The Stiga (pronounced Steega) Premium Compact T8513 is a tournament level table from an established brand.
From the Stiga Tournament range of tables, this is the eighth level in that series.
So let's take a closer look at all aspects of this table so that you can decide whether it's the right table for you.
You may also want to read my article explaining how to choose the right table tennis table for you. I recommend that you don't buy ANY table tennis table until you've read it.
Note: Very few tables have rackets (also known as paddles or bats) and balls supplied as standard, so you'll need to check with your supplier if you need them.
