5 Best Table Tennis Tables of 2024

If it’s quality you’re after, I’d recommend the Kettler Outdoor Table Tennis Table as the best table tennis table on the market. Made in Germany, this table has been built to a professional standard. 

It has a solid 36 mm frame which has been powder coated. The rest of the materials are rust proof and weatherproof, and it’s been rigorously tested to ensure it can withstand competitive play. 

It’s a standard size table of 274 x 152.5 x 76 cm which means it’s ideal for those wanting a competitive game. If you don’t have a partner to play with, one side can be folded at a 90 degree angle. This allows you to play single player.

For storage, the two sides fold upwards and it can be wheeled into a shed or garage. While not flat, it’s fairly compact when folded, so you don’t need a huge amount of space. 

Additional features add to the quality. There’s two table tennis bat holders as well as ball holders so you can simply reach down and grab a ball when it’s your turn to serve. Having said that, bats and balls aren’t included, so these will need to be purchased separately. 

The only thing that lets it down are the wheels. These are made from plastic and may wear over time. This is very minor however, as the rest of the table is good quality. 

The only other thing to note is that while it is easy to assemble, the process takes around 1.5 hours and you’ll need an extra pair of hands!

The Cornilleau Sport 200X Outdoor Crossover Table Tennis Table is another table worth spending a little more on. It’s good quality, with a 5 mm resin laminate with a soft mat on top. The 40 mm corrosion and scratch-resistant steel frame should last a very long time. 

Once assembled (which takes around 2 hours), this table is very easy to use. The feet can be adjusted which means it can be used on unlevel playing surfaces, while the net tension is also easy to adjust. This model comes with handy storage features on the side panels, so you can store your bat and balls securely when not in use. 

It offers an even and consistent playing surface, with a rebound quality that’s ideal for everyday use. It’s a table that suits both beginner and experienced players so it’s ideal for families. The surface has an anti-glare coating so you can play competitively without being blinded by the glare. 

It can be folded in two for easy storage, while you can also fold one side at 90 degrees for solo play. There’s two brakes that’ll stop the table from moving, whether in storage or during more competitive games. The large double wheels make it easy to move on most terrains. 

It’s fully weather resistant, so you don’t need to store it undercover. A cover is recommended though to keep it clean. 

It’s worth noting that there aren’t any bats or balls included, and assembly takes around 2 hours. 

If you’re willing to pay a little more for a quality table that’ll withstand the worst weather and the most aggressive of games, this model is one of my top picks. 

If you’ve not got the budget to splash out on a £500 table and you’re looking for something half that price, the Donnay Indoor Outdoor Table Tennis Table is a good budget option. It doesn’t have the quality of some others I’ve tested, but for casual use it’s ideal.

This table is full size and relatively strong, yet it weighs just 20 kg so it’s easy to move in and out of storage. It does need to be stored inside when not in use, and this isn’t too much hassle as the table folds in half to make it more compact. 

The difference between this and more expensive models is the quality of materials. This model is made from MDF which, although strong, cannot withstand very bad weather. While it comes with a cover included, it still needs to be stored away when not in use, and the wood may warp over time. 

Once assembled (which is very easy), it’s a lot of fun. There’s bats and 3 balls included, and you can fold one side up for solo practice too.

The main downside to this table is that there’s no option to adjust the legs. This means that it has to be used on a totally even surface, or it’ll wobble. 

All things considered, I’d happily recommend this table for families on a budget. While it’s unlikely to stand up to truly rigorous gameplay, it’s perfect for a few hours of family fun.

While a full size table tennis table is great if you’ve got the space, we can’t deny that they are a little bulky. The VIAVITO Flipit 6ft Table Tennis Top offers you all the joy of a table tennis table, without the actual table part!

This table top simply sits on an existing games or dining room table to create a makeshift ping pong table! It offers a 6 ft x 3 ft playing surface, so it’s smaller than standard table tennis tables.

It rests conveniently on the top of flat surfaces, and when you’re finished it can be folded in half and stored away flat. It comes with all accessories needed to get started, including 2 bats, 3 balls and the net. 

It’s non-slip, so if you accidentally put your hand onto it during a particularly competitive game, it’ll stay in the same place. 

One of the best things about this table top is its convenience. It’s a good size for any age to play on, and it doesn’t feel as much of a commitment as a full size table tennis table. Of course, it’s also a fraction of the price! 

You still need a table large enough to support it (6 ft x 3 ft), and it’s worth noting that the included bat and balls aren’t the best quality.

Built for both indoor and outdoor use, the RAH 6FT Foldable Table Tennis Table is a mini table tennis table and a great alternative to a full size table. It measures 92 cm x 180 cm, so you don’t need a huge amount of unused space. 

Even better, it stores virtually flat. The legs fold in and the table folds in half, meaning it can even be stored under furniture or up against a wall. It can be folded single handedly, while the 16 kg weight means it’s easy to move to the storage spot. 

There’s rubber suction cups that’ll protect floors from scratches and help keep the table stationary during competitive play, while the aluminium structure is fairly sturdy. It offers a good rebound strength, and the balls bounce very evenly. 

It arrives fully assembled and ready to use. All you need to do is unfold it. It comes with 2 bats and 3 balls included, as well as the net. 

This table needs to be stored inside when not in use, as it’s not resistant to bad weather.

Although it doesn’t allow you to play to quite the same standard as a state-of-the-art professional standard ping pong table, it’s a great choice for any family looking for a compact and reliable table.
