We are cramped but could do a full-size. Is this good for 10-yr old (and family) to get into pingpong or better to go full size with some constraints?

Works great for my grandchildren and adults. If you are a more serious player, probably would need full size.

To be honest, it's tough to have much of a game on the Joola.It's attractive and well built ...just real small!

i would say go bigger - we have had 4 people in it and had to be careful not to kick one another.

You know, it's about scale for me. I bought the 12-in. for my 6-yr old, it looks fine. I just asked my 9-yr old to ride it, it just seems to be too small. The foot board especially (she's a kid's 5 in shoes). I'm not sure of the actual size difference between the two options, but I would guess that the 14-in would accommodate a larger, heavier child. Amazon's description seems to apply only to one model, so I couldn't make a real comparison.

I have a small family, smaller seemed like enough. If I was needing a lot or going to use it more often I would get a bigger one. You don't have to fill it.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it.Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase.

I believe the weight limit is 150 pounds and therefore not recommended for adults. We have 2 children (3 and 5) who fit in it well, but it would be too cumbersome for children above 10 and certainly for adults. For us, it will be perfect for the next 4 - 5 years at least (we also have a 6 month old daughter), so at the cost, it's a great value. I hope that helps in your purchasing decision.

It is full size and can work for adults also. There is not a ton of space, I think that is why they refer to it as a student desk. It worked great for us in a smaller space.

I'd consider a full tower. Just my opinion. I tried medium, but always felt it is not enough space.

I would go bigger, as a beginner the bigger the board the easier to get started. This board is light enough even at a larger size. I HAVE ridden this one though and I'm 5'8 150. So it will work. Bigger boards are more stable and make catching the waves WAY easier. Having said that for it's size this board has plenty of float and is stiff enough to support your size easily.

This desk is more appropriate for a child, a teen or a small person. A full size adult will find it somewhat tight. I did not put in the little "storage." The desk is in a guest room and most of my guests are adults, so I left that out to accommodate adult legs better.

Might be a bit big, depending on the child's height. Could also be much too heavy if filled to capacity, again, depending on the kid. I'm a 5'3" adult and when I was 9-10 years old this would have been huge for me.

This is a great board for the price. However, I would recommend that she start on a larger board. It's much easier for first-timers to learn on larger boards. My 7 and 10 year old had fun trying to get on it, but I quickly realized it was too small for a beginner,

My kid is 8... but he is rather tall. The trainer chose 25 -inch racket so that he could use later. I think the same size would be just fine.

It would all depend on how tall and heavy your child is and how likely they are to make serious attempts to climb out. Our son is a tall 2.5 and we still use it when we travel. While he is starting to fill it out with how tall he is, because it is so deep, he doesn't even think about trying to get his leg over the side or anything. Also, he is quite happy and relaxed sleeping in it so he doesn't really care to get out. I really debated buying this because of the price and the fact that we already had the typical pack n play, but I must say it has made extensive travel for us much more pleasant.

This is couple of inches smaller than the big one. It is not really small .. It is perfect for 10 year olds. I think it's 30" vs 33" for adult size .

I would say go with as big as you can afford to go. They can always grow into the bigger goal. And practicing on a bigger goal will make the smaller one easier to cover ground on.

Yes, it is a good size. But I would recommend one that is taller. It would give them more space.
