The finish on the top of the table was not good. The blue paint comes off on the balls. The top side of the table must have be put topside down on a conveyor because you can see where the wood was riding on the chains. I took pictures and asked for another top. They sent one but it wasn't any better than the first and it was a different shade of blue on top of that. I will not buy another Stiga table. It is clear they have no quality control because the paint colors are different. You can tell they don't have a procedures for handling what will be the top side with special care. Also there is no support metal support under the wood long the side that is under the net. It droops a bit. What a piece of ....
That sounds like a really bad table however my Stiga Expert Roller table is magic, although I was meant to pay $1100 brand new Australian, it got damaged in tranit so I took pictures and they gave me $300 off the price. The chips were minimal and I just got a phone call from someone today asking if I do table tennis table repairs for pretty much the same reason. Anyway I can say that the Stiga Expert Roller table tennis table is great. (made in Germany)
Our Noosa club had all Stiga Expert Tables and they were all great for many years BUT ALL had the blue paint come off eventually. We even got a few tables re painted but its an expensive and messy process for everyone. You may see the repainted blue is now coming off everywhere on my table but somehow it doesnt effect the bounce which is amazing. The new ones we got from pink, dont even know what they were but they wernt a known brand, are a significant improvement on the stiga i think. Bigger wheels, more solid and stable mind you, the first batch of whatever they were had to go back as they were all crap, may have been a different manufacturer though i think.
Has anyone actually bought blue paint for their Stiga ping pong table? Where can I buy the official blue paint or can it be another colour? Is it just a stiga thing where the paint comes off? Maybe I should just buy a new ping pong table instead...
We bought a Stiga ST 275
