| I bought the Halex Select 6 Player Croquet Set in Deluxe Carry Case for four of my grandson's and when it arrived, which was very quickly, the product was in good condition and it assemble perfectly. I do believe they are going to love it. I won't be able to see them until the 30th of Dec. , so I can't wait to see their faces: ages 9,6,6,and 4. You do have to put a little muscle behind screwing the mallets together,but that's ok, it only insures me that they won't come apart easily. I reccommend this product highly. |

I was able to get this set at a local retailer for only $25, needless to say it was a no brainier compared to the much more expensive sets. The proportions are perfect for children under 9 years old. This is not an adult set, but you can make it work even if you're really tall (just bend a bit more!). The set includes every thing you will need and the one sheet instructions shows a diagram of a proper court. The nylon bad holds everything, including the assembled sticks.
The problem with most of these assemble / dissemble Croquet sets is the handles always fall off in due time. So, I used very good quality wood glue (get the indoor / outdoor glue - not just indoor) and put it on both sides of the groves in the mallet head, then hand twist tight and let it dry.
You will be creating essentially 6 permanent sticks. The directions are fairly complex, but Halex Corporation is part of Regent Sports (think Spalding too). So, you can get decent customer support on most of the items they sell, plus they print all the rules of the major outdoor games on their site (Bocce, Croquet, Badminton, etc.) :

| I actually bought this game just for the hoops as I needed a set and this entire croquet set cost less than merely purchasing a set of wickets by themselves. This set will not endure a lot of abuse and probably wouldn't last more than a couple of years, but it is a bargain. I purchased a set that cost 13 times what I paid for this, and it is definitely not 13 times better. Yes, the balls are lightweight and the construction and wood quality are not superb, but for what you pay for this set you definitely get your money's worth. |
Quality good for the price

| For the price I wasn't expecting too much but the balls and mallets were solid and it came with a nice carrying case. It's certainly possible to play a proper came of croquet with this set. |
