A review of table-tennis-tables.co.uk from Millfield School
During the past few years Millfield School have bought Cornilleau tables from us in both the indoor and outdoor range.

Deputy Bursar at Millfield School, Mike Craig
"Millfield School chose table-tennis-tables.co.uk as the supplier of its table tennis tables on the basis of quality, price, service and delivery. We have a number of boarding houses, which, during term time, are home to our pupils. Entertainment and relaxation are as much a part of school life as the lessons, and providing games and equipment to fulfil this part of their lives is an important consideration. We have purchased indoor table tennis tables from table-tennis-tables.co.uk, which are usually located in a recreation room or common room within the boarding house. In addition to this, a large number of the houses have also requested outdoor table tennis tables; a result of our recent good weather during the spring, summer and early autumn. The table tennis tables need to be robust, to withstand regular and fairly heavy use, and all of the tables purchased from table-tennis-tables.co.uk have delivered on the promise of longevity and service ability within this environment. Millfield School is likely to continue to purchase from table-tennis-tables.co.uk, as the whole package of product, quality, delivery and service meets its requirements fully."

Millfield school was founded in 1935 it has a fine campus of 166 acres. It is in beautiful countryside, with 18 boarding houses in the town of Street and surrounding villages.

Cornilleau
We recommend Cornilleau tables for schools. They are a specialist table manufacturer whose modern design and concepts not only lead the way in safety, ease of use, but also play quality.
They offer the longest warrantee of any manufacturer and the wider stronger legs on their tables make them more robust and much sturdier.
Their unique opening mechanism allows one person to open and close the table with ease, whilst the DSI system makes setting up the table much easier.
A low centre of gravity and solid wheel base also make the tables easy to move.
Cornilleau make tables right up to the International Table Tennis Federations competition standard so you will not be compromising play quality for safety; Cornilleau offer the whole package.

Cornilleau Commercial Director Michel Zany
Sport is ever progressing. This is why we must continuously improve the performance of our products. With this goal in mind, Cornilleau have developed a new collection of table tennis tables to meet the very highest standards, offering you what you have a right to expect today: quality of play, ease of use, safety, solidity and design.
Cornilleau are convinced that their tables will be in high demand due to their undeniable superior technical features. Our revolutionary design might surprise, but will definitely become the reference in table tennis for years to come.

DSI Technology (Double Security Integrated)
It is now possible to automatically lock the table in complete safety even on irregular surfaces thanks to the new exclusive and patented Locking System. Four safety bolts, 8 locking points in the playing position and 8 locking points in the storage position make it the most safety effective system on the market. For your ease of use, we have equipped our tables with a highly efficient and easy to use unlocking handle. Cornilleau thus succeeds in combining ease of use and safety for your utmost satisfaction.

Every day, Cornilleau's engineers are researching and developing systems to further reduce the risk of accident: the COMPACT TECHNOLOGY® Folding System decreasing the risk of tilting, eliminating the possibility of a child getting in between the panels.
