Taking home entertainment back to a simpler time

un for all the family, a table tennis table is a fabulous investment in at-home entertainment that crucially, doesn’t involve a screen.

Depending on your level of ability and enthusiasm, a game of table tennis can be a great way to get the blood pumping, whatever your age.

There are designs that can happily sit outside year round, weathering sun and shine and, on the other end of the scale, sleek, elegant versions that double up as dining tables.

Many are built with storage in mind too, folding down to dimensions so slim they can easily be stored in the garage or behind a cupboard. When shopping for a table tennis table, bear in mind not only its dimensions but the space you’ll need around it to swing the paddle properly and lunge for errant balls - a border of around 80cm is ideal.
