   So Much Fun!
   This dartboard required patience to receive and assemble. The first one I received appeared to be a return. The box had one strap around it and the rest was patched together with a lot of tape. Inside, the components were piled into the box and were scratched and chipped. I ordered a replacement, but UPS didn’t even bother to deliver that one. Apparently, the box was sufficiently damaged that they returned it to sender. Luckily, the third time was the charm. The box had a couple of holes in it, but all in all it was okay, secured by 2 straps, and did not appear to be a return.We had one problem with the very top piece of the cabinet. The instructions said to screw 4 screws into the factory installed inserts, but two of the inserts were crooked. One was so bad that it split the wood as we were tightening the screw. However, we were able to glue and clamp the crack, and then maneuvered the screw and insert a bit to secure it. Since it’s the top piece and not weight bearing, it seems to be fine and doesn’t impact the integrity of the cabinet.As for the rest of the cabinet, I expected it to be a bit light and wobbly based on many of the reviews. This is not the case at all. It is very stable. The shelves screw into the sides and back (rather than being adjustable and just laying on pins), which adds to the cabinet’s stability. We have it sitting on low-pile carpeting, and it’s sturdy and secure WITHOUT securing it to the wall. Since the bottom sticks out a bit from the wall due to the baseboard, we attached 2 Everbilt door stops (see pic) to the top of the cabinet. These rest against the wall, serving as bumpers to keep the cabinet resting solidly against the wall, and also serving as spacers to hold the top part of the cabinet away from the wall the same distance as the bottom of the cabinet.One other tip. There will inevitably be some scuffs and scratches on the boards because the pieces are not individually wrapped. However, these are very easy to touch up with a Minwax stain marker in ebony. It takes only a few minutes to touch up the scuffs and looks great. (A Sharpie works but isn’t as good of a color match. The ebony Minwax matches really well.)If you are considering this dartboard, don’t be dissuaded by the negative reviews. Just understand that it will require patience to assemble. Once that’s done, it’s well worth the effort.

   What’s the Problem!?!?
   Seen a lot of bad reviews. Maybe they updated since the review date but everything went smooth for me.Package was fine, no issuesAll parts accounted forNo issues with hole alignmentSturdy and extra if bolted to wall with included bracketBoard itself is legit (official size for triple ring)If you have built IKEA furniture you can do this! A lot of people saying 2-4 hours with 2 people. Got the bad boy up Solo in 45 minutes.One thing for my alteration. I left off the “R” front cover board around the dart board itself so I would have access to adjust board if needed and power cord. If you install the “R” cover your pretty much screwed and would have to disassemble a majority to adjust board if it was to come lose or get to the power cord plug in. I just spray painted the securing back panel board black for cosmetics. Also added a light like most. You’ll want one (light) and they are pretty cheap.Would recommend unless you have 1500-2k to spend, if so by all means. This is a great “cheap” alternative.

   Intermediate assembly.
   Not the easiest to assemble. I’ve seen some videos of their unit which they assembled and they were not sturdy. Take those videos with a grain of salt. Not everyone is smart enough to assemble this. You need to be handy. Mine is very stable. It comes with a bracket for attaching it to the wall to prevent it from falling over. I strongly recommend that, however I didn’t attach it to mine.The board itself is fun and works great. You should change your dart tips often so the darts stick well.It looks great and is a perfect addition to my man cave.

   Not worth the price
   Once we started putting it together, it was not very sturdy. The door doesn’t close and the holes are misaligned. Not worth the price.

   A blast for the whole family for under $300
   At first I cancelled the order because it took way longer than expected. Then all of a sudden I got an email saying it would be delivered so I kept the order. The box wasn’t in the best condition but only a small chip on the inside. It isn’t worth docking a star. The product is a great deal for $299, it’s heavy, the game is a ton of fun with sound and a lot of games. We have played non stop since we got it. At first cabinet didn’t shut well but then I realized I used the wrong screws had to use flat ones and it works great. Easy instructions all parts numbered, anyone can put it together. Don’t let negative reviews keep you from pulling the trigger. With this big of product there’s always a chance something could be damaged, I am sure you could exchange it or return it. It’s going to get a lot of use in my house including for Thirsty Thursday’s. Came with good sturdy darts, several tips is pretty much ready to go once assembled. It’s of course not real wood, but I wouldn’t expect that for everything that came with it, still good quality durable and lots of storage. Took about 2 hrs just took my time to read instructions carefully to ensure set up right the first time. Don’t hesitate!!
