Our Stiga outdoor table arrived only two weeks ago, so this is a preliminary review. But it arrived in good shape (no factory or shipping dings), was easy to assembly (unlike some tables), and appears well constructed. Surfaces line up perfectly, table response is uniform, structure appears strong and stable, blue surface provides good visibility contrast for ball. Altogether, a good table for kids and nonprofessional adults. It's too early to assess durability in semi-outdoor conditions (screened porch) in South Carolina near beach, but it's off to a good start.

I bought this "outdoor" table about 5 years ago. Keep in mind that I live in one of the mildest climates in the US: SF Bay area. The table was always kept out of the direct weather during winter-time, not indoors, but sheltered. Starting just after 1 year, the problems started with water ingress swelling the pressboard material underneath the aluminum top surface. This aluminum is beer can thin and blistered and delaminated near the edges. Stiga would not support this problem since the warranty was expired by a few months. Now the 5 year old table surface has blistered to the point where normal play is impossible. Icing on the cake: the legs are rusty and folding is stiff. When I bought this table I thought it would be in excellent shape for 10+ years. Try 14 months. I would try another manufacturer that has mastered the art of waterproofing and backs their products for longer than 1 season. What a waste of $600! I will not buy Stiga again.

Very sturdy table and easy to assemble (with 2 people) in about 20 minutes. You can tell it's going to last.Stiga Eclipse Outdoor Table Tennis Table
