Choosing an indoor table tennis table can be difficult as they all look very similar. To help we’ve written ‘Pro Reviews’ which explain the pros and cons of the particular table, and in many cases the benefits of the next model up. This information is invaluable when deciding which table tennis table best suits your needs. We recommend a space of 17' x 11' as a comfortable play area for most recreational players (competitive players may need more space).
Indoor tables are designed to be used and stored in a heated, insulated building. If you plan to use the table in direct sunlight, or to store it in an outbuilding or garage, you should consider an outdoor table. You can use an outdoor tables indoors, but not an indoor one outdoors. The tops on outdoor tables are also much more resistant to scratches etc. plus if a drink is spilt on the top it can just be wiped off (even hours later). Beware of some retailers claiming their indoor tops have 'special paint' to allow outdoor use. They never last!

Further Information About Indoor Table Tennis Tables
When considering an indoor table tennis table for your school it’s worth bearing in mind that the thickness of the table top has an effect on the quality of play. The thicker (and sometimes the denser) the table top, the higher and more consistent the bounce will be.
As the price of the table increases, generally speaking so does the thickness of the table top, and in turn, the quality of play. Indoor table tennis tables start with some of the cheaper table tops being 16mm thick, which are designed for occasional home use and will not offer a high enough bounce to be of much use in the long run. These entry-level tables will also be quite flimsy and unlikely to last very long in a school environment. Ultimately this will prove to be a false economy.
There are other areas that are also important when choosing a table tennis table for school use. A good quality table tennis table top is heavy, so you will need to make sure the undercarriage of the table is going to be sturdy enough to take the weight. When buying for a school you also need to think about how the table will be used and treated by the students. The overall strength will be a very important factor in how long the table will last.
