6-Player Croquet Set - Outdoor Games with Wood Mallets, Balls, Posts, Wickets, and Carry Case - Vintage Yard Games for Adults and Kids by Hey Play

Too flimsy.

I ordered this for my granddaughters 7th birthday. I almost just wrapped the box but decided to check the contents first. Inside the box is the zippered case with another box inside. Inside that box were the mallet heads, mallet sticks, balls, posts, and hoops. All looked good except for the mallet heads. It was obvious there was something greenish black on them. Since her birthday is in a few days I opted to open up the vacuum sealed plastic that the mallet heads were in. The red and purple ones were mostly unaffected. The other four had varying degrees off what appeared to be mold on them. Again I opted to try to see if I could just wipe it off . Negative, so I washed them gently but only the loose and surface mold came off. What’s left is inside the wood. The case is just a cheap zippered case without pockets are segmented areas for the set. I miss the nice set up we had as kids. I would not buy this set again. I do not want to box it back up since I cut the box up, so I’m going to ask for a refund, or partial refund. We’ll see how it goes and if this rating comes up. If it’s still one star I’d steer clear. clear.

Great quality and wonderfully priced

I bought Birch Lane because their products have been so consistently good. The mallets arrived with black mold and mildew all over them. Quality control needs to be aware of this. Love Wayfarer. I’m not keeping these around long enough to return them.

Great family fun and good quality
