High Quality Bocce Set
928319
I'm not someone who has played Bocce very often, but the few times I have played it, I had tons of fun. So I decided that it would be a great idea to get a set for the entire family to play. It's hard to explain to people who have never played Bocce exactly how you play it. The best way that I can explain what Bocce is would be to compare it to Curling. If you've ever seen Curling, Bocce is very much like curling, only without the ice.

First of all, you need to know that this is a very high quality Bocce set, and while anyone can play Bocce, if you're just going to try the game a few times, you may want to get a less expensive set. But if you plan on playing it at least a few times every summer, this is the set for you. One thing that's great about this set is that it's going to last for a long time. It's one of those summer games that can be pulled out of your closet when you finally have grandchildren, and even after. The balls are definitely high quality and will last for a very long time. And it's also really nice that they included a tape measure - it kept my husband from cheating!

The bag is high quality, but why they wanted to put a cut-out circle in it is beyond me, because if the jack isn't put in the right place, it can fall through the hole. You need to make sure it's either in the very back or in the very bottom. And I also agree with the other reviewer in the fact that the colors are much more similar than the stock photo shows. The balls are large, but aren't heavy enough that my children can't play - they actually had a great time with it. All in all, this is a very high quality bocce ball set - one that will entertain your family for a very long time.

Very nice quality set, the hanger is a nice to-have. The grips are soft rubber and feel good in the hands. Each utensil has a built-in stand, that allows for setting it down after stirring and not getting sauce on the counter.

I sent this set to my college student son for him to use with his friends on the banks of the Charles in Cambridge. The criteria were: inexpensive (<$100), quality good enough for a serious game and for skill development over several years' of use, lightweight enough to be carried for a mile or two, shippable (Amazon ships this item from Target; it cannot be ordered online and shipped directly from Target, however).  My son and his engineer friends are gear freaks, very critical and demanding.  I examined reviews for every set offered on Amazon and other sporting goods sites and chose this one, even among those priced closer to $100.  It was an excellent choice.  The guys are very pleased and my hyper-evaluative son said, "This is amazing quality for the price."  If you were picking up bocce at a seriously competitive level (league play), this would not be the set for you.  If you were buying something for your under-ten kids to play with in the backyard, you could go with something cheaper.  But for adult play at the serious-but-not-competitive level, for use several times/year as opposed to every week, this is the one to choose.  My research showed me that weight and quality (and therefore price and, negatively, portability) are highly correlated.  A set with good value, therefore, is weighty for its price in comparison with others.  Lighter weight balls will also be affected by the lumpiness of non-court play sites, so you should probably go for the heaviest set you can afford and carry.

There is a very nice quality to the set.  They are well made and bigger than I expected, which was nice.

Great quality chess set. The hand-carved pieces are gorgeous. Not as elaborate as other pieces from other sets but definitely worth the money.

This chess set is built well and looks and feels great.

The pieces:
The quality is good, with solid triple-weighted pieces. This is a large regulation set suitable for both tournament and casual play. It is really satisfying to feel the solid weight of these pieces as you move them around the board. Their weight also makes them steady so your pieces won't tip in the heat of blitz play. There are mould lines as you would expect on any cast plastic pieces, but they are overall pretty clean. I scraped some extra plastic off the queen's crowns to clean them up a bit.

The bag:
The bag is nice and has handles and a shoulder strap for carrying. It comfortably fits the included roll-up board, all the pieces for the set, and a chess clock with some room to spare if you want to add some notebooks or other odds and ends. There are also two pen/pencil loops to keep your writing materials in place. Everything seems protected inside and I would not worry about damage from reasonable use.

The board:
This is a basic vinyl roll-up board used by clubs and tournaments all over. At first it had a little bit of curl from storage, but I was able to play on it right away without any problems. After letting is sit out for a while it now lies flat with no problems. It rolls of quickly and neatly for storage and transportation and fits nicely into the bag.

Packaging:
The set is packaged thoughtfully with all items protected from damage in transit. The queens even had thin cardboard/paper wrapped around their crowns to prevent damage during transit. Everything is packaged in a manufacturer box and again an overbox from Amazon. The mail carrier would have to seriously abuse this thing to damage it.

Final thoughts:
If you're looking for a top quality, transportable set that that still has a great look and feel to it then I'd highly recommend this set. But as the title of my review implies, quality comes with a price. This is probably one of the most expensive sets of its kind. But hey, $40 for something that should last you many years of play isn't so bad. You can skimp and opt for a cheaper set, but you will regret it when you pick up hollow plastic pieces that feel like cheap child's toys. If you have the cash and are looking for a portable, durable, regulation chess set, then buy this!

I'm extremely picky about my fondue, and was very pleased with the quality of the set. A very nice, heavy ceramic pot with a good thick bottom (to more evenly distribute heat and keep your cheese from burning). The rechaud (base) was also of solid construction. It used to be very hard to find an authentic set like this outside of Switzerland, and I'd gotten used to paying quite a bit more, too.

Was looking for the best quality set I could find for the cheapest price for a first annual croquet tournament with adults, and I was very happy with this purchase. Completed a 3 hour match with alcohol-infused players, and all parts came out of it in great shape. I foresee this set lasting a long time.

This is a great set for just playing for general fun in the backyard.  This is not the weight of the "official" Bocce, but if you read the description, it gives you the actual grams of the balls - so no mistake should be made on the weight.  The weight of the balls in this set are about half of the weight of the official balls.  This is a fun set and lights up via batteries inside the balls.  As a reminder, it's not likely an official set of Bocce is going to light up either.  Therefore, if you are hardcore Bocce players, then this set might not be for you.  But, if you are just looking for some backyard fun that just about anyone can play - this is an awesome and fun game and set for that.

What's in the box:
4 blue balls
4 green balls
1 pallina
1 Key - use it to twist open the light and battery compartment - (3) LR1130 button cell batteries in each ball
1 Carrying bag for your Bocce Set - it does contain all the balls - I would suggest a little size pocket to hold the light/battery compartment key-  otherwise, where does one keep the key and be able to find it again.
Instructions

All of the balls have a recessed button that if pushed in will light up - this is to extend play into the night, which is definitely something you can not do with the official bocce set.  All in all - it seems to be a fairly solid set and should take the yard fun into the night.

Mepra makes very good silver ware. The finish is perfect and the weight of the pieces is excellent. They have great style and a good selection for just about any ones taste. This set has a much more modern feel to it and the black handles are a nice touch. They feel like they are part of the metal structure of the actual pieces. The black finish seems to be nice and tough as well, but only time will tell about how good the finish is. It is well applied and seems like it will hold for many years . All in all, a very nice set that inspires quality and confidence with great style

This set will handle almost every cheese you will want to serve. The bow cutter will cut those hard cheeses very well and the slicer and knives are good quality and solid stainless so the wash up very well. Have had compliments on this set a few times already. It is nice to have the bamboo box to store it as well.

These are as durable as any Bocce set I have ever used. We've played probably 30-40 games and they only show the normal scuffs one would expect from use.

We've had this set for years now.  It is heavy duty made out of pvc pipes and the balls are nice and heavy.  Fantastic quality especially compared to sets I have seen in stores for way more.
