I love the concept of this table. It is heavy and the storage benches are especially useful. We bought it for our garage - for our preteen/teenage sons and friends to play. The smaller size table fits better in our available space and actually is easier for younger players. The reason for the 4 star review is that the wood is laminated and some corners are already peeling up slightly. The place where the ping pong net attaches is already scratching the table. Overall, a great table for the garage. If I had expected this to be in my dining room, I might be disappointed with the finish construction quality.
