Great set
Growing up I used to play badminton so I decided to buy this set and try it out. The set comes with poles, a net, rackets and shuttlecocks. Practically everything you need to play badminton is in this set. The assembly took very little time and instructions are easy to follow. The padded grips on the rackets allows comfort while playing. The strings are sturdy and good quality. I have played with the set couple times and quality of shuttlecock is good. Its easy to carry in a small portable bag. Its a perfect set for intermediate level. I have carried this with me to parks and played with the set. I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review

The shuttlecocks are terrible!
The net and rackets are nice, but the birdie's (shuttlecocks) are terrible. After just a week of minimal playing, both are breaking on the sides and one of them is completely broken; the top snapped off. It didn't pop off, the plastic actually broke.

    Middle of the road
    I decided, being safe at home, we'd get a lot of use from a set so I bought what I thought was higher grade, better quality and paid more. The set is fine, but it's just a standard backyard badminton set. The bonus is it came with 4 rackets so when one breaks, we'll have back ups. The carry case was a nice throw in so it stays safe in the shed.

    Good barrgin for a beginner set
    I have always loved planning badminton but haven't played for years so I thought this set would be perfect to get me back playing a really fun sport. I don't have a yard so I wanted a beginner badminton set that would transport easily. It is easy to put up and take back down, fun for kids and grown-ups to learn how to play a new sport. It is not meant for super competitive play but works wonderfully if you want to have a good time. I would highly recommend additional birdies, they don't play the same after a few games so it's always good to have extra on hand.

    Great Beginners Badminton Set
    I think this a decent badminton set for the value that you are paying! This will be ideal for those that may be newer to badminton and want a beginner set to have a friendly match with your family or friends, since it comes with all you may need. However, if you are a bit more of a seasoned player, then you may want to pass on this set and invest on a nicer set. What I like: - The value is great for all that it comes with. It includes: 4 rackets, 2 birdies, a net, and all you need to put the net staked on the ground. So needless to say, it comes with everything you need. - Comes with a bag to store all the suppliers on the go! When you first open the bag, you will find a brown box with all the badminton supplies nicely stored inside. It's up to you whether you want to keep the box so the bag holds its shape or you can toss it, so there is a less to carry. Things to consider: - The rackets may not be the best quality, but it's what you would expect from a value pack like this (so not much to complain here). Just want to mention that because if you are trying to become a serious badminton player, then I would recommend investing on a more expensive racket. (For instance, if you swing the racket hard enough on an oncoming birdie, then the birdie may potentially get stuff on the strings of the racket.). Hopefully, this shouldn't be much of a problem for beginner players. In general, I would only recommend getting this badminton set if you are new to badminton and want to test it out or are trying to teach your kids how to play badminton. Mostly just for fun. Probably can't use it for more competitive games. I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.

    All that you need
    This is the complete set that will allow you to set up and play. Having all components in one amazing carrying case has made it really convenient to take it to parks, other friends and storage. The kit includes the net, stacks, racket and birdies. Again, PERFECT to go to the park with a few friends to play (enjoy a little friendly competition). This kit is very easy to set up and take down. Also, since the net is set up we like to grab a volleyball and play. “I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.”

    Great value!
    I couldn't believe for the price, the set comes with four badminton rackets. The birdie is plastic birdie which is very durable. The net was very easy to set up and clean up. Just be careful not to rip to net with the poles when setting up. I almost did that. Since I brought this home, my kids asked to play badminton every weekend. Great family time while being active.

    works great
    The biggest concerns for me around these types of buys is the quality of the product, time to setup, and time to breakdown. I am only looking for a badminton set that is functional and something I can use on a nice weekend in the park. The set took something like 5 minutes to setup, didn't fall (which is huge), and wasn't a mess to pack back up. If you are someone who is incredibly into badminton and are going to play all the time I would invest in something a little more high-end but for someone who will use on occasion this is great.

    Nice badmnton set!
    Nice badminton set for the low price. I like the fact the set comes with everything you need for a Badminton game in the back yard. Set up was easy too with clear instruction. The quality for net is good, the racket is considered good for the price (because I have use higher end rackets), but birdies were seems a bit on the low quality end but I only used it once for over an hour so the they are still holding up pretty good. Overall, this is very nice set to have for an outdoor game at a very reasonable price. I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review

    Casual badminton play
    This badminton set is not bad for the price. It's not for rough play, but it held up for hours of play for adults. I can see this breaking if kids and teenagers start rough-housing around it. The net and rackets are good but the shuttlecocks are very cheaply made. Expect to replace them. It's light and comes in a nice carrying case so it's good for travelling to the park or friends' houses. It's pretty easy to setup so you'll be up and playing in no time.
