Our family plays extreme croquet all over our property. This set is just fine for the price and good for family get togethers.

I wish the storage bag was larger so the assembled mallets would fit it. I keep the mallets in the UPS box the set was delivered in because I do not want to keep disassembling them.

        Comments about Franklin Classic Croquet Set:

        The bag arrived with a tear in the seam of one corner. It is impossible to fit the assembled croquet set in the bag for 'easy carrying'. The quality of the wood handles and mallet heads was inferior - at best. Rough splintered sections which had not been sanded and thin paint on the handles & mallets.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Delivery by FedEx was right on time and the box was in good condition - unlike its contents.

            Comments about Franklin Classic Croquet Set:

            Took this set out for the first time on Mothers Day. Disappointed from the start. One of the handles would not screw into the mallet head. The plastic caps on many of the mallets cracked while playing the first game. The plastic balls dent very easily. My 15 yr old wood balls held up much better.
