Hello there Alois and Jeff,

I'm interested in buying a table tennis table and I have seen that there are 16mm and 19mm thick tables. Which one is better?

Thank you a lot,

Dimitris from Greece

Hi Dimitris,

The thicker the top the better the bounce is usually.

The type of wood used also makes a differences but if the wood is the same on both then the thicker wood is better.
