Review on Thrilling Space-themed Basketball Set: Playz Rocket Astronaut for Curious Toddlers by Badazz Webb

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not only for children! for outdoor sports and games

Bought this for my dog and cat to keep them busy while I work at home. They love it. I will say that it is much more than expected. If you're short on space it's probably not the best choice for you, but if you have a game/bonus/large room to accommodate it then it's worth it. Also if you are buying for a dog that likes to chew/break down toys I do not recommend buying toys with balls and instead use tennis balls/other toys. I bought balls for balls and every day I go around collecting punctured/crushed/chewed plastic balls to throw in the trash. Again, they love it (my cat even kicks the ball around the house) but in hindsight I would have missed it. Durability: The Rocket Tent does tilt slightly to one side, but I've seen my cat jump from one surface to another. top/sides so overall I feel like it will hold up to her shenanigans as expected. To connect the pieces, one of them has a fabric loop and the other has a tie. There are four sets of cable ties for each connection point. My dog (a 40 lb border collie/cocker spaniel mix) thought the space between the ties *looked* big enough to be an entryway. He wasn't entirely wrong, but one of the hinges had snapped off. Again, it holds up as expected (and considering the price). Easy construction. The only disappointing part of the setup was the tent for a fairly minor issue that was easily fixed. Four tent poles are used to assemble the rocket, each with a curve around the center where the side of the rocket meets the top/roof. *Looks* like there is no turning direction to set the bars, but one side is a bit (literally 1-2 inches) longer than the other and I didn't realize I got the first two wrong , until I put the third one in the right direction.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
