So after researching every table out there for $400 or less, I decided on the Joola Inside, and I'm VERY pleased. First of all, assembly was simple... this is a big deal if you are aware of all the horror story reviews out there regarding assembly of similarly priced tables. It comes almost completely assembled, all you have to do is assemble the wheel brackets. Piece of cake. It very well made, and extremely solid. It's a 2-piece table, so none of the mismatch concerns that plague some of the 4-piece tables (beware the 4-piece tables!). The two halves line up perfectly. Very easy to roll and fold up for storage. Can't imagine why you'd need more unless you absolutely must have a thicker surface (a legitimate concern for advanced players, but not for the average recreational player). Low price, but in no way says "cheap". Highly recommended!!!

First of all KUDOS to Amazon for such quick delivery....Table only took two days to deliver even here is Wyoming which usually takes considerably longer. CEVA was shipper. As for the table, it comes FULLY assembled!!!! Except for the stands which the rollers connect to. I was under the impression that I would have much "put-together time", but not so. It is also quite HEAVY. The box was plastic wrap-secured to a wooden pallet, but even after removing pallet, the box weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 170-190 pounds....

The table comes pre-assembled with fold out legs that are quiet sturdy. After five minutes to secure additional legs and wheels with two adjustable wrenches, the table is ready to stand upright. Leveling is made easy by adjusting wheels and attached leg stoppers. Directions for assembling table suffer in translation, but anyone of average intelligence can figure it out.

Lastly secure net with provided spring-tensioned vices and voila!!!! Ready to play.

Table is sturdy, stable and built to last...If you're in the market for an affordable, well-designed, and easy to assemble table which should provide years of enjoyment, look no further.

We bought this table a month ago after looking at a dozen others on line, and reading all the reviews. The table arrived ahead of the committed date, it was very simple to set up - my son and i had it up in less than 30 minutes. The table comes in two parts so is very easy to bring into a basement. The boys have been playing on it for several hours a day, with their friends and so far there have been no issues at all. we love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants a indoor table.

This is the 3rd Joola table I have purchased. The other two, I was very happy with as they held up to heavy use for a couple of years each in a light industrial environment as the lunch and break time entertainment for quick a few co-workers (and myself).

The 3rd table, which I bought for personal use, had faulty welds and nearly crushed my daughter when those broke as the table was folded vertically. Like the other 2, this 3rd table assembled perfectly, and was used twice before I decided to stow it in the garage. Fortunately, my 18 month-old was on the opposite side of the table as the welds at the base broke and one of the table halves came crashing down. My arm got scratched up as I instinctively tried to grab the table, but nothing compared to how I would have felt if my daughter had been hurt.

I made contact directly with Joola, and the first response (went right to VP Sales) was very strong. They communicated they were sorry, and offered a few free items and free replacement legs. I ended up returning the product to Amazon anyway after I couldn't shake the feeling of disgust at what could have happened.

For me the 1-star review comes down to manufacturing and quality. As an engineer, I know that unplanned defects will occur, but in this case the welds were so terrible that any amount of force at the factory in product testing should have caught this. That just isn't excusable and my main purpose in this review is to get other owners (and especially fathers with small children) to make sure their welds are good before simply relying on them to hold up an 80 pound chunk of table surface that could easily do permanent harm to a small child. If you already have a table, check it.

Had the table now for 3 months. Already showing signs that it will not last. The laminate on the edges is coming loose. The legs are rather weak and tend to get bent out of position when moving the table from set-up to storage. Surprisingly, there is nothing to keep the two sections together, they just butt up to one another. So if a player bumps the table too hard, the two sections separate. In my opinion, this table would be OK at $200, but not $400.
