Player Experience Using the STIGA Expert Roller Table Tennis Table

Where can you get it?

You can purchase the STIGA Roller from online retail centers. Higher-end STIGA tables can be tough to find locally. Online, we recommend sticking with a big supplier. Smaller suppliers will sometimes have tables that have been inventoried for a more extended period and may have been dinged up in the process.
Who wants a nicked up STIGA Roller? Typically when you go with a big online e-tailer, they move volumes of inventory that tables don’t get “shuffled around.”
