For the 85th edition of Neiman Marcus' Christmas book, the company has included the Tom Burr Ping Pong Set as one of the many charitable items you can buy.
The Tom Burr Ping Pong Set is probably one of the slickest tennis tables I've ever come across. It's got a suave black look that evokes a luxurious modern aesthetic. Both the paddles and net have the same, sleek aesthetic in keeping with the theme. The surface is made from rubber which helps the balls bounce more.
Each Tom Burr Ping Pong Set sold will have $2500 donated to Big Brothers and Big Sister charity. Only 10 units have been produced, so get it while it's hot.
