There are some good table tennis tables and then there are some great table tennis tables. You must know which one you would buy, and for that, you should make sure that you are looking for a professional level table or for the recreation level playing equipment. The STIGA STS 285 table is above the mediocre table and it is surely one of the best tables for the professional level players.

STIGA STS 285 Review

STIGA STS 285 table table comes with almost full assembly. You do not need to spend much time on this thing for assembling. Within 10 minutes of unpacking, you can start using this table.

You can keep the table folded, and that also makes it easy to store. The net that comes with the package does not need to be taken out while it will be kept in the folded position.

The easy to open and easy to fold mechanism makes the table a handy option for the senior adults and young ones.

The tabletop of STIGA STS 285 is ¾ inch thick and it comes with silk-screened striping. This is a great way to make the table look gorgeous. The bounce consistency of the table makes it a great item as it will always offer you the best playing experience.

There are 2-inch legs and 3 inch Mag wheels in STIGA STS 285 which make the table stands stably on the undercarriage. It will not wobble or skid while playing. The two sets of ball bearing on the wheels make it more supportive of the frame. Also, the floor is not damaged when you drag it from one place to another.

  • There are capped legs at each side of the table. Along with that, the one set of wheeled legs will allow you to fold the table into halves. Each half will stand on its own.
  • The powder-coated steel apron makes the table rustproof and weather-ready. Though this is an indoor table and should be used mostly under the roof, still you can use it sometimes on the open garden or terrace.
  • There is also the patented half-length ball storage which will make the table a great item. You can keep the balls stored within it and thus you will be able to find them while you will start to play.
  • The 72 inches Pivoting Net and post set is included in the package, and you should not have to worry about buying the accessories for playing on this table.
  • The dimension of STIGA STS 285 is great. Two players can play on this top comfortably as it is 60 inches wide and 108 inches deep. When you use this table on single-user position it becomes 60 inches wide. Storage position is also quite neat as it takes minimum space to get stored in any corner of your house.
  • You can practice the solo game on this table. While you will fold it in one half, the rest will help you to play the self game. The ball holder will be accessible even at this position.
  • This is not a high-end table but for the price it comes at, it is definitely a steal. You can get this table from any online store at a budget price and it will sustain a few years if you do not keep it outside for too long.

Pros:

  • Fully assembled
  • Easy storage
  • Durable tabletop
  • Great bounce

Cons:

  • For indoor use only
  • Net hardware of plastic

The users are almost happy about this product.  You will love its finish and the smart look along with the great utility. This is easily available and will be a good buy if you wish to practice the game to become a professional one in the near future.
