Lots of Fun
Good product, reasonable price.

Wobbly
Even though the pole is assembled with screws, it remains very wobbly. If you tighten them too much, it just bends the pipes.

Nope.
These are 5 or 6 poles that get bolted together to make one tall poll. The bolts come out, it's not sturdy and it's already rusting out with only being outside a week. Don't recommend. It's cheap, but don't waste the money.

Junk
This product is simply junk. 5 18 inch sections that supposedly bolt together. But what you have a a leaning tower of worthless.Threw the box away so can even return. Don’t make the same mistake

Good Family fun
Assembly was super easy. It allows you to build it at 3 different highs, so you can choose to build it for kids or for adults. I assembled the 10ft, but if I want it shorter, I just have to remove a section.This kit comes with everything you need to play. You don't need anything extra. It comes well packaged and the tubes are protected so they don't roll and scratch during shipment. It brings the nuts and screws and 2 L-screwdrivers (one for holding the nut and the other to tighten the screw). Having screws instead of the 'snap-click' gives sturdiness to the pole. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. It brings instructions but they are really not necessary for assembly. It also brings the rules of the game.The ball comes deflated, of course, but they included a pump with the needle (mind the needle is stored on the handle (pull) of the pump). I thought it was going to be hard to pump the ball, I had had bad experiences with other manual pumps, but it was not. The ball was inflated in a couple of minutes without too much effort.From beginning to finish, it did not take me more than 15 minutes to set everything up and start playing.The gameplay is very simple: bat the ball with an open hand to tighten the cord around the pole. Your opponent does the same in the opposite direction undoing what you do. The first to wrap the ball all the way around wins. Fun clean exercise for all ages.The pole seemed unstable and bent a little back and forth while we batted the ball, but it is secured to the ground with the 5 legged stake so it would not fall. Having the pole shorter, and/or making sure the screws are well tighten, helps.We had fun playing, this is great for family gatherings, picnics, or just having in your backyard for the kids to play. I can recommend this.

Screws fall out. Leans.
This is just not well designed. We had fun with it the first time we used it but it has become less fun as it falls apart and leans. The screws that hold it together become lose as you play. You will need loctite or some type of glue to keep them connected but this becomes problematic because then you won't be able to take it down. The combination of the thin pole and the screws coming out also causes the pole to lean and wobble which makes the game unfair. Unfortunately as winter approaches this may end up on the curb or in the garbage as I don't see us returning to use it next year.

Maybe for a toddler, but definitely not for adults.
It works decently for what I originally purchased for, which was my two-year-old daughter. But I would say a young child is about the cut off for this product. If I put even 25% strength behind hitting the ball, the entire thing wobbles in between each connection. And if you tighten the screws, even just a little bit, the polls bend and no longer come apart. Also, the spikes on the bottom base are very fragile. One sides spike didn’t want to go into the ground, and I tried tapping it in with my mallet and it bent. I wasn’t really expecting much since I was just buying it for my toddler because she likes smacking the tetherball around, so I guess I got what I paid for.
