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.

For those who is really afford to have their own table, usually is either rich
or really into the sport. It must be fun to have it, but only to those who know how to play.
For beginners, usually will have tough time with it and admire others who play well. Just like the one i saw in youtube the other day. The player really crazy! They looks like matrix actors, make me hard to believe!
