So I need everyone's opinion ASAP. My husband isn't around to tell me if I'm crazy or not. So, I purchased this at Costco today to put in our basement. I was planning on buying a kids tent to put in the main area but then the boys went nuts over this. So, I've been assembling it for 2 hours and need to know whether I should continue (just one more hour) or pack it up and return it. It does fold up (the base with the bballs folds up) but is still quite large. That is what is holding me back. The price was actually really decent, it's just the size.
It's pretty cool as it has an electronic score board etc...
So, keep it or pack it up?
pack-it-up. I'd go into reasons why, but I won't. Just my opinion. Take the basketball hoop from outside and put it inside?
ReplyDeleteSince you've done more than 50% the work, is it worth finishing and then seeing if the boys will play with it more than a day? Good thing with Costco is that they have a good return policy so you can always wait a day or two!
ReplyDeleteMy husband wants one.
ReplyDeletemy opinion: pack it up. too big...let them play basketball OUTside.
ReplyDeletebut..that's just my opinion. i could never handle something like that in my house :)
Seems like the perfect hyper activity for when it is RAINY outside but still want to blow off the boy's energy : ). And costco takes things back months later, so just wait a week or two and see if it actually bugs you.
ReplyDeleteIf you have the room, use it! My kids loved it in the store...
ReplyDeleteKEEP! As a mom of boys I can see that toy will get you hours of occupied kids...
ReplyDeleteI would stick with an outdoor basketball hoop - your finished basement doesn't look very big to have something like this in it. My husband and boys played with mini hockey sticks and a little "soft" ball in our basement. Otherwise all other sports were done outside.
ReplyDeleteThat toy's going to last YEARS longer than a tent would. But you need to think about how much it could drive you crazy over those years. In BC, having some good rain activities is pretty important. I COULD see the whole family playing with this too...depending on the day...
ReplyDeleteCool! My boys would go crazy over that too! I do understand that votes for return it, but... craziness is pretty fun with boys!
