it up within seconds.
This means you do not have to worry about getting an earful from the missus and due to its compact half size you can put this mini ping pong table almost anywhere and it will be out of your sight. Each half of the table can be used as a card table for guests etc.
Similarly, for apartments and places where space is a luxury only and keeping a full size table is a dream, but you also do not want to give up on your ping pong career, then your ideal investment should be the JOOLA Midsize ping pong table instead of a full size table, as due to its easy storage and half size it will fit about anywhere in your apartment.
Comes Preassembled
Some ping pong tables can take up hours to assemble before you can start playing. It can be demoralizing, especially, when you see the package arriving after days and you are excited about playing table tennis, as soon as it comes.
This is where the JOOLA Midsize table tennis is the best option because it comes preassembled 100%, and for the assembly all you have to do is open the legs of the tables, attach the two half ping pong tables with the net and start playing!
Even kids can do it, and you can set the tennis table up without needing the help of another person. Other than table tennis, these multiple use tables are perfect for card games or any of your other card table needs.
Net and Posts Included
The JOOLA Midsize ping pong table comes with a sturdy screw clamp net and a post set for the assembly. The net and post set attaches to the table with a classic screw clamp and it is very inexpensive to replace, too.
Perfect to play table tennis leisurely and for ping pong with friends and kids, and you can set the table up within seconds, too.
Cons
Smaller than Regulation Size
Being a mini ping pong table, this is not a standard-sized, regulation ping pong table so you should adjust your expectations accordingly in this price. It is a mini table smaller than the actual full size table tennis table, so if you are used to playing table tennis on full size tables then this half sized mini table will take you some time to adapt to this.
Poor Bounce
The mini table is ideally made for ping pong and recreational purposes only, so the bounce is not consistent as the table top is quite thin, opposed to other ping pong tables from JOOLA like the NOVA DX outdoor table. If you use a playing surface with a thicker table, then you will find it slightly hard to adjust to this poor surface.
No Paddles or Balls
The ping pong mid size table costs a lot less but most customers expect it to come with paddles and balls. However, that is not the case, as you only get the table in this price. You will have to buy the paddles and balls, separately.
Missing Screws
Some customers had a poor experience buying this mini ping pong table because they reported missing screws. We suggest inspecting for any missing screws as soon as the table arrives so that you can either report it or get it fixed.
Our Rating: 4.2/5
While this mini ping pong table is not ideal for professional play, for its cost and its purpose, it makes a very decent purchase among ping pong tables.
You can keep it almost anywhere in your apartment it hardly takes up any space, you can also use it to play other indoor games like beer pong or cards, etc. It is also ideal for ping pong because you can make up your own rules and play for bargaining rights with friends and family.
