I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this set. The racquets are well-weighted and tightly strung. The net was no problem to set up and it has lots of adjustability. It has stayed up, just fine, too. There is an extra pole included with the set, so that is nice, just in case. Everything fits into a carrying case, should you want to take your fun on the road or store everything conveniently in a closet.There are some downsides, which didn't surprise me, given the price. The volleyball is goofy - it's basically a rubber ball, in a fabric cover. It seems like it would be awful to clean, but the ball is usable for its purpose and the handy, included pump had it ready to go in less than a minute. You may want to order additional shuttlecocks, as there are only two that come with this and they aren't great quality. They have hard plastic noses and one of the baskets was a bit bent.Overall, this was a good deal for the price. We use it a lot, for badminton, and it has held up fine.Great price, great set. The set is perfect to set up in your backyard or in a part. It takes 10 minutes to set up, and its pretty portable. Great for 4th of july parties. Mine has made it all year, only one stake broke. Only downside is that the company won't sell you replacement parts! My stake broke, and they wanted me to return the whole thing...:-(. I wanted extras and I was willing to pay. I'm certain that it will happen again, stakes break for all products, and to have a few extra would be helpful.Poorly constructed. My husband bent one of the poles while setting it up, the shuttlecocks came apart after the second game, the small pump included to inflate the volleyball is a joke, the needle broke before the ball was inflated and my husband had to make a trip to Walmart for shuttlecocks and a pump before my granddaughter could play. I have orderd from Amazon for several years and this is the only bad product I have ever received; not worth the money I paid for it and could not recommend this purchase to anyone even though the cost was less than $40.Debbie R Willis Lafayette, TNAs with all sets like this the poles where flimsy. I left the net up for a week and one of the dogs snatched a tie down and snapped a pole. A screw gun and creativity and we will be back up next spring. Everything else was well made and the kids really enjoyed it. Read the directions before assembly. The poles go together one way and if you get them backwards its hard to get the clip out. Overall great set for the money you payWe bought this for the summer and it held up well for a few weeks. Then with a slight push, one of the rods snapped. It is still usable but leans. Also from the kids trying to get the ball, the net has a few holes. For the price it isn't a bad set to use for a summer. Hopefully we can squeeze another season out of it but, if not, it served it's purpose.Very happy with the product for the price. Net poles are a bit flimsy but have held up well for both badminton and volleyball (with a 2 year old running around). Shuttlecocks are low quality and both became unusable within 10 minutes of play the 1st time we used them. Have since purchased better quality ones and have been enjoying hours of entertainment. Carrying bag is a nice extra.The volleyball and pump that come with it are JUNK so you will need to buy a different volleyball. The plastic poles are almost like thin plastic so you can to be careful when putting it together. Overall it is a decent set and served its purpose for the backyard party we had.The instructions do NOT match the actual set up it requires, and the plastic hooks that hold the net and strings/stakes are very fragile and breaks easily...but able to work around that by wrapping around the pole itself...it was great for our graduation open house and can be used again, however, needs to have better instructions along with more durable hooks to stake in place and withstand any wind.
