This diner table is also a ping pong table. You can eat here and play  ping pong at the same time. It looks really classy and fancy so, it doesnt seem so ridiculous. In the center of the table is a rectangular shaped vase filled with flowers that serves as a decoration for the table and as a net for the table. This is pretty cool. Here are some pictures.
