My husband and I bought this set a month ago as a an activity for our family "activity night." We shopped around a long time before deciding on this set, including in stores as well as online. It arrived quickly and we set it up the next day. Everything conveniently came in a travel bag. The net was easy to set up and is quite sturdy (we haven't taken it down since we've got it and it has survived a few windstorms just fine). It has strong nylon tension ropes that support the main poles that you hammer into the ground and are adjustable to make either tighter or loser once in the ground. We have also used the net to play volleyball as well. The 4 rackets themselves are very durable and are made very well - the birdie hasn't once got stuck in between the top part of the racket. It also comes with 3 standard birdies.

All in all, we are very happy with our purchase. We didn't need anything fancy, just a standard badminton set and that is what this is. We are going to enjoy this for many years to come!

When setting up the net, we were disappointed that the included poles were actually plastic and not metal. Once bringing the net to a decent tension, one of the poles split on the seam. Family was SO excited when we got this today, but unfortunately we don't get to play. What a disappointment!!

I bought this because it was free shipping with PRIME. We went to set it up for the first time and had the plastic poles split where they have the little push button connector. They aren't very sturdy. I will know the next time to buy steel poles.

This product is not well made. In other words, it does not live up to its marketing. First off, a zipper tab on the carry bag broke off on first use. The net, poles, and accompanying strings worked OK to set up. The rackets were not very strong and after one day of play [by young people], two of them began to bend. To top it off, in the next week, we saw a better-made badminton set for sale at Menard's for 2/3 the price. Ouch! Caveat emptor!

Great fun. Product is still in great condition after a summer of fun with many kids. Easy to set up and install. All materials are weather proof and have withstood the heat and rain. Great great item.

I bought this set for the kids to play in my backyard.
The price is good but the quality is average or lower.
The birdies are cheap plastic and would come right through/in the string of the rackets.
The rackets are very flimsy; the black plastic wraps are so thin it come right off after a few plays.

The kids did have a good time with it, though but I think after one summer it will go into the recycle bin.
Save your money and buy a better quality set, if you want something to last.

I was warned by others about the poles, but the racquets and the shuttlecocks are cheap too. They get stuck it the racquets and stop the game. It is still fun having the set, but really just buy a more expensive one. You won't regret it.
