I'VE SEARCHED FOR A WELL-ROUNDED CROQUET SET TO USE WITH CHILDREN AND FOUND THIS SET TO FIT THE BILL. IT COMES IN A NICE CARRYING CASE, HOWEVER, ONCE THE EQUIPMENT COMES OUT, IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO PUT BACK IN. I KEPT THE CARDBOARD LINER IN PLACE AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A HARD LINED CASE IN PLACE OF THE "SOFT" FABRIC. I AM THOUGH, HAPPY WITH THIS SET.

Nothing Deluxe

Good for light use. Not worth the cost. Spend more and get a better set.

    Comments about Franklin Advanced Croquet Set:

    The game arrived promptly and looks beautiful . The reason I gave it only four stars is, we haven't played with it yet, It had not weathered anything. And there's nothing much to assemble that could go wrong.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Good Family Set

        By Single person buying croquet set

        from Salt Lake City

        Verified Buyer

        Pros

        • Easy Assembly
        • Good for children

        Cons

        • Mallets are small
        • Unattractive Design

        Best Uses

        • Family
        • Small Children

        Comments about Franklin Advanced Croquet Set:

        I really wanted a set to play croquet in the park. Having never bought a croquet set before, I didn't think to look at mallet size. The mallets in this set are small which makes it better for children, but not as comfortable for adults. If I had realized the mallet size varied in different sets, I would have bought an enthusiast set instead of a family set.

          Comments about Franklin Advanced Croquet Set:

          I recently read a book describing how this was played at gentlemens clubs in Memphis. Considered a high end sport played with hand made $1000 mallets. It reminded me of the fun I had playing as akid we made up our own games. Spent all summer playing. Now retired thought I could have friends over and enjoy this GENTEEL game.
