We live in a condo facility with a small common grass area. When visitors with children come we want to have a diversion for them that easily fits the limited space, yet provides an outlet for play. This set is it! The idea was prompted by a catalog offer at almost 10 times the cost. The idea was appealing: the cost was not. This isn't Windsor Castle.
Rating: - It's an OK set , for the price.
This set was purchased to be used by our Grandchildren, (and ourselves) for backyard fun. It is not a hard-core expensive croquet set, so I don't plan on it lasting for more than a year or two. All the parts and pieces are as described. However they are pretty lightweight. At any rate I am pleased with the purchase and my grandchildren are happy with it too.

A friend of mine bought this set for our Memorial Day picnic. We played two games with it and two of the mallets are now broken. Both broke when someone tried to knock somebody else's ball far away, but this is a normal tactic in croquet so it wasn't really excesive usage. In fact, one of the people who ended up breaking a mallet was a 9 year old kid, so it didn't take that much strength. The handles are made from a very light wood, and they were brave enough to cut ridges into the handles that weaken the material even more.
This is a fine set if you don't want to spend that much and a bunch of beginers are going to use it and not be that aggressive, but if you're serious about a croquet set, spend a little more to get something that can hold up to the sport.
