After several years of playing with various cheap net sets around the $30 price point, and being frusterated because I had to buy a new one every year, I decided to make an investment this year and purchase a "professional net" to make our games all the more official, and get something that would last a while. I couldn't be happier with this net- it is truly built to last, and all weekend long the comments kept coming in about how it was "the best volleyball game we ever played". Any net that can withstand 3-4 adults being thrown into it and doesn't fall over or break is truly a serious net. I was a little worried that they only wanted $89.99 for this net (watch the price on it, it's gone anwhere from $69.99 to $169.99 on amazon....price seems to change daily)- could it really be that good for $89.99. YES! I ordered this net a week before memorial day, and the box was so damaged that UPS could not deliver it. I called Amazon, worried that I would not have it in time for my trip, and they sent a new one right away. Set up was fairly easy, and I was simply amazed at how it held up with some rough adults. I noticed that after a few rains throughout the weekend, the clips that hold the net onto the poles to help keep it in place were rusting (this is ok, a little spraypaint will fix it- but just beware of this). The poles are really high quality, and the net is very professional. Worth the price by all means- and an instant success at our house. Take down was also really easy, and everything fit really nicely into the bag. You will not be dissapointed in this purchase!
