The other reviews are all pretty accurate. It is a great table, good true bounce. And I particularly like how easy it is to fold up and take down. Couldn't be easier. As other reviewers have noted, it took almost exactly three hours to assemble, but it really wasn't difficult. Just go slowly and follow the directions carefully, and get a helper when it comes to lifting each half of the actual table top. I'm keeping mine outside, under a carport, with the Butterfly Cover on it (also highly recommended at $67 from Amazon). I used to play a lot as a kid, and I'm happy to be playing again. Table suits us perfectly. And though it's a little pricey, the free shipping made it comparable to the bargain tables, and it's well worth the few extra dollars.

pretty good table. the steel frame is not as sturdy as i wanted but for the price range it's great. (if you want tournament quality you have to pay at least 800). but provided that I'm not going to move this table around too much in the basement the frame really isn't an issue for me. the wood top has a nice feel and the bounce is great. can't complain. -1 star for the net design. the net that comes with it is a little cheap. and the net support is attached to the table assembly so even if I want to replace the net with a better set it may get in the way. assembly time is just over 2 hours for me with 2 persons working on it so it's really not bad at all.

I 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.
