Need help?Do you have a question about the Stiga T8721 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the Escalade Sports STIGA T8721 (ST2000) Table Tennis Table, a recreational sports device designed for home use.
The STIGA T8721 (ST2000) Table Tennis Table is designed for playing table tennis. It features a foldable design, allowing for compact storage when not in use and easy setup for play. The table can be configured for single-player practice (playback position) or for multi-player games. Its construction emphasizes stability and ease of assembly, making it suitable for a home environment. The table is equipped with safety latches to secure it in both playing and storage positions, preventing accidental unfolding or collapsing.
The table consists of two halves, each with a playing surface made of particle board. The playing surface is painted on the top side, and the underside is protected by a shipping container to prevent damage during transit. The table utilizes a system of "U" supports and "U" legs for stability. The hardware includes various screws, nuts, washers, and plastic spacers, with specific sizes and types detailed in the hardware identifier section (e.g., 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 Hex. Hd. Bolt, #8-32 x 1-1/4 Tormillo SMS, #10 Flat Washer). The table also includes casters for mobility, allowing it to be easily moved when folded. Safety latches are a critical component, ensuring the table remains securely in its desired position. The overall dimensions and weight are not explicitly stated but are implied by the components and assembly instructions. The table is designed to be assembled by at least two adults.
Assembly: The table requires assembly upon receipt. The manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions with illustrations to guide users through the process. Key steps include attaching the "U" supports and legs, installing the casters, and securing the table halves together. Users are advised to read the manual carefully before beginning assembly and to use a Phillips screwdriver for most hardware. Safety glasses are recommended during assembly. It is crucial to ensure all hardware is tightened securely but not over-tightened to avoid stripping. The manual highlights the importance of correctly orienting components like the "U" legs and ensuring all pilot holes align.
Folding and Storage: The table is designed for easy folding. To fold the table, users must release the safety latches, lift one half of the table, and then fold it vertically. The manual provides instructions for both opening and closing the table, emphasizing the use of safety latches to prevent accidental movement. When folded, the table occupies a smaller footprint, making it suitable for storage in areas with limited space. The casters facilitate moving the folded table.
Playback Position: The table can be set up in a playback position, where one half is folded vertically while the other remains horizontal. This allows a single player to practice against the vertical half. The safety latches are essential for securing the table in this configuration.
Safety: Safety is a paramount concern. The manual includes multiple "CAUTION" warnings throughout, advising users on critical safety procedures. These include:
Cleaning: To clean the table surface, use a soft, damp (NOT WET) cloth only. To prevent damage to the table's playing surface, DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS, ABRASIVE OR CLEANING PRODUCTS on your table's playing surface.
Maintenance of the Table: Periodically check all moving parts of your table, including the pivot points, to ensure they are secure and easy to use. This will ensure the safety and ease of use of your table.
Storage: The table must be stored indoors to prevent damage to the playing surface. Dampness and extreme temperature changes can cause the wood to warp, swell, crack, or blister. When your table is not in use, it should be folded up in a dry area. Due to the nature of particle board, table top may bow. Damp and humid conditions will amplify this. This is normal and does not affect playability of table.
Unlevel Floors: If the table does not seem level, it is probably due to uneven or unlevel floors. Set the table in its PLAYING POSITION and move table several inches in different directions to find the best location for the table. If the floor is extremely unlevel, table may not play or operate properly. If table is high in the center, shim up under the outer U-legs.

The warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, unreasonable use, negligence, improper service, or failure to follow instructions.
