For table tennis enthusiasts, playing your favorite game just got better and easier. Gone are the days when people had a hell of a time setting up table tennis tables.
With the state of the art technology, Franklin Sports – a sports equipment making company based in the United States – came up with Franklin Quikset Table Tennis Table. Their idea was to help people turn their game room into a table tennis central in the shortest time.

Assembly
Franklin Sports Quikset Table Tennis Table features an innovative design. You can set-up in minutes and folds up in seconds. Open the product box, and you are ready to play in a matter of minutes.
Tabletop
The table is tournament size – 9 feet x 5 feet x 29.5 inches. There is an extra thick 9mm HDF for the top of the table supported by a rigid metal frame and legs.
It is constructed with high-quality playing surface, which offers optimal bounce height, just like other more expensive table tennis tables.
Net and Post
The net and post come with the table. The post is not common. It is specially designed just for the Franklin Quickset table. There are two wing nuts on each side where you need to take off first and insert them on the two designated holes on each half of the table.
You will need to screw the wingnuts back on the inside of the table, and once the two posts have been installed on the table, you can place the net onto it.
The net has two bungees on each side, and you need to slide the two bungees onto the post to complete the net installation.
Leg Levelers
It has a durable stability steel bar reinforcement on each edge and a one-inch leg lever to ensure rock-solid stability,
The leg levelers are adjustable. You can adjust the height of the table to make it level if you are placing the table on an uneven floor.
Foldable For Storage
The table is designed in two halves. The table can be easily folded after gameplay and can be put in a closet or under a bed for storage.
Built-in Hinge System
Though the Quikset design allows for easy and fast setup, its built-in hinge system firmly locks the table in place and amazingly folds when you are finished.
Easy Transport
The table is designed with built-in handles, making transportation of the table very easy. With such a design, you will pick up the folding table and transport it anywhere.

Final Thought
Having said all this, it important to say that the product was designed with two sets of customers in mind – those who are space-limited but strongly want to play table tennis and beginners who want to have some fun with ping pong.
You might encounter some minor problems when assembling the table. Trying to set up each half of the table upside down may give you some problems. You will have to flip them over and to put them together. The table has supports you have to put in place to keep the table from drooping.
Another problem you might encounter is when you move the table as a whole once you connect the net with the halves of the table. This is because the halves are designed to be connected by the net. Trying to budge one side, however, moves that side alone, leaving the other side.
The Franklin Sports Quikset Table Tennis Table, is the best choice to go for if you desire portability and want to reduce the unnecessary stress of assembling and disassembling your table after use. In addition to this, you don’t have to worry about storage space.
