Beautiful table, great features, impossible assembly!
By Ghenghis
Otherwise its a 5 star product. Kettler is a German company that I'm told makes the best tables on the market, and this is surely an impressive design. The heavy duty blue top is very attractive and has a durable finish, and the best feature of all is that this unit folds up to a compact 25" for storage and the dual caster system allows it to roll freely until you need to lock them in place with the provided pedal locks. You get a true bounce and the net system is very sturdy as well. Also has a built in cradle for storing your paddles.
Where Kettler falls down is with their assembly instructions....they are horrible. I was told to expect about a 2 hour assembly time with the help of another adult. 4-6-8 hours is more like it if you have some mechanical ability and don't have any problem decoding Kettler's cryptic "step by step" instruction. I was also told the assembly would arrive "80%" complete. hahahahahahaha gag whock choke hahahahahaha
This Top Star is actually a one man assembly until you get to the point where you need to mount the first side onto its sliding leg mounts (read instructions closely and "click" before mounting) and then you'll need help flipping the second side over from its crate to assemble the legs. Each side weighs close to 100lbs and they are very awkward to handle so make sure you have some beef on your team before attempting to put this thing together.
The marketing material says that "all tools are supplied" but thats not entirely true either. You will need a hammer (yes, a hammer), a 1/2" wrench and socket set, and a workable understanding of the metric system. The plastic corner braces that hold the shipping carton together are throw aways, they are not used in the assembly although they look as they might be. Go to KettlerUSA's website and read the pdf instruction manual before buying to get a glimpse of what you are in for.
All in all its a happy purchase, its looks cant be beaten and it folds nicely and up out of the way in the garage. Kettler supplies NO extra parts, so keep track cause these parts are NOT replaceable at Ace Hardware, trust me.... and spares are 10 days to 2 weeks. A 5 star product that loses a point for degree of difficulty and lackluster support.
NOTES AFTER ONE WEEK: OK, forget what I just said, this thing is a huge design disaster. The corners are attached to flimsy slide mounts that allow you to fold the table, they are subject to failure....massive failure and I now have two corners of the table that are being held together by Gorilla Glue and Liquid Nails.
DEAR KETTLER, you cannot hold this mdf tabletop together with these small 3/4" screws and no internal threads. This thing SUCKS! I'd send it back but the dealer advised me I'm stuck with it.
Anybody looking at this table beware there are a number of issues with the design that will shorten the life of the table if you intend to store it in the folded position after play time. What a nightmare. Derated to 2.5 stars.

Well made but ball bounce is way below regulation.
By HT customer
Table is very well built and assembly was very straightforward. The table folds well, is very stable and handles well when folded and moved.
The problem is that the bounce of the ball off of the table is far below regulation so it does not play like a regular table - very disappointing for a table of this price.

Kettler is tops
By John
We received a Kettler Topstar XL weatherproof table as a Christmas present about 4 or 5 years ago. Yes, the assembly was a bit daunting, but the quality is superb. It has functioned perfectly since we got it and all three of my kids enjoy table tennis. We fold it up and wheel it into our garage when we aren't using it. The plastic thingies that hold the net tight have dried out after 4 years of storing in a Texas garage with no A/C, but parts are available through the Kettler website. We have worn out our set of Panda paddles. I would highly recommend the quality, finish and engineering of this table.
