My advice is to stick with the clamp grip posts so they can be used on any table without any problems or having to make a home made adjustment just to make it fit.

We tried to replace an old net on Kettler table with a cheaper variety but it sagged and we had no ability to tighten as necessary. So it is worth paying extra to get this style for the Kettler table.

This net works perfect on Kettler tables, just don't leave it in the sun or it will rot

The net came quickly in the mail and was exactly as described - great service and I would recommend it Thank you

This net is perfect for those of us that don't have a permanent spot for the table. It is very easy to take on & off the table. No screws to turn. No clamps. The design keeps the net taut with a minimum of hardware. I have had my table for over ten years and am on my second net, which is pretty good durability.

Though it says nothing about it in the product description, this table comes in over 100 pieces. The instructions are quite poor. Most images have no verbiage detailing what the diagrams refer to, individual parts have changed without the instructions being updated, and English is an afterthought and poorly translated. The overall experience so far has been terrible. Several parts don't fit and the instructions say ridiculous things like, "To do this (step) the braces for the frame must be bent slightly to the side. Proceed with care when doing this." Really? I am about 1.5 hours into putting it together. And I expect it will take another 4 hours at this rate. About 60% of the time is trying to understand what the instructions refer to -- 20% of the time is trying to find the correct parts because many bolts have been substituted without updating the instructions. Once you know what to do, it's probably 10% of the time in effort. So you'll probably only spend 1 hour actually working on it IF you have the correct tools. Two small wrenches are provided but you will need your own flat head, Phillips, rubber mallet or hammer, and ratchet set (because the little wrenches provided are not very efficient). Of course, the description does not mention this. I suggest a power screw driver -- many of the screws (an bolts) are 40 - 60 MM -- that's a lot of twisting ;-) Anyone can go to their local sporting goods store and purchase an assembled table for 1/2 the price. So far "German quality" is a complete rip off and there is absolutely no value that I can see over a model of 1/2 the price with the SOLE exception that the bottom of the table is supported with metal to prevent warping of the top. Other than that -- it's a ping pong table in pieces that you're on your own putting together. And it costs 3 times any others. I'm going to put a few more hours into it and then update.
