Surprisingly well made! Indoor fun for the kids.
I bought this for my kid because he loved tetherball at summer camp so much that he asked if we could have one at home. Knowing it would only be used a few times (if that) I opted for this desktop version primarily as a joke this Christmas. I wasn’t expecting anything special for the price but was pleasantly surprised!The pole is real metal and screws together tightly and securely. The ball is soft foam so doesn’t hurt when swinging around but has a nylon coating to protect it from breaking apart. The string is a nice thick grade string tied very well. The base has a felt button to protect surfaces too. We’ve been playing for a few days now (pretty agressively) and everything is still holding together as new.My only critique is the base doesn’t come with any way to secure it down, so sometimes it would topple over. We simply “fixed” this by having a player hold it down with their other, non-playing hand. Problem solved.The little booklet is a cute, humorous read as well. Was a perfect stocking stuffer this Christmas.

 Ok maybe not completely like school but it’s super fun none the less. This miniature tetherball set looks good by itself but is playable as well. Not made for extreme agro-playing but simple kind taps while one player holds the base. I’d recommend to the tether ball fan.

La idea es buena, pero la ejecución deja un poco que desear, después de poco menos de un mes se uso la rosca de la base dio de si, y el poste quedo inclinado y ya ni de decoración sirve. Una lastima.
