It is smaller than I anticipated but I should have read the description better so that is on me for not paying attention. That being said I do not think the size takes away from the bowling set and the wood used for this set is a good quality  So far they have only been used in the house (due to winter) however the pins stay upright on the carpet so I anticipate they will be good outside in the grass come spring. Appearance wise they are adorable and our children love the set. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.
