Tetherball is awesome! This is a game anyone can play for hours on end. That being said, this set is pretty decent. My only complaint is that the pole and stand still wobble even with all the sand in it. It's not bad enough to make a huge difference though. The set up is pretty easy and the directions are very clear. It only took me about 30 mins to get it together and moved into place. We were playing immediately. I prefer this set to the concrete in a tire as I didn't have to find the materials and then wait for the concrete to dry. It is well worth $90.

I bought this for my teen-age son. I have had such a great time watching him and his friends play (very aggressively I might add). These guys are all about 6 feet tall, but the game held up extremely well and provided hours of fun. We've also had substantially smaller kids play and they had a great time as well. I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has become obsessed with tetherball because they get to play it at school. We got this pole from Lifetime so she could play at home, and we are not disappointed! It's fun for the whole family!

I bought this for my daycare center and it gets a ton of use and has held up great. 1 of the kids took the cap off and we lost it. We fill with water because it makes it studier than sand and can empty it that way. I contacted Lifetime and they sent me a new cap at no charge. So thankful and will only purchase from lifetime from here on out!

We got these and gave them to each set of cousins last year. They have held up well in the winds of Nebraska and the cold as well as heat. I did add a swivel clip to the top to make it easier to take the ball off if I wanted to. The kids have an absolute blast playing it.

Pros:"Soft tetherball","Kids and adults all have" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Fun for all ages, we've had it set up out front where the neighborhood kids can join in, and moved it to the backyard so we can have a game before and after dinner. Its great.

We've had this for several years and it still provides a lot of fun for our family and the neighborhood. The set is solidly built, my only "complaint" would be the metal base (inside the plastic) leaves rust stains on the concrete. I did have one ball that would not hold air, after about 5 minutes in the store I walked away with a replacement at no charge. They definitely stand by their product name!

i bought this as a Christmas present for our 7 yr old grandson. Within 3 months the pole became Unstable and listed. loosely at a 45degree angle. I kept tightening the base bolts at the base until the were extended past the base bottom. This made the base even more unstable. I had to shorten the bolts by cutting them. The only children using this were 7/8 yr olds and grandpa. The base had 220 lbs. of dry sand. I'd place a picture but it times out.

We used the base and 2 pipe joints to build a free standing blue bird box. The box is mounted 2’’ down from the top and a 15’’ squirrel baffle is under the box. It is placed in the open where the little varmlt’s can’t get to it from above or below. The blue birds moved in the day after we put it up already have 4 little eggs.

We bought this for our grand-daughter for Christmas 2014. It is great no complaints. The ball is fine, the pole is sufficient. Proper length of the rope. She's out in the back everyday. She plays with friends and family members every chance she gets. The bottom base is very sturdy but we are still able to move it around.
