As you can see in the photograph, the Stiga Expert table tennis tables we are using are blue in color, which is the standard color. They come with a 1 inch (25mm) thick fibreboard playing surface, which is what is used in international standard tables (the thicker the better). Thicker playing surfaces resist warping much better than thinner table tops, and some players also believe the bounce is better on thicker table tops.
You can also see the side support apron on which the playing surface rests, which is 2¼ inches thick. A good support system is important if you want a table that can take some punishment along the way.
Finally, the undercarriage is shown in the photograph. Each half of the table is supported by 2½ and 1½ inch steel legs, and 4 inch ball bearing wheels (or casters). Given that sooner or later you can guarantee that people are going to sit on the sides of the table, a strong undercarriage is definitely a good idea (although I still don't recommend allowing players to sit on the table).
Overall Conclusion
The Stiga Expert table tennis table is not a cheap table by any means, but you do get a quality table for your money. Apart from a minor detail with the finish, it's hard to find any weak points with this table. Treated with the care an expensive table deserves, you will get many years of enjoyment from this table tennis table.Are you interested in buying a Stiga Expert table tennis table? Buy Direct
