Zume Games Portable Badminton Set with Freestanding Base - Sets Up on Any Surface in Seconds - No Tools or Stakes Required

So easy to set up! Fun to play! Great value for the money spent. Perfect for our camper.

This product sets up and takes down in the matter of a few minutes. I do have trouble when packing it up to get the silver buttons to push in, but that is true for most items that have them. This is my second set..... we use the first one I bought so often at camp, I decided to leave it there and purchased a second one to leave in my car. Simple and so lightweight to take out for a quick game at a picnic. The net is not super wide, but we have so much fun with it and it is the perfect size to use anywhere. Bach, backyard, park... we even set this up on a small dirt road and move it on the rare occasion that a car passed by. The racket handles unraveled a bit after a while, but a little tape and we were all set. I bought lite-up birdies to leave in the bag.... adding to the fun at night. Couldn’t ask for it be much better than it is!

Our family has enjoyed this badminton set, but there are definitely issues with it. The first set we received was defective and had both base tubes installed at an angle, so the net leaned. However, Amazon was awesome to quickly replace it. The second set was not crooked, so we are overall happy with the set. Some things to keep in mind... 1) Based on other reviews and our own experience, don't be surprised if you get a defective set and then have to get a replacement. 2) It's a portable badminton set, so expect it to be lightweight and often things that are lightweight/portable don't hold up as long or as well, so if you're looking for something to setup and leave out in your backyard, this isn't likely what you should buy. 3) The clips inside the telescoping poles do take a bit of wiggling and patience to get the poles to collapse, and worse is removing the poles from the base tubes... so, if you don't have patience, nor a gentle (but firm) touch, or plan to let the kiddos take the poles down, then odds are that the poles won't last long for you, so you might not want to buy this set. To answer a question above, the set is very lightweight and ideal for what is was intended (badminton), so it depends on what level of volleyball you are wanting to play... it should be fine, if players are not making contact with the net, you are using a "toy" weight volleyball, AND you are lightly volleying... However, if you are playing "real" volleyball with spiking and blocking at the net, overhand serves and returns, or even a regulation weight volleyball, then I would not suggest using this net; it is not made for impact. Regarding wind, we haven't used it in the wind and badminton is something one would NOT ideally play in the wind either... so likely best to use indoors or on no/low wind days outside. So, if you keep in mind that this is a portable (read lightweight and somewhat fragile and quirky) set, and if you get one that is not defective, you are off to a great start. Then, if you are gentle with the poles and net and use it in and under the right conditions, such as no wind and without anything (other than a birdie) contacting the net, it is a fun set to have! However, even with doing all the "right" things in handling the poles and net, I really would not be surprised if the clips or poles break after a relatively low number of setups and take-downs, so indeed, buyer beware!

We bought this set to take with us to family events, camping, get togethers, day trips etc. It’s is very easy to set up and take down and has been surprisingly durable for us. While easy to knock over, it hasn’t broken after nearly 6 years of sporadic use. This has entertained our kids and family at quite a few events and still gets used every summer.

Very poor quality.

I would love to give this 5 stars but after the second time we set this up, two poles will NOT come apart without using tolls to push button in and major force. So the third time we played and packed up everything but the two poles...when out we don't have a ability to get them apart to pack in the convenient bag :( It is a great set. It seems intended more for kids, as it is quite small, but that is also for transporting in the bag. The kids have a blast with it and the adults do play with them. Again I love the fact it can be set up and taken down easily...perfect to take to family functions and the beach. I do wish a waited a bit as price dropped $10 to $40 & I really wish my poles came apart!

Grew up playing this all the time. It’s easy to set up easy to take down and small storage area needed.

Wonderful for camping trips or pop up backyard games. Nice not having to stake anything into the ground- theres nothing for people to trip on! We put a couple pieces of firewood or rocks in the base-bag when we are using it to prevent it from tipping. Make sure to read the directions for opening it up the initial time you do- the arms should be put into the receiver in the side of the bag fully collapsed. Once in, then telescope them outward- they will not install in the side of the bag if you telescope outward then try to push the lower piece into the bag receiver. Collapsing it back down to put away its the same. The arms are plastic- they will not take a beating from your kids & it is not durable enough to use as volleyball net. After we had that talk with our children we didn't need to worry about them destroying it. Bonus- The bag has space in it for 4 little soccer cones to mark the boundaries of the game

Fun and light and it’s good that it’s a complete set to pop up and play

Great product!The compact package is easy to store. The net is sturdy, sits at the right height and can be deployed quickly. Makes for a slightly smaller playing area than a regular net, but perfect for an impromptu game. I'm done with metal poles that you have to plant into the ground and a net that never stays straight. The Zume Games Badminton Set is the way to go.

We loved this, such an awesome idea and design but unfortunately the material the main supports are made of went brittle and snapped in only 2 months (maybe used 6 times). Very disappointed 9 year old.

Una muy buena opción para cualquier reunión familiar, el empaque ocupa poco espacio y es muy ligero, ademas se arma muy fácil y el juego es muy entretenido, lo único esque solo trae 2 gallitos pero se pueden comprar más por aparte.

Easy to assemble, and works great. We are very happy with this purchase.
