Butterfly TR21 Personal Rollaway Table Tennis Table (Green)ReviewsI went with the brand and trusted the Butterfly. Unfortunately they failed me. It is very light weight compared to some other tables in the market. The Shipping company does not have my email or telephone no. So sent a mail in USPS for a schedule date and sat with the table for over a week. The moment I called them they are delivered the table on the next day. Amazon could have done a bit better here supplying me the Shipping company number and instructing to me to call them. So that I could have received my order a week ahead. There was a broken part in the shipment as it was miss handled (there was a 6X6" hole on the outer package that was covered with a cardboard), notified Amazon, never received any reply back on that. The broads are pretty good. However the center pieces, which holds the boards together are flimsy. They are couple of metal sheets, which can easily bent and plastic stuff to hold them together. The legs are 1/2" pipes and if you touch the board for a shot the entire table will move. I think Butterfly can do much better than this for the prices. Due to the center piece every bounce of the ball will resound and gives a feel that the ball is bouncing too much on the board. It is 200Lb and took 4-5hr for me to install. Be sure you have some one who can lift each board, which is around 80Lb, around. My wife helped me with this. after setting it up it works as expected. NO alignment issues. I felt like I paid double the price just for the brand name. I would recommend NOT to buy this one unless you use this for decoration and occasional play. There are better tables than this for less prices in the market. Also you may want to consider physically looking (NOT the photos) at the table before you order. Very good table, but in spite of repeated customer complaints, Butterfly still ships the table with a lousy net. I guess, in order to save money, the delivery company Amazon hired put only one person (the driver) on the delivery truck, and the driver told me he could not lift the package (190 pounds and much bigger than I imagined) by himself. So, I saw him dragging the package off the truck, letting it slump heavily on his freight cart. And the worst thing is he unloaded the heavy and big package in my yard instead of bringing it inside the house, because as he said he could not lift it two steps up to my door and move it inside by himself. According to the driver, there was a possibility that he could bring the package indoor if my house has no any steps in front.Unfortunately, there are two small steps in front of my door. So I had to call my friends (two men) to come to help me get it inside because it was about to rain that night. I have this table now for a month and it is very nice. The table top is dark green and has a professional quality to it. It went together easily and took about 3 hours by myself. The table size is actually 11/16" of an inch when I measured it. Shipping was free and it arrived in 4 days!! I love it and so does my family. There were a couple of huge problems with this product. First of all it said it was eligible for prime shipping which is supposed to mean two days. In fact it took 8 days to get there. The reason I picked this item was because it was eligible for prime shipping. Secondly, it was a gift for a friend in another state. It's a huge package, which she had to have her father have come over to help her open. After they started getting it set up, there was a missing part. I contacted Amazon, by phone, and then by e-mail, and all they said was they don't replace parts. The only thing she could have done was pack the huge thing back up, and ship it back to Amazon so they could send her another one, and who knows if the new one whould have had all the parts. I doubt that I will ever again order something large like this from Amazon as a gift. Post script: A few days after I called and e-mailed Amazon, and ordered and paid for another net, they finally e-mailed me the phone number of the manufacturer. If it not been a gift this would have resolved everything. I wasn't comfortable asking the gift recipient to now return the extra net. But it did give me more confidence in Amazon to resolve such issues, assuming again that it wasn't a gift. I now know to push for the phone number of the manufacturer. Average Rating:![]() |
