table tennis table

Net-divided playing platform

A table tennis table is the rectangular playing surface used for ping-pong—a large, flat table divided by a low net.

Standard tables measure about nine feet long and five feet wide, with a dark green or blue surface marked with white boundary lines.

The table's smooth, uniform surface allows the lightweight ball to bounce predictably.
