This volleyball set was all that it was said to be. It does take a minimum of 2 people to set it up, but it is pretty quick. We liked the adjustable height, so that adults and teens can play or it could be shorter for younger children to enjoy it. We have set it up and taken it down twice in the past 3 weeks. It is great for parties and can be set up just about anywhere (as long as the ground is soft enough to drive the tent pegs in). The ball is really nice (soft touch). And the carrying case is good to put all of the pieces back into when it is taken down. The only thing that will not fit in the case is the ball. I was pleased and felt that I got a good deal.

worked for what I was looking for. Good for the price. like the fact that you can change the height. got it so that I could play with my kids and they can with their friend. worked well for this. stayed up most of the summer.

For the price, I think this is a good deal.
When we got it, we went to the park to set it up, and it wasn't too hard.
It comes with a "traveling bag", ball, pump, net, and brightly colored string to define the boundaries of the court.
At first I thought the poles would snap in half from all the tension of the net, but that's when I realized I didn't set it up correctly.
(who reads manuals anyway!). After I figured out what I did wrong (duh!) everything worked fine.

But while we were dismantling it, that's when things went south. Someone decided to ROLL the net up. Bad idea.
You're supposed to fold it. If you roll it, it will turn into a tangled mess. I had to cut the net up just to undo the mess we got ourselves in.

Anyway, it's not a professional net, but it works just fine for us amateurs.

Received the set in less time than expected! The supplier sent it out immedieately! It's a great set for kids - I purchased for my 10 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Very easy to assemble and sturdy for kids play.

Its an OK net system if you want to keep in the trunk for a spontaneous game of V-ball at the beach or park. Just don't run into the net or a pole, or serve a strong one into the net...You'll be straightening poles and untangling the netting. Works great for a badmitton net though if you're into that.

This product is/was pretty good. I live in a rough family who is very competitive. We made this kit last 1 weekend until some of the posts broke. I used duct tape to fix and it works fine. I also purchased some stakes from Lowes and hammered those into the ground and put the posts over that to give more stability which is probably what caused the broken post from not giving under force. We had a really good time with this set and still use it today. it may not look like it did when I first purchased, but it is still fully functional. The pump that comes with it is also very effective. The needed used for the ball is stored in the pump handle, making it easy to take this pump along and use for other sports equipment besides v-ball. I used a different volleyball so I can't comment on the quality of the ball.

Poor instructions, poor materials at posts. Very vulnerable support system. The net itself is great but the legs broke the first day we used it. Better off securing net to a couple of 2x4s posts made from wood.
I wish I had spent a little more money and upgraded.

My 7 & 8 year old daughters are on a volleyball team (through a nonprofit org.) that needed a volleyball set up for practice before thier weekly games. The set was very easy to set up and works great. The league plays with official sized net and height so this set was greatly needed to show how high they need to hit.

This set was really a great buy. It is very sturdy and easy to set up and take down. After looking at several different sets, this is the one with the most value for the money.

it was not easy at firstto put up till i figured it out,now its ok,however the stakes wouldnt go into my ground,they broke,so i used railroad spikes..
its best for the beach...
