I gave in and bought this table for my 15 year old son, who absolutely fell in love with tennis , and surprisingly he is pretty good at it! This shipped to me a lot faster then I would've expected, which was a bonus of course! When it arrived it was very heavy, it took my husband and my dad to bring it into the house. Other then that I finished putting it together and was very simple & quick. Definitely a lot of pros with this table ! First off being that when my son cant stop playing and I'm tired out he can fold up half and practice by himself. Second being that it folds all the way up on both sides and I can put it in the closet downstairs! Which was the only thing keeping me from buying him a tennis table was that we had no room for it.. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
