11 Ravens game tables, many of which can be converted, are built with the intimate knowledge of those who participate in these games and sports, including Michael Zaretsky, a former professional table tennis player and owner of the highly regarded Gilbert Table Tennis Center in Los Angeles. The first 11 Ravens design came from his collaboration with designer Bernard Semerdjian. They are known for their customization—where choice of material finishes, colors, sizing, and more —create endless possibilities for innovative designs.
