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.

Good product for occasional croquet playing. Product seems sturdy enough although paint will likely come off over time.

If looking for a set for moderate to heavy use, a more expensive, higher quality product may be desired.

        Comments about Franklin Classic Croquet Set:

        We are average players. The end sticks both broke the first time we used them. One of the mallets broke off at the base the first game and another one is cracked. We are not happy. [...]

        Comments about Franklin Classic Croquet Set:

        I've been playing croquet with the family, all my life, from two generations before me to two generations after. This set feels a little light weight and fragile to me. I'm afraid if I try to hit the ball very far through the grass, I might break the mallet. We shall see!

        • Carry bag

        Cons

        • Soft wood mallets

        Best Uses

          Comments about Franklin Classic Croquet Set:

          The staining of the wood was ok, but the paint was pretty thin and scratched easily. The mallets are not hardwood and the threading on the handles is very poorly done. The head of the mallet is drilled almost too loose to hold the handle. The hammer and stake cap did not come in the package. [...]...the franklin set was let down.

            Set is fine, however one handle and head did not screw together. I will have to find a way to glue them. The carrying case is nice - just needs to be a few inches longer to use esily.
