11 year old ... is this too flimsy?

Yes, pretty much very flimsy although our (at that time) 6 and now 7 yr old plays with it some time. The arrows when shot seldom stick to any target we tried.

I wouldn't recommend it if you want it to be a toy that lasts a while. Arows did stick but bow kept coming apart. Not for an 11 yr. old.

I think it would withstand an 11 year old, but I think he or she would soon need something closer to the real thing. We've never had it come undone or break; and it does stick to your target, but you have to be pretty straight on.

Yes. It is nice, but really for younger children. An 11 year-old could handle something closer to the real thing.

well, given that it has easily removable limbs attached to ball joins, I would say no. BUT - there are others that are cheaper and much sturdier that you can find on Amazon and they will hold up well to the kind of play activities 11-year olds will put them through. Hope this helps.

I think it would be appropriate for all ages. I am skilled, and it is a solid table. My kids are beginners and have a blast with it.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

It would work, but I would suggest getting a full size set. Your 11 year old will outgrow this set in the next couple of years.

Hi. We've had ours for a year and a half and it holds up ok for 2 adults. If you lean on the glass top with too much weight, it feels like it wants to tilt a little. Perhaps something heavier may work better for you and your lively 7 year old. Hope this helps. :)

It is pretty sturdy, but it might collapse if a child fell against it or yanked on it. My youngest child was 15 when I bought mine so I never really gave it any thought.

Depends on the weight of your kids. My 11 year old is 90 pounds, and he can bounce without any problems. My 8 year old is 70 pounds, and she has difficulty bouncing.

No, sorry. This is more a collectible that a toy. The handling would do a child of six years of this, it would break quickly. You should look at other options, such as Hasbro or Mattel that are really oriented to children of these ages. Thanks for reading. My greetings

Well I bought it for my grandson 2 years ago (he's was 6 at the time) and he stills uses it, but the only thing wrong with it is he said it was for little kids ( he's quite athletic) meaning it was to low for him. Hope this helps you out!!

I would definitely say it is not flimsy! I bought the green stock vs and it is very sturdy! Definitely worth the money and I'm very satisfied with the quality!

It depends on the age of the child; 10+ it should be durable enough. Any younger, no. The safe answer is, no.

Yes I think this Stuffie would be great for an 11 year old. My granddaughter loves her. Good Luck. Carmen

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older. My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old.

My son is 8 and its perfect height for him. But also it extends too. (So I can use it also, lol) Its a good little detector, I'd say it'd be good for an 11 year old. If its his/her first one I'd say this one for sure. Hope that helps!

I had one that lasted about a month and another that lasted a handful of jumps. If you have little ones that don't weight much that go in one-two at a time, it's probably okay. If older kids jump hard into it, then this isn't going to hold up.

My son is 10 and hits baseballs into it and it holds up fine. IF it's too windy it's difficult to stay standing, and it can be difficult to fold up. To answer your question, I think it would depend on the age and strength of the user.
