Don't waste your money. I am very disappointed in this item. Bought it for my 7 year old grandaughter, for Christmas. Item is put together like crap. I arrived broken, she was so upset that I repaired it, but it should have been returned. If you think this is in anyway the sled you remember as a child forget it. some 1/4 20, nuts and bolts would have made the difference, but they went cheap on everything except the price..................shame on Amazon for selling this.

I remember the days when the Flexible Flyer was a thing of quality. Made in the USA out of solid oak and steel. A sled on which any kid could do a belly flopper and never worry about the sled withstanding all the abuse. Now the sled, still called the Flexible Flyer is made in China. No longer made with oak, but another kind of wood. (Not sure what kind.) It is a very unstable sled and I will rework it to make it more stable before I give it to my grandson.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, February 2, 2011

Purchased two flexible flyers for my kids. After very little use 4 (aluminum)rivets snapped. If I paid $25 for these I could understand them using cheaper materials but these were expensive sleds. I have tried to contact the manufacturer but have not been able to find any contact info. Save your $$ and buy anything else. These sleds will not last!!
