Indoor tables are not weather resistant but provide an excellent bounce and are good value for money. However they must not be stored in damp conditions (such as a barn or garage) as exposure to moisture will cause the playing surface to crack. They will also warp if left outside in the sun for only a short period of time. Outdoor tables are more shock resistant and can be safely stored outside all year making them more long lasting.

In the Cornilleau range, as the tables get more expensive, the playing surfaces gets thicker (for better bounce), the legs get sturdier, the frames get heavier, the wheels get larger, the net and post sets have more adjustment plus you get additional features such as a MAT top (on outdoor tables) or a SKIL Top (on indoor tables). You can use the Compare tables feature or download our product comparison chart for more details.

Yes, Cornilleau manufactures a variety of tables, both indoor and outdoor, for schools clubs and institutions. Special attention has been given to the sturdiness of the materials to ensure intensive use. There is also a range of bats designed for use in schools.

All rollaway tables can be used for solo practice - just fold one half of the table which creates a surface for you to play against. Static tables (Pro Evolutive, Pro 510 and Competition 610) are the only ones that do not have this facility.

If you have a Cornilleau outdoor table then the answer is yes. All Cornilleau outdoor tables are resistant to sun, rain, snow and frost and can be left safely outside without any risk of deterioration. We do however recommend the use of a cover. The purpose of the cover is not to keep the table dry but to keep it clean so that it is always ready to play and for additional child safety. It will also extend the life of the table.

All tables with the Compact Technology design have the entire security mechanism pre-assembled in the factory which has reduced assembly time by 30%. The assembly instructions are very clear and easy to follow and can be downloaded in advance from this website. Just go to the product you want to purchase and click the Assembly Instructions link. You should allow around 45 minutes for assembly and will need 2 people. An assembly service is also available.

All of the tables with the Compact Technology folding system are suitable for use by disabled players as the leg assembly has been designed to allow for a wheelchair under the table.

The 740, 640 and 610 Competition tables all have ITTF approval. The ITTF only approve a small number of tables and a full list can be downloaded from their website. Outdoor tables fall outside the guidelines specified for ITTF approval therefore no manufacturer can offer ITTF approved outdoor tables.

Yes, every table manufactured by Cornilleau goes beyond the requirements of the EN 14468-1 European safety standard. This standard has 4 categories for different levels of play and the product pages identify which level the table has been approved for. This is a good way to compare tables from different brands.

All our tables are manufactured to the regulation (ITTF) size of L2740 x W1525 x H760mm, except the Hobby mini table which is L1360 x W760 x H650mm.

In addition to the size required for the table itself (2.74 x 1.53m) you need to allow around 1.2m at either end of the table and about 0.6m at either side.

All Cornilleau tables have a 3 year warranty (2 years for Tectonic brand tables). The panels on the outdoor playing surface have a 5 year warranty (3 years for Tectonic tables) against deformation, delamination and disappearance of markings. This warranty is limited to the supply of parts as recognised as defective by Cornilleau.

Cornilleau guarantee the availability of spare parts for a minimum of 5 years from the last production date of any table. In reality, spares continue to be available for a much longer period of time. If you require spares for your table, please take a note of the models and serial number (located on a white label on the underside of one of the playing surfaces) and contact us with these details plus a description of the part required.
