Stiga Baja Climate Series Outdoor Table Tennis Table

First I'll start with packaging and assembly:

Picked up this table last night from a local dealer as its unfortunately too heavy to get online and the local dealer had it on sale. First thing to be aware of is the weight of this thing, its about 250lbs in the box so you'll need at least 2 or more people to get the thing in and out of a truck. You will have a really hard time getting the box into anything but a truck its roughly 4'11 X 5 ft. Its well protected in the box with particle board to keep the sides rigid and keep the table from getting dinged (nice touch on the manufactures part). The table directions were super easy to follow. Took about 2.5 hrs to get it together. You will need two people once you get to the point of having to lift half the table and place it on the rolling legs and poles. Only tools needed is a ratchet or wrenches, a crescent wrench to hold the other side and a screwdriver (a drill will make your life much easier). Make sure when assembling to place the locking wheels on opposite sides of each other so they hold the table in both directions.

Build/Appearance:

Overall the build is extremely nice, the bottom of the table is all aluminum and the top feels/looks very solid. The leveling feet are a nice touch and were perfect as my garage floor is not perfectly level. The table can easily be setup by one person, the lever arms are very sturdy and support the weight of the table perfectly. The wheels have lockers and did a good job of holding the table steady as i opened it up. The net assembly was sturdy and allowed perfect placement and tightening of net. Played about 2hrs on the table and am really enjoying it.

This table is absolutely horrible.The bounce is awful and the table is literally almost too noisy to play on.Stiga should be ashamed of putting out such a sub-par product.Avoid any of these tables with the aluminum composite surface.
