Keeps you cool in the pool while having lots of fun. We play with it everytime we go in the pool.You just have to shut off the filter so it doesn't move around so much.

The floating ping pong table is fun in the pool. However dont expect to play serious games on the table. It is very small and hitting a ping pong ball on a wet small table is challenging!

Our family enjoys our floating ping pong table. It adds another diminsion to our swimming pool fun. It's a good exercise game in the pool, and it is as challenging as a regular ping pong table.

It floats, but performance sinks

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Table floats well on calm surface. The net was too wide for the table and flip-floped back and forth. No instructions included to make the net work with the table.

Okay for the pool but not on dry land!
By Dr. GVerified Reviewer from Las Vegas, NV on 10/23/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Construction, Small Size
Best Uses:
Swimming pool
Describe Yourself:
Normal Person
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The product is fine to use for fun in the pool but it is not really designed for use on a table top. It is lightweight but still cumbersome to move around. I would rather have had standard size paddles. I bought this on sale but would not pay full price for it.

I bought this product for my little brother's birthday. It was a blast! The only con is that the net sags and you have to adjust it pretty frequently. Other than that, it floats and works great. It's a great addition to any pool!

"Too much whiz and not enough bang"
By coldolVerified Reviewer from Pasadena,CA on 10/22/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Fell apart quickly, Poor Construction, Poor Ergonomics, Too small
Best Uses:
Fitness
Describe Yourself:
Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

As soon as the weather really heated up, it started to warp and the layers started to peel.

It's too small for pool safe kids and too large for little kids who aren't stable in the pool with out an adult.

Good concept, lacks some details

Pros:
Durable, Fun and Unique, Lightweight, Well Constructed
Cons:
Unstable
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good diversion but the pool has to be perfectly still for it to be "fun" and a spirited game is a non starter. Overall, it gets used every other time we get in the pool.
