JOOLA Ping Pong Conversion Top with Net Set for Billiard and Pool Tables - Regulation Top Converts Billiards into Ping Pong Table - Includes Foam Padding for Protection - Steel Frame Option

We have always had standalone table tennis tables in the past, but have a smaller basement now and didn't have space for a ping-pong table in addition to our pool table. I read a lot reviews for different table top conversions and had some worries about conversion tops generally and each particular brand specifically. I have been very happy with this purchase. I was happy that I bought the version with the metal apron - it is very sturdy and substantial, but easy to put on and take off. The net that comes with it is very nice and attaches securely. The center supports that go on the pool table under the conversion top ensure that the table does not sag at all in the middle. The blue color is beautiful and the top plays very well. I put a single layer of moving blankets on top of the pool table before putting the conversion top on and when removing the conversion top after playing, the pool table is not marked or scratched at all. After a successful holiday season of games in the basement and some epic ping-pong battles, I think I like playing on this conversion top better than the high quality Stiga standalone tables we have purchased in the past. Super happy.

Great to put over a air hockey table or a big table that has no use. It fits great and is extremely portable. It is really sturdy and great for hitting balls or playing with friends. It was really easy to assemble with great instructions. Great value for the money

Table is very nice looking--I love the color of the top. It's a nice charcoal gray--not the green you find on most ping pong tops. It looks great in my red & black game room. (Go Dawgs!) This table top would be at home in very fancy, elegant game rooms. It fits well on my older pool table which is 52" wide and 92" long. The table top itself is exactly 5' wide and 9' long, so there's some overhang all the way around, but it doesn't look odd. I will probably end up making some sort of a brace to support the very middle of the table top. There is no sagging now, but I'm afraid it's bound to sag a little if left on the pool table long-term. It's a pretty wide span between the rails and the table top is pretty heavy. Speaking of heavy, the table is heavier than I expected. That's good and bad. The weight and thickness provide a great playing surface. The table is solid and seems to play very true at all spots on the table. However, I really struggle to install it by myself (I've done it a couple times solo, but it's not easy). It really is a 2-person job to place and/or remove the table top. I did have the net and posts in a box within the bigger box. Really wasn't very hard to find for me, but then again I knew what to expect based on the other reviews. Set up of the net is a little different than others I've seen, but it's not difficult and has worked well for me. Delivery was easy--the delivery guy brought the box off his truck and took it all the way to my garage. From there, I used my handtruck to move it to my basement. Again, it's heavy, but very do-able even solo with a handtruck. If you don't have a handtruck, you definitely need 2 people to move the box. I had a couple spots of some kind of residue on the playing surface. It looked like dried glue or epoxy. I emailed the company right away with pictures to make them aware of how it was received. They were very responsive and opened a ticket right away to address it. In the end, I was able to easily remove it with a wet rag (it dissolved easily) so I didn't have to pursue the customer service claim, but it's nice to know they were responsive and seemingly willing to correct if I couldn't remove it or if removing it damaged my playing surface. It would be awesome if the company made some kind of a rolling storage rack to store the top when not in use. I'm considering trying to make something like that, as right now I just have to lean the tops against a wall. With 4 kids, I worry that a top will get knocked over and hurt one of them or the top. A nice, compact, secure, mobile storage rack would be a great accessory to have. All-in-all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product for anyone with a pool table who also wants a ping pong table but doesn't have the room for both. Because converting back and forth isn't extremely easy (although not too bad), if you have the room for both, I would opt for a stand-alone ping pong table. If you're in the market for a conversion top as I was, you can't go wrong with this one.

Received my conversion top yesterday. As many other's described there was damage to the box and, consequently damage to the table. However, Joola packs the table and ships it so the side of the box that rests on the floor of the truck, pallet, warehouse has the middle or connecting part of the conversion top (the part that goes under the net. So, you really cannot see the damage and does not affect the play of the table. The table's actual thickness of MDF material is 9/16" but add the rubber backing to bring it closer to 3/4'. Still, a very good mid-grade table. When I set this on my pool table I had a bit of sag. Now, the top is heavy, but the leather pockets on my table are not flush with the rails, they actually are raised a bit which gives it a nice look. Add to that, I left the cover on my pool table for protection so that adds a bit. So here is what I did to compensate for any sag, In my case it worked perfect. You may find you need to only glue 3 high instead of 4 high if you try this. Or, you may want to use 2x4 or 1x2 strips of pine. I just re-used what was already there....... 1. After the table was unpacked there was 4 thin and long pieces of unfinished compressed particle board. I simply cut each in half to make 8 thin and half as long pieces. 2. I then used wood glue and 2 clamps and glued 4 pieces together and let set as directed (gorilla wood glue about 30 minutes) and then repeated this step for the remaining 4 pieces. 3. I placed then long ways on the table so that the middle of each length is under the net, of course I spread them out to a nice even spacing. I DID GET A NET...IT WAS IN THE INVISIBLE BOX IN THE PACKAGING!! After thinking for at least 2 minutes that I got screwed and didn't get the net, there it was in a smallish box. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT JOOLA PLACE A GREEN OR ORANGE STICKER ON THIS BOX. Ok, having said that, the net is actually not bad it sets up nice, but don't try to make it taught because the string (see picture) that Joola uses to lace through the top of the net is really poor. On initial setup, the string actually began to fray and split and I am hanging on to a thin strand now. Not a problem for today, but when I will need to add more tension, I will snap the string. So, for now I am going to just see if I can use some Kite string (which is usually much stronger) and tie it to the end of the existing string and carefully thread it through the top of the net. I also order the JOOLA WM Table Tennis Net Set which Joola claims is their top of the line net. I'll use the pro-net and have the stock net as backup. Overall, this is a nice conversion top. It is heavy enough to stay put and the rubber backing also helps with that. The black finish is appealing to me. I am happy with my decision to purchase this item.

The quality is outstanding

ممتازة جدا مصنوعة من خشب أم دي أف ثقيلة نوعاً ما و يجي معاها شبك الحين أقدر أحول بين طاولة البلياردو و تنس الطاولة بكل سهولة

We bought this to go on our 9x5 pool table for the benefit of guests who don't shoot pool (and my wife who prefers ping pong). Complete, easy to set up, looks good, and folds easily to store underneath.

Does the job it's meant for perfectly. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide table and I still got it to work. Testament of it weightedness and sturdiness

For this price, ie around Aed 370–Aed 400 it is good. Don’t have expectation it to be perfect. It is near perfect to expectation. Since this is folding it has some marginal uneven surface. However can be folded. Expect 2 strong person to unfold/ fold the same. Table size is standard but net height is smaller than standard. I donot know why the net provided has less height than standard.
