What thickness tabletop should I buy for a ping pong table?

Reviewer consensus

Specialist r/tabletennis discussions consistently recommend at least 18mm (about 0.75 inch) for serious recreational play, with 25mm (1 inch) considered the tournament standard. Anything thinner flexes and produces inconsistent bounce. Pro-level tables go up to 30mm.
