The JOOLA Nova Outdoor Table Tennis Table is a great value (mind you I purchased it from Amazon at 40% off MSRP). I was looking at purchasing an outdoor table for my family to play in our carport during the warmer/nicer months with the option to move it into our basement when it got too cold. Looking over the reviews of other tables (Stiga Coronado for one) I decided to go with the Nova due to the ease of assembly and storage. The shipping was fast and the delivery company worked well with us to make sure we were home for delivery. Assembling the table was a piece of cake. All you have to do is attach the "T" sections of the legs that have the casters and all that consisted of was using the included plates and two bolts per "foot" to bolt them together. Everything else was assembled. This is my first high quality table tennis table purchase so I don't have experience with other's build quality, but the Nova is very solid. The table top is solid and flat even though it's only 6mm surface. The casters are high quality, sturdy, all metal (exept for the rubber wheel surface), and all four will independently lock. I don't feel that I have to be gentle when moving the table. The other legs are solid and have adjustable feet. The only issue that I saw were that the two different sections stood at different heights in the middle so I had to use the net bracket to even them out to play. Speaking of the net, I read quite a few people complain about the quality of the net, but I haven't had a lot of issues with it and it works just fine. If the net is a HUGE deal to you, you'll probably want to invest in a higher quality one though. Overall, I have been very happy with this purchase. I have 5 children under the age of 12 and we play on the table AT LEAST 2 hours a day between everyone and it has held up VERY well. (I was even inspired to get a JOOLA catch-net/Ipong combo to use for working out). NOTE: Due to getting this table at the start of winter I have yet to use it outside. BUT looking at the build quality (table surface, powder coating, quality of welds, etc.) I have little doubt that it would work extremely well. Read more

This is the BEST ping pong table. We had it outdoor at a short term rental vacation property and it has held up fabulously! We also have one in our home. Easy to put up and fold down out of the way! We made a product video to show up close. Read more

The quality of the table is good, setup was easy, took about 20 minutes for me and my 2 boys to assemble the table, shipping box was all torn up and I was worried about scratches and dents, luckily there was none of those, we had lots of fun playing over the Thanksgiving weekend, net posts and the net are okay quality. For some reason the table has very uneven bounce, low in some places and medium to high in some areas of the board, it is being stored outdoors under a cabana, we bought a cover for it. Overall we are satisfied with the table quality for out backyard fun. Read more

the Joola NOVA seems to be an excellent table - easy to set up, move, adjust, nice net, easy to level, and the surface which is metal [aluminum] is well painted and seems great for game play. So for all that, i give this table high marks [4 stars maybe 4.5]. However, the table was damaged in shipping even though they seemed to take a lot of care - when we received it it was in nearly a perfectly handled box- except for a small indention in the middle, which my wife insisted we take a picture of [i thought - like who cares it will be fine....] ...... So after putting it together in the middle of Christmas Eve night i look back to admire my work and to my horror there is a dent in the table surface that corresponded to the dent in the cardboard box!!!!! OH S#@T! what to do - go with it and its all good... so it was ok as my daughter is good at letting things slide and she was able to recognize the overall quality of the table over the dent in the surface. SO after holiday travel i call Amazon to see how we are going to deal with this - which for me is a point of stress as i will never get it back in the box and i don't have the time to deal with this BS! Amazon was reasonable and offered me a 25% refund... which i have tentatively accepted as i mull over it... ie i dont want to wast time but a dent in a ping pong table? yea like its not a tile missing from the space shuttle but it still sucks. So why, oh why, have i been put in this situation? Well it is surely the fault of the shipping company to some degree but it is also and as much so the fault of JOOLA who totally failed to engineer a decent packing system - the way the table was packed makes it 100% [ok 98%] certain that if anything hits the surface of the box it will damage the table - remarkable - these people make and sell ping pong table but have NO CLUE on how to build a shipping box??? So... So.... i really don't have the time to waste to deal with a return and it is playable though there is always that dent to add chaos to the game- its hard to stomach as it is so new but it is equally hard to accept the hell of trying to return it and put another table together, which who knows may also get damaged in shipping! so i feel a bit stuck with it and well at least i got a few bucks back..... Given this experience - even with the 25% back i do not think i can recommend to anyone to risk ordering a JOOLA TABLE [unless you have time to spend on this type of thing... and if u do please get a new hobby!]. Good Luck. Read more
