Review on ๐ŸŽฏ Dart-Stop 36 inch Professional Octagonal Dart Board Backboard: Enhancing Wall Protection and Dartboard Surround by James Trapkin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stylish, sturdy and a little bit sexy

Like many people who reviewed this product, I had a problem with people missing my dartboard in my garage completely and instead hitting the wall. And since my garage walls are painted black (it's a human cave, after all), those wandering arrows leave little white craters in the wall from the drywall underneath the paint. This meant that a few times a year I had to strip the black paint and touch up the wall around the dartboard to get it looking nice again. Flash forward. . .A friend gave me a new dartboard, Gran Board 3s. Since I didn't have to pay for the dartboard, I still had money left over to treat myself to this dartboard. Now I don't worry too much about the placed darts hitting my walls as they are well protected from stray darts. If someone misses the dartboard and the sign and still hits my wall, I can suspend their membership of my male darts den for a year! Because if you miss that shield, you either don't even look at the target, or you get drunk, or you did it on purpose. What I like about this dartboard: 1. Very stylish, durable and even a bit sexy (how sexy can a dartboard be)2. Good installation instructions 3. Looks great on my wall with my new dartboard What I didn't like about this dartboard: 1. Although the installation was fairly easy, I needed help to mount it to the wall. Not a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind when you're ready to hang it on the wall. It is difficult to align holes by yourself.2. Premium price (I think a more reasonable price would be $99). If it weren't for the gift of a new dartboard I probably wouldn't feel comfortable spending more than $100 on this backboard due to budget constraints. Overall I give this dartboard 4/5 stars. I deduct 1 star for the price and there is really no other reason. Although installation can be tricky, there are friends for it when it comes time to hang it on the wall :-)
