Paint finish is poor
Date - October 20, 2009
"I was attracted to this set because of the colorful design, but the craftsmanship definitely is not up to the standards I've come to expect from Land of Nod. The paint began chipping with the first gentle tap of the mallet, and while I didn't expect this set to be perfect forever, I don't think it unreasonable to expect it to last at least one season. Sorry, but I would not recommend this product."

Fun outdoors or in...
Date - October 20, 2009
"We purchased this croquet set for our two boys ages 5 and 3 and they have really enjoyed it. It is really cute and easy to assemble. It can be played outdoors with spikes to go into the grass or be flat on the carpet inside. We set it up at a neighborhood summer BBQ and all the kids seemed to enjoy it. One drawback, it only comes with two mallets and balls so limited to two players at a time."

Great Backyard Toy!
Date - November 29, 2008
"This toy has been super entertaining for our family. My 3 and 5 year old boys create different courses each time they play. Hitting the ball with the mallets has helped to develop their motor skills. My husband and I not only enjoy watching them but also playing along. This has also kept them away from our adult croquet set which is a bit more destructive for our boys. We love this toy!!"

Classic Outdoor Hit
Date - October 15, 2008
"We purchased this colorful set for an outdoor cookout honoring our son's birthday. My, how the children and adults gathered around this toy and enjoyed it. It was simple to set up in our yard and easy to take down and store for our next event. It works best on very shortly mowed grass otherwise the ball does not move forward easily. Still a hit!"

Uncharacteristically low quality for Land of Nod
Date - October 14, 2008
"I have bought MANY durable items from the LON, but this is by far the
worst purchase from them ever. The balls chipped instantly. Three of
the supports broke the first day, and more broke later. I have a very
gentle 3 year old daughter who played with this. I can't imagine what
will happen when my crazy nephews play with it. AND who ever heard of a
croquet set having only two balls and mallets?!

A big hit!
Date - October 14, 2008
"My son London loves Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, and he has been playing "croquet" with a hammer and some rubber balls ever since he watched the characters playing croquet on TV. You can imagine his excitement when he opened his very own croquet set, and I wasn't disappointed either. It's adorable, and easy to set up. It's great that it has both the indoor and outdoor options."

Hip Hip Hooray for Croquet!
Date - May 12, 2008
"We got this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and she loves it. Not only are the animals on it adorable, the construction is sturdy and of high quality. We have played indoors but love that it comes with attachments for setting up the wickets in the grass for outdoor play, too. My daughter could play with this all day... My only wish was that it came with more than two balls and two mallets. They're enough for now but it would be nice to have at least four for when friends want to play, too. All in all, a great buy!"

We love our croquet set!
Date - May 7, 2008
"This has been a great (and easy/fast to put up and take down) toy for us to play with in our backyard. My son loves it, and though he likes to make up his own rules (usually involving him getting extra turns), we have enjoyed it very much. I love the look and design of the wickets, plus its great to have an indoor option for rainy days."

Great Fun, Inside and Out
Date - May 6, 2008
"Great price for this wooden quality croquet set tough enough for kids. We push back the furniture in the family room and play it on the area rug. The kids also love to take it outside and plot the course out all over the yard. Not too many pieces to be cumbersome. The kids (ages 5 and 8) even set it up themselves."

Croquet Set
Date - April 10, 2008
"The look of the croquet set is adorable. If it were just to play inside, it would probably be fine. My children played with it in the yard, and the pegs on the bottom of the wickets have broken off in the dirt. I have no more pegs (outdoor stands) to use, so now when the ball hits the wickets they just fall over. Fine for indoor, not so great for outdoor."
