Tables for table tennis must comply
with the regulation dimensions. Tables must be nine feet long, five feet
across, and two and one-half feet high(floor to playing surface). The
surface of the table must be a dull, non-reflective color that contrasts
with the white and orange colors of the balls. Black, navy blue, and
green are popular colors.
The tops of the tables have black edge band, with double wheel casters
and corner protection pads. They have steel support apron and
self-opening "U" legs and chassis with support panel. Many
tables have round steel legs.
