Just got this badminton set for family outings, and here’s the tea ☕️:

✅ Pros: Super easy to set up—literally takes seconds! The freestanding base is genius (no stakes = no tripping hazards). Love that it includes rackets, shuttlecocks, and even fits soccer cones in the bag. Perfect for picnics or camping.

❌ Cons: The plastic poles feel cheap—ours snapped after a few uses. Collapsing them is a puzzle (tip: start from the BOTTOM or risk rage-quitting). Wind? Forget it. This net’s as stable as a house of cards.

⚠️ Warning: Quality control seems iffy—our first set arrived crooked. Amazon replaced it fast, but buyer beware!

Verdict: Great for casual play if you baby it. Not for competitive volleyball or reckless kids. 3/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐.
