Matthew Hill asks:

How big is the current legal table size because at home i have a big one and at school we have one thats about 10-20cm shorter which one?

Greg replies:

The size of the table tennis table is set out in Law 2.1.1 which is as follows:

The upper surface of the table, known as the playing surface, shall be rectangular, 2.74m long and 1.525m wide, and shall lie in a horizontal plane 76cm above the floor.

You will occasionally see table of different sizes, although they would never be used for official competions under ITTF rules. They can still be fun to play on though!
