JOOLA Midsize Table Tennis Table Review
Ping Pong table Review: 4.4 stars out of 5
The Joola Midsize Table Tennis table is a top-of-the-line portable table tennis table. It is easily one of the best tables for small spaces. The table comes with a high-quality top and components that would rival many full-size regulation tables that cost upwards of $600.
The Joola Midsize is regulation height and just two-thirds the length and width of an ITTF certified table. For those who live in an apartment, small office or otherwise small living space, the Joola Midsize is a perfect way to allow you play ping pong where you otherwise couldn’t. The best thing about it is that playing on it actually feels like really ping pong. Many other miniaturized ping pong tables are more gimmicks than actual competitive playing surfaces.

Table Construction
The Joola Midsize measures 71 inches long and just about 36 inches wide. It stands at the regulation height of 30 inches tall and folds up easily for storage. The table top itself is very solid and provides a surprisingly good bounce for a mini ping pong table.
The highlight of the Joola Midsize is the top. It’s got a 5/8” thick MDF top that is very similar (except in dimensions) to full sized regulation tables that cost much much more. This is unheard of in mini ping pong table and speaks to the fact that this table is not a gimmick but a serious table that allows for competitive play.
The Joola Midsize is actually just made up of two separate table halves that join together where the net is mounted. You can store each half individually and best of all they can be used as two separate multi-use tables. Each separate table half is a perfect square and is just about the right size for a card table. This is a great added bonus of the Joola Midsize, you can play table tennis on it or use each of the individual tables for other things like serving food at parties or for board game night. The net itself locks into place into holes on the top of the table. The trick is to push the net poles down into the holes and they will lock into place, keeping the net solid and stable.
Assembly
One of the best things about the Joola Midsize is that absolutely no assembly is required. When the table is shipped to you, it is simply folded up in the box. All you need to do is unfold the legs, attach the two tops and you are ready to play. The fact that the table ships this way makes it clear how easy this table is to fold up and stow away. The legs simply fold under each side and you can store each table half separately. When folded, each half is just a few inches thick and can easily slide under a bed or into a closet.
Conclusion
The Joola Midsize is the perfect table for those with limited space or a limited budget. At under $200 this table has to be the cheapest options out there. While the table is not regulation size, it is one of the few tables on the market that still provides enough room for competitive play among adults.
The Midsize is designed with the surprisingly high-quality materials, rivaling some much more expensive options, and is extremely lightweight and very easy to move and store. Customers have complained of damaged corners upon delivery so be sure to watch for this so you can promptly return your item in this situation.
