There is something about ping pong tables that is just appealing to people of all ages. My parents use to have a pool table when I was little but we would make it into a ping pong table buy just putting a huge piece of plywood over it and add the net. We would play for hours and our friends would just love to come over because I think that we had the only ping pong table in town or at least on the block! We did lose a lot of ping pong balls under the couch but it was a fun game!
