I bought this for my teenage son and his friends who are always playing "street football" in the neighorhood yards etc. For the price, it is very durable ( they use theeir own real football though instead of the mini one it comes with) and it has several flag markers for added effects. The goal post can be set at two heights and they have put it up and taken it down many times now and its held up to the "big kid" abuse just fine. lol Great fun for all ages.

My 7 year old LOVED this gift. He is the biggest football fan ever and loves the challenge of kicking the football through the uprights. It's the biggest goal post around I could find so that part is great. I just wish it was better made. The plastic started to crack right were it clips together on the post (a month after we got it). If they had made it of a more solid plastic (the plastic is pretty thin) it would have lasted a lot longer. We taped it up and so far it's holding together, but for how long who knows.

I bought this item as a self-birthday present, and it arrived on the day of my birthday! Well, when I put it together in the house, it was some trouble connecting the joints, but otherwise it was HUGE! It comes with a lever in which you can raise and put the posts higher or lower.

A few days later when I play with it-the ball contained was very small. Therefore I went out and bought a new ball WITH a kicking tee (it wasn't in the box when it said it was) and when I kicked it, it hit it and it cracked! EDIT: I just played with is yesterday... and it completely broke.

We bought one of these and it was so fun that we bought another. Now we take both to tailgating, set both goals up in a grassy area for the kids and let them play. They have a great time with them. They are easy to assemble and so far (1 month of sitting outside 24/7) have held up just fine.

my 5 year older loves this as well as his 7 year old brother. it is not huge but perfect for the back yard and a small pick up game of football. the plug on the base i could never get open bc it was so tight but i put a few bricks on the base and it hold the pvc pipe field goal up great and easier to move than if i filled it with water anyways. would recommend this for sure!

Bought this for my 10-year old for Christmas. The kicking tee that comes with it is plastic and doesn't last long, but we also got him a rubber kicking tee and that works fine. The football it comes with is small, so he uses a regular size football instead. We set it up in the backyard & he loves it.

This is small and cheap, but my 7-year-old LOVES it!

The goal post is thin plastic (you could build a much stronger one yourself using PVC pipe). At it's tallest setting, it's 4-feet wide by 6-feet high (to the top of the uprights), with a 49 inch high crossbar. It has a 12.5-inch diameter circular stand that you fill with water, which is sufficient to keep the goal-post self-standing, but it will fall if hit hard by a football.

The mini-football is very mini. Ours measured 6.5 inches long but it wouldn't fully inflate, probably because of a leak, but my 7-year-old likes it being soft.

The included football tee is worthless. It's too wide to hold the included ball, and too lightweight to hold a larger ball without toppling over.

The yard-line markers are 3-inches wide and 4-inches high (before sticking into the ground), and there's only 3 of them (50 yd, 40 yd, 30 yd) as is correctly stated on the box, but is incorrectly stated in Amazon's Product Description.

In summary, I was disappointed with the quality and size, but my 7-year-old LOVES it!

I purchased this item, but then realized my 11 & 9 year olds were a bit too old for it. Passed it along to my 4-year old nephew who loves it!

My son loves this goal post set. It is easy for us to set it up in the yard or park, and so far seems to be holding up well to little kid abuse. He has had it just shy of three months so far but it appears to be made well considering the price point. We like the adjustable height and and he feels like a big kid when he goes out to play football know. We are going to get a second set so he can have a "real" game with his friends.

I wish I could have seen this product before ordering it. It isn't very durable AT ALL and it keeps falling out of the base. I would NOT purchase this item again :(
