A ping pong table is a rectangular table used for playing the game of table tennis. It is typically 2.74 meters long, 1.525 meters wide, and 76 centimeters high. The surface is divided by a net in the middle, and players use paddles to hit a lightweight ball back and forth across the table. The table is usually made of wood or a similar material, providing a smooth playing surface. Ping pong can be played in singles or doubles, making it a popular recreational activity in homes, schools, and sports clubs around the world.
