we needed a table that was smaller than regulation and this was our best option. we had ordered from amazon 3 times and it came severely damaged all three times. luckily we found it on wayfair for cheaper and free shipping. it came with the tiniest bit of damage on the corner, but its not very noticeable and we love the table. you have to get used to playing on a smaller table, but it makes you a better player. the top can scuff easy so you have to be careful not to scratch the paddle to the table when you're playing.
