Keep in Mind
Do remember that the STIGA Advantage series has three tables, all of the regulation size. They are as following:
1) STIGA Advantage Lite Recreational Indoor
This is the cheapest and the lowest quality indoor table tennis of ping pong tables in the STIGA Advantage series designed specifically for casual gameplay. It has a very thin table top that is certainly not ideal for serious playing. The ping pong table is still a sturdy and decent option for recreational usage, as it was intended.
2) STIGA Advantage Competition Ready
This is the ideal professional level product for amateur and serious players. It has a 16mm thick table top, and a very decent frame. It is light weight as compared to the Pro but it still is heavier as compared to other table halves that have similar qualities.
3) STIGA Advantage Pro Tournament-Quality
This is the top-end professional level product of the Advantage series and is an excellent option for a tournament player who wants to level up the competition. The Pro is the tournament quality indoor table tennis table we are reviewing and it is an elite product with 19mm thick table top, 4″lockable casters for convenient storage, frame with understudy, and a premium net and post set that will outlive you, possibly.
It also is the most expensive among the three tables designed specifically for professional level gameplay and it is expensive because of the right reasons, as we have discussed here.
