I would give this a 10 star if I could, I bought 2 of these, I bought the first one for my grandson when he was living with me, he spent 2-3 hours or more a day outside playing with his tetherball, it was a grading present.  He plays Tetherball at school every day, then he moved and I told him to take it with him he loved it so much, but I bought a second one and had it put together for his first visit back so he could play with it, HE LOVED IT..  It is well made and easy to put together and gives lots of hours of exercise and enjoyment.
