"The Butterfly Playback Rollaway Outdoor table tennis table is a USA Table Tennis Association approved and durable ping pong table for indoor or outdoor use. Unlike most outdoor ping pong tables, the Playback Outdoor is backed by a 10 year warranty on the ping pong table top and 3 year warranty on the sturdy frame. The SLT (Synthetic Laminate Top) can take more abuse than the average ping pong table. Safety levers are located on each table half for effective child safety. These levelers are red in the photos and lock the table in the storage position and prevent the table halves from falling down. It features a 2-piece top that conveniently makes the transition from play, to playback, and then to storage. The table is a foldable ping pong table that has 4 rotating wheels for easy transportation. The playback mode option allows one half to remain upright so you can play solo. This table also incorporates edge banding to protect the table against wear, while extra bracing around the legs provides great reinforcement and strength. The net and posts are included and can remain attached to the ping pong table in all positions - play mode, storage mode, and playback mode. Accessory holders are located on each side of the table for storing up to 4 ping pong paddles and 8 ping pong balls.

Assembling the table is a multi-hour task. Thanks to some of the reviews here, I was largely prepared. Having a couple of 11 mm wrenches would have helped. I had one 11 mm wrench/ratchet set and an adjustable wrench, which was fine, but if I had to do it over, I'd have gotten the second wrench. Actually, if I had to do it over, I'd have paid someone to assemble it! I see that Amazon is offering an assembly service for little over $100. Worth considering, especially if you will be doing this alone. You will need a 19 mm wrench for 4 bolts/nuts. Another review here said that the 3/4" would work well for those. That knowledge might have saved me a trip to the hardware store, mid-process. Study the directions before getting to work and, like someone else here usefully posted, layout all the pieces in clearly marked groups. A Sharpie pen and one of the large sides of the packing materials worked nicely. It is a bit like assembling an Audi from parts. Everything fits together beautifully. At the end you have a great table and the makings of lots of fun. Highly recommended!

After 6 months that I own this product I gave it serious thought on how to review this item. and I concluded that I can't give it more then 1 star, and her is why.1. assembly was murder, murder is a under statement I am very handy and own all professional tools and I know how to fallow and read instructions, this table will take 2 people minimum 4 hours wit h instructions that is very unclear and hard to fallow. I think that when paying for a table over $700 it should at least include a instructional video on how to assemble it.2. The wheels are made of crappie cheap plastic that it dose not swivel at all as it states in description. If you will move it around often the wheels will be gone in few months.3. all the plastic parts on the table where the net attaches are made of very cheap plastic and not outdoor quality at all between the snow & the sun it is already all broken and gone and try to get costumer service, (GOOD LUCK).4. for the price that you pay you and what you get, you can get almost the same table for much a cheaper priceThis table is not the quality you deserve when paying such a high price and I would highly recommend you choose something else.I generally try to be a positive reviewer but after 6 months of owning this product I can only give it a 1 star!

I concur with other reviewers that the assembly takes a long time. I will repeat what some others have said: sort the various nuts and bolts before you start; will save you a lot of time/trouble once you start the assembly. There are a lot of bolts of similar sizes. Also, get yourself appropriate ratcheting wrenches as there are a lot of nuts to be bolted.The instructions were very clear (I like pictorial instructions), and installation was relatively easy; time consuming, but not difficult. I had my son (9 1/2 years old) as a helper, and he could do most of the assembly with me. For lifting and attaching the table top halves to the platform you should get an adult for help.Once assembled, it is very easy to move around, set it up, fold back up, etc. Even my son is able to do this by himself. I liked the mechanism that folds/unfolds the two halves: should be safe for older kids if they can reach the top bar. Of course, once folded it can tip over if kids bump into the table, so care should be taken while in that state.As for the playing surface, I am no expert but I thought the bounce was a bit less than I expected. However, for a portable _outdoor_ table, it is an excellent surface. There is space for holding the 4 paddles and 8 balls.Now enjoying playing table tennis after a long time! My son loves it. One more activity for us to do together!

Only a couple of years old, hardly-used table. One of the wheel sets has cracked off. Will require replacement of the whole unit costing a lot I am sure. It is always the plastic parts that break. The company makes claims of outdoor use but do no testing of the materials they use. It is a shame that such an expensive table should break a leg so quickly!After six months, I was finally able to order the broken part from England, with the part costing about $25 and shipping costing $60. Had to pay it, or the table was not usable. So still unhappy that it took such a lot money and time to replace a part, as none are available in the US.

In short - the table itself is excellent. High quality, and while I'd have preferred better wheels/axles - the ones supplied work quite well. Minor complaint about opening it - you can't reach both latches from one location, so you have to release one and torque the top a little so it stays out, then release the other side.Assembly was very straightforward - it took me about 90 minutes. You definitely need 3 people when you mount the table to the support frame. And if you don't have a metric ratchet set - get one, even if it's cheap. I can't imagine how long it would have taken with just two open end wrenches.All that being said, it's a darn good thing I'm an engineer - as the instructions really, really, really leave a lot to be desired. They consist of a number of drawings, with no text. In a few places, it is *NOT* clear which way a part should be installed, and it matters. Furthermore, the hardware package is obviously a "universal" kit. I had an mountain of pocket parts when I was done. Enough that I was certain I'd missed a step in the assembly, forcing me to recheck every step. Truth be known, I probably could have assembled it in less than an hour if the directions had been more clear.
