Thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to reply. You’ve given me a lot of great input to consider.
I agree that skills can be learned on a shorter table. I play on a 9 foot table at the local hall. What length are the tables in the rec centers? There may be a good reason I haven’t heard from anyone with a table in their house.
It looks like the path forward should be to rent before purchase, with visits to rec centers to see the tables, their size, quality and usage and listen, listen, listen- then see houses with a tape measure in hand.
Family obligations will keep me from realizing this plan for a while, but your replies feel like a warm welcome that I look forward to some day return.
