Buying a table tennis table is simple enough but getting the right one is
more
difficult. The vast majority of table tennis table retailers offer you a
choice of one – one make, one model type, with a choice of two colours if you
are lucky. As they only offer the one make they will obviously tell you that
the model they sell is the best table tennis table on the market.
There are three major brands on sale in the UK : Butterfly, Kettler and
Cornilleau. Each of the three brands has indoor and outdoor versions and
within each type there are a variety of different models plus a choice of two
colours. Every model is different and is designed to suit a specific purpose
and type of player.
Table tennis tables are bulky items and it is easy to see why the majority
of
retailers stock only one brand and only one model. A good table tennis table
will last and give pleasure for many years. It makes good sense to discuss
your particular needs with a knowledgeable person who can offer you a choice
of all three major brands and every model within each brand. This is the only
way that you can be sure of buying the best table tennis table to suit your
particular need and level of skill. A specialist who is able to offer you such
a wide choice is far more likely to be honest about what would be best for you.
Fortunately it is possible to buy a table tennis table direct from a main
distributor. Although the distributor is unlikely to have a retail showroom
they will have a comprehensive web site. It is also important to ensure that
you are buying from a bona fide distributor. This is simple to check. They
will have all three brands, most of the models and a choice of colour in
stock. They will be able to deliver your table within a maximum of 5 days. You
will almost certainly find their prices competitive. A main distributor sells
far more table tennis tables in one week than even the largest stores sell in
a year. Their substantial buying power can benefit you.
It is important to remember that when your table tennis table is delivered
it
will be in very large and heavy boxes. Although assembling the table is not
rocket science some of the assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired and
the actual assembly really is a two-person job. Most leading distributors
offer an assembly service, which is well worth considering.
