Cornilleau Sport 500 Indoor

A 22mm chipboard playing surface on a 50mm Aluzinc frame. Sixteen locking points hold it in place on the court or in storage.

Overview

The Cornilleau Sport 500 Indoor is a club-grade table tennis table built with a 22mm chipboard playing surface and a 50mm high Aluzinc frame, delivering consistent bounce and spin response suited to serious recreational and institutional play. Made in France and carrying FFTT approval for leisure practice, it is designed for schools, recreation centers, and demanding home users who want club-level performance in a foldable format.

Key Features

22mm Chipboard Playing Surface

The 22mm thick chipboard top delivers the bounce height and spin response associated with club-level play. While not ITTF-approved for sanctioned tournament competition, it meets FFTT standards for high-quality leisure practice and is well above entry-level table specifications.

50mm Aluzinc Frame for a Flat Playing Surface

The 50mm high frame is constructed from Aluzinc, a zinc-aluminum alloy that resists corrosion and maintains structural rigidity over years of use. Its width provides the reinforced stability needed to keep the playing surface genuinely flat across the full 274 x 152cm table area.

16-Point Patented Locking System (DSI)

Cornilleau's patented DSI locking system engages 16 individual points, securing the table both in the open playing position and in the folded storage position. An additional automatic safety lock engages at 65° if the handle is released mid-fold, preventing uncontrolled collapse.

Automatic Height- and Tension-Adjustable Net

The net posts deploy automatically when the table is unfolded. A wheel at the base of each post adjusts playing height; a pull-and-clasp mechanism sets net tension independently. Both adjustments are tool-free.

COMPACT TECHNOLOGY Folding System with Dual Brakes

Cornilleau's COMPACT TECHNOLOGY folding design closes the two table halves tightly together in storage, eliminating the gap that children could enter between the tops in standard designs. Two floor brakes hold the folded table in place on uneven or sloped surfaces, and 3D-adjustable leg pads (104mm diameter) level the table on uneven floors without tools.

Integrated Storage: Six Ball Slots and Two Accessory Pockets

Six dedicated ball storage slots are positioned on each side of the table, keeping balls accessible without leaving them on the floor. Two large accessory pockets on the frame hold phones, keys, and other personal items during play.

How It Plays

Players experience a firm, consistent return off the 22mm chipboard surface — the extra panel thickness produces a bounce height and spin hold closer to competition tables than to recreational models. The wide 50mm frame keeps the surface flat from end line to end line, so neither player encounters dead zones near the edges. Bystanders see a full-size 274 x 152cm court with a cleanly tensioned automatic net, visually indistinguishable from a club installation.

Why Buyers Love It

20-Year Repairability Commitment

Cornilleau guarantees spare parts availability for 20 years from purchase — an unusually long serviceability window for a recreational table. The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, while the 20-year repair program means the table can be maintained and kept in play long after most competitors' parts availability ends.

Indoor Double Wheels Built for Soft Floors

The 30 x 150mm double wheels are specifically designed for indoor surfaces. Their material composition avoids marking or scuffing gym floors, hardwood, and sport-court vinyl — surfaces that standard hard plastic wheels damage over time.

Folded Footprint Fits Tight Storage Spaces

In storage position the table measures 165 x 75.3 x 155.5cm — a narrow upright profile that fits against a wall or in a storage closet without occupying floor space proportional to the full playing area. The COMPACT TECHNOLOGY design keeps both halves tightly closed, which also prevents the gap common in butterfly-fold tables.

Four Molded Corner Guards

All four playing-surface corners are fitted with rounded protective pads that soften impact against the table edge. In shared spaces — gyms, recreation rooms, classrooms — this reduces the risk of injury from contact with the frame during play or while moving around the table.

Ideal Placement

The 500 Indoor is built for schools and physical education programs, recreation centers, sports clubs, and home game rooms where club-level performance is the target. Its floor-safe wheels and tight folded profile make it well-suited for multi-use gymnasiums and shared activity spaces that need the table stored between sessions.
