A cool ping pong table is the last thing I think about, but James DeWulf has proven me wrong.
If you've ever wanted to up the "cool" factor in table tennis, James DeWulf will be more than happy to help out with his concrete ping pong dining table. The countertop is made out of solid concrete which gives it a bit of an urban edge. The item is to regulation size for anyone who's thinking about authenticity. Of course, as its name suggests, the Ping Pong Dining Table can also be used as a proper dining room table, but where's the fun in that compared to an intense game of swinging rackets?
The table combines both style and practicality. Whether it's entertaining guests or a friendly game of ping pong, James DeWulf combines two forms of social entertainment brilliantly.
