This unit is very well made and the weight and thickness make for a completely solid tabletop so the balls bounce off it just as they would a regular table tennis table.In fact, since this is sitting on a billiards table that has considerably more heft than a ping pong table, this might be an even more solid surface on which to play.

Just know that it requires two people to set up - the box in which it comes it about five feet square and three inches thick - the table ships as two pieces which are held together with the (included) net holder. It is a solid unit.
