Hi,

The Table is 9ft or 2.74m by 5ft or 1.525m.  The height of the surface off the floor is 76cm and the height of the net is 6in or 15.25cm.  Just as a little trick to remember the metric measurements... If you add up the digits within each measure in the metric measurements they all add up to 13... 2 + 7 + 4 etc...

Here is a link to our rules booklet that will also help you if you have any other rules questions.
