Are the legs sturdy or do they tend to fall off during play? What are the boards made out of?

No, the legs stayed on all during play. It took some effort to get them on initially so I don't believe they'd fall out. The boards are made of some sort of compressed wood with laminated top on 1 side and felt on the other. We had an issue with one of the nets ripping and emailed the company about it. They quickly shipped us a replacement so they do back up their product.

The legs are ok but the board is cheap particle board. The nets that catch the washers tore after just a few games. Not worth the price.

I would say still flimsy. One of the legs broke off after about 2 weeks of standard play by a 5 year old.

I got them for my son so I don remember. The quality if the board wasn't as good as other brands so pay a little more and get better decks.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

It has a LOT of flex, being a plastic board that doesn't have Penny's signature formula. I am at the upper weight limit, however, and the board has held up just fine. Remember to keep your feet over the trucks, though, even with the board being as small as it is.

They're made of very thick plastic. Very sturdy -- I weigh 205 and could stand and even jump on the things with no problem.They're as comfortable as any hard thing is to sit on. We bought small cushions and put them on top of each one of the two cubes we bought.

They are made of "hair", but are fairly sturdy - my 2 year old niece has played with them a lot since Christmas and they are still fairly well kept.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

The board has small sockets in the back that allow it to hang off screws that have been screwed into the wall. I however do not know if it would be sturdy enough... we keep ours on the floor for our 17 mo to scribble on... I draw letters, numbers, pictures, etc. for game-time (pattern recognition, etc.).

I think it is sturdy enough. Our 3 year old is playing with it fine. But it did come with one of the legs not attached, We had to glue it...

It's OK. Most of it is made of laminated pressboard or particle board. For us, it has held up with moderate (10 and 12 year old kids) use for the past year. I would consider it a starter set before you commit to a real wood table.The table has held up, the playing field has remained level. The grips do come off occasionally.It is pretty much what you would expect for the price, and has lived up to that expectation. I wouldn't expect it to be around in 5 years, and I didn't think it would.

The base is a poly-resin, so it is pretty heavy and substantial. Watch out for the rings on the curved part of the base, if you grab them and lift there, the plastic ring will come off, and you must glue it back. The game board is a clear acrylic plastic and not glass, most likely to reduce the weight. Still, it is not too heavy, but you cannot place it on a night stand or such, the weight is mentioned in the description.

Well... they are pretty sturdy but..... also a little fragile. I bought them for my 3 yo girl who played appropriately with them and my 2 year old son slowly crushed and broke off pieces over time.

They are very sturdy. I use them in my preschool classroom with four year olds. I also leave them out at play time and they are holding up magnificently.

Yes, they are sturdy, but are not difficult to remove. This has provided hours of entertainment for my grandchildren.

I am not sure what they are made of but they do come out. My girls love playing with them. They are solid but have a soft fuzz coat. You can't move the legs.
