ping pong on the dining room table?

Thinking of Ping Pong for Christmas….

ping pong on the dining room table?

Portable Ping Pong Anyone?

…but don’t have the room?

We got one of these last year and it has been an awesome, durable toy that everyone in the family loves! Our house is waaaay too small for a full-sized ping pong table. I considered getting an actual tennis-table-top, like this but felt like it would be bulky and cumbersome.

The dimensions of the portable table aren’t that much bigger than our dining room table with the extension, so I went with just the net/paddle/balls. I figured if it was a dud, we were only out $25. Although our dining room set was a hand-me-down, this hasn’t scratched or damaged the surface or edges at all. The net holders are plastic but have held up well.

Luke’s tennis buddy stayed with us for a couple of nights and they spent nearly every waking hour playing ping pong. It took Adam a couple of games to adjust to the size of the table since he has a full-sized table at home but then they competed evenly.

In case you’re keeping score, that’s Mark 2, Luke 1….and Luke’s playing righty. He usually plays Mark lefty.
