I bought this for the main reason of making some Yard bowling games for when we have BBQs. I took some old wood flooring and made a lane and placed these at the bottom and they worked great. Wish they had a little more weight to them might add some washers to the base to make it easier to stand up but all in all its pretty decently made.
it is thin plastic on the pins, the ball is a hardened plastic and fun to toss. The overall size of the ball is about the size of a softball. the pins little larger than 2 soft balls stacked. Fow what it is im not dissapointed. will it work for my needs yes if i was givign this to the children to play in the hall i guess a 3 year old would be happy more than that the novilty would ware off. for me Im pleased with it as its just fun drinking games.
