I'm wanting to get a fold up ping pong table for my shop. Something to do when we're needing a break from car things.
Anyway, I'm looking at both new and used, and while I don't want to spend a fortune, I also don't want junk.
So any suggestions for brands/models that are of sufficient quality without breaking the bank?
I have an indoor Kettler that I picked up used for about $300 with everything. Excellent quality and been using it for the last two years.
We started playing with my brother in laws and let me tell you, its addictive :D.

Wally World had one for $219? It looked pretty decent.
I'll turn my attention elsewhere if you take the one our office bought. I can't get any damn work done with the noise all the time.
Look for a solid used table. Kettler makes decent stuff. So does Stiga, Butterfly, and Tibhar. I've got an old Harvard table that still plays pretty well, with a good net set by Tibhar.
For anyone that cares, I play a Yasaka Mark V blade, with Mark V and Tornado rubber. Stinks they stopped making Tornado.
Despite their kinky name, the Paddle Palace is a great place for buying table tennis gear. They've been in business since before 1980.
