Thanks to Susan Sarandon who single handedly made Ping Pong a cool sport once again, I started to look for a table for the family. Dilemma is we do not have enough space.

Umbra has the nifty ping pong net that goes on any table. However, I really do not want my 7yr old to be swinging the paddle around our dinning table. Plus, it is more of a novelty item.

Growing up in Hong Kong, we take ping pong very seriously. I have never been as good as my brother or cousins, but I can definitely play vs my husband and friends.

The other choice is to get the fold up table and wheel it in a corner in the basement and drag it out every time. Reality check, it will stay in the corner and eventually be listed on Craig’s list as no one would bother to take it out.

Then during our visit to the Cottage sho , I came across an OUTDOOR ping pong table by Cornilleau.  ( BTW – Tom at Gilchrist was so helpful!)

This Outdoor Table Tennis Table is hugely popular and includes a MATTOP anti-glare finish, for playing in bright sun with proper ball adherence. The 300 M has a sturdy arched leg design for a unique look & solid support. Play a traditional 2-on-2 match or fold into play-back position for individual practice.

The Sport 300 folds into a compact storage position to save space. It includes double-wheel casters for mobility.

This is great for the backyard or at the cottage. Due to it’s superb quality, you can just leave it out during the winter. I did decide to buy a cover to protect the investment.

What is suppose to be a family treat, has now become a party pleaser. Why go to SPIN ( The ping Pong social club) when you can just show up at our place :)
