I bought this as a Christmas present for two twenty-something nephews living together after leaving the Army. One is a University of Iowa football fan and I thought it would be good for tailgating activities. They couldnt wait and are playing it in the basement with buddies. Tournaments. Its lightweight compared to wooden ones but certainly heavy enough to stay in place. I can only carry one at a time as Im a small woman but the nephews can each carry both at the same time. Its sturdy but not meant to be stood on and children would have to be cautioned about that. The leg at the hole-end folds under to make a compartment to store the bags. The bags appear to be nylon and have a nice weight and feel. The board could easily be cleaned with a hose and the bags could be wiped off or probably even hosed off. Made in the USA, which is the only gift I can give to these nephews!
