Franklin SportsFranklin Sports Volleyball and Badminton Set

For the price this is a great buy! Super durable, light weight and great for just a pop ip game and super easy to take back down if needed. We take ours down when we expect bad weather, but our kids absolutely love this in the back yard especially when they have friends over.

Badminton set - good for the money.

This was a big hit with my 8 year old granddaughters. My only negative thing to add, is that it does not come with a carrying/storage bag. I don't like throwing it all in a box. So, im shopping for a bag with handles. I guess the other thing is the volleyball. It's not a real vb. My girls have actual volleyballs they use, so not a big deal for them. Overall, I think it's a good value. I am very happy with it.

OK, despite a bunch of other bad reviews of this product, I still took a chance on this product.... BIG mistake! If you are looking for this type of sporting equipment, choose something different. As others have said, directions are horrible. I was still able to get it assembled properly after looking at them over and over and making some guesses. As soon as I got the second pole up and applied what I would consider light tension, one of the 2 piece plastic clips broke. No extra hooks with the set, I had to get creative and swap out the top and bottom hooks to continue. Once the set was up, good tension on the poles, the net boggled my mind how it could have such a droop. There were no instructions indicating such, but I realized the net had a tensioning string on each side to bring the top of the net up. As soon as I pulled on the string on the first side, the string immediately ripped through the yellow plastic. Despite all of this, I was able to continue, get it tensioned properly and able to withstand some play, even withstood a good steady wind. Grand total set up time was over half an hour due to the poor instructions. I am tempted to return the item, but I now have it in a usable state and don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back. I am going to try to see if I can find a bunch of extra plastic clips somewhere online, as it is obvious they are going to break under tension. Did I forget to mention that the white string frays very easily when putting them in and out of the clips? Did I mention that if one of the small bungee cords pops out of the pole, they are extremely difficult to get back in? Did I mention if they do pop out they will go flying so far you might not find them? I also thought there was not a needle, but realized it is in the top of the pump handle. Needle is cheap plastic, as is the pump. Use extreme caution when inflating the ball (or use your own pump if you have one). Now for the positive, I like the concept of what it was supposed to represent, along with the carry bag (it does fit in the bag and zips back up). Oh, did I mention I only set it up and used it once before taking it back down? Enough said, I just really expected much better.

The write up on this set states that it comes with a carrying bag. It does not! Very inconvenient.I would have purchased a different set had I known. Now I have to find a case that fits the set, or juggle all of the pieces.J.

This net is really great. Easy to fix and sturdy.After several storms it's still standing.

Not expected to last long. Had to use core and anchors I had in shed to support poles. Volleyball not much more than a balloon. I guess it would be okay for one time use at a party. I did not pay much for set and you get what you pay for.

For the price, this set is well worth the purchase! Wasn't sure how much we would use it, so didn't want to spend a lot of money.I did not realize that it took more than one person to set up, and the instructions were confusing to me. But, once my grandsons got here, we figured it out in no time and it has endured very well since (in spite of being knocked down more than a few times during viciously competitive games).We have had such fun with this! My grandchildren (13yr m & 16yr f), my daughter and I play badminton almost everyday; and we play badminton or volleyball whenever we have a larger family gathering.This is a great bargain; I highly recommend it.Note: this comes with 2 birdies; you will want extras... a few always end up over the fence in our neighbor's yard and/or high up in the tree!
