35' x 15' sounds like a really good size. We've been wanting to set up a table tennis table in our house since we moved to the U.S. My wife (the real table tennis expert in the family) wanted a room about the same length, but somewhat wider than 15 ft. We are still working on it getting a house with that kind of space.
