Cricket Pro 650 Standing Electronic Dartboards with 24 Games, 132 Variations, and 6 Soft-Tip Darts Included

nice product

Seen a lot of bad reviews. Maybe they updated since the review date but everything went smooth for me.Package was fine, no issuesAll parts accounted forNo issues with hole alignmentSturdy and extra if bolted to wall with included bracketBoard itself is legit (official size for triple ring)If you have built IKEA furniture you can do this! A lot of people saying 2-4 hours with 2 people. Got the bad boy up Solo in 45 minutes.One thing for my alteration. I left off the “R” front cover board around the dart board itself so I would have access to adjust board if needed and power cord. If you install the “R” cover your pretty much screwed and would have to disassemble a majority to adjust board if it was to come lose or get to the power cord plug in. I just spray painted the securing back panel board black for cosmetics. Also added a light like most. You’ll want one (light) and they are pretty cheap.Would recommend unless you have 1500-2k to spend, if so by all means. This is a great “cheap” alternative.

Not the easiest to assemble. I've seen some videos of their unit which they assembled and they were not sturdy. Take those videos with a grain of salt. Not everyone is smart enough to assemble this. You need to be handy. Mine is very stable. It comes with a bracket for attaching it to the wall to prevent it from falling over. I strongly recommend that, however I didn't attach it to mine.The board itself is fun and works great. You should change your dart tips often so the darts stick well.It looks great and is a perfect addition to my man cave.

This is actual trash. The dart board stopped working after 2 months. We bought another dart board and tried to put it in and the cabinet fell apart.

Based on game play and overall appearance once the thing is fully assembled, I'd give this 4 or 5 stars. It's a lot of fun to play and we haven't had any issues after about 20 hours of play so far. It also looks pretty nice - as in the pictures.HOWEVER, I can't give it more than 3 stars based on the significant hassles with the delivery process, and getting all the right parts. When the box was initially delivered by FedEx, it was pretty beat up and looked like it had been re-taped multiple times. The delivery guy gave me the option of not accepting the delivery and blaming it on FedEx, but I could see that there was plenty of styrofoam packed in the box to support everything so I decided to take my chances - especially since I wanted to get it put together in time for Christmas. It turned out that none of the pieces were "broken" (good), but all of the larger wood pieces were warped (very bad). I called the customer service number on the assembly instructions and the guy was extremely helpful and nice and agreed to send replacement parts. They took about 5 days to arrive and once they did, it turned out that the two main side pieces of the cabinet were the wrong ones. I only discovered this once I was about 80% of the way through the assembly process. AARGH! (Speaking of the assembly process, yeah, it's a pain and yeah, the instructions are written in broken English, and yeah, it takes a long time, but in my experience, it's pretty much like that with all of this kind of self-assembly stuff. It's why you pay 20% or so less than you would if you bought an assembled one at Dick's.) I called customer service again and again, the guy was extremely friendly and helpful and assured me that he would personally walk to the warehouse and make sure they sent the correct replacement parts this time. He also rushed the delivery so I had them in 3 days. The third time was the charm, and I finished the assembly and it came out fine - albeit about a week late for Christmas. Notwithstanding some other comments about stability, it seems pretty stable to me, though I'd keep little kids from bumping into it. It is kind of top-heavy, and securing it to a wall is certainly a good idea. (I haven't done that myself.)So, the thing is reasonably though not completely stable, a lot of fun to play (there's a ton of different games and variations), difficult to assemble, and potentially a total pain (like I experienced) in getting all the right parts.

This dartboard required patience to receive and assemble. The first one I received appeared to be a return. The box had one strap around it and the rest was patched together with a lot of tape. Inside, the components were piled into the box and were scratched and chipped. I ordered a replacement, but UPS didn't even bother to deliver that one. Apparently, the box was sufficiently damaged that they returned it to sender. Luckily, the third time was the charm. The box had a couple of holes in it, but all in all it was okay, secured by 2 straps, and did not appear to be a return.We had one problem with the very top piece of the cabinet. The instructions said to screw 4 screws into the factory installed inserts, but two of the inserts were crooked. One was so bad that it split the wood as we were tightening the screw. However, we were able to glue and clamp the crack, and then maneuvered the screw and insert a bit to secure it. Since it's the top piece and not weight bearing, it seems to be fine and doesn't impact the integrity of the cabinet.As for the rest of the cabinet, I expected it to be a bit light and wobbly based on many of the reviews. This is not the case at all. It is very stable. The shelves screw into the sides and back (rather than being adjustable and just laying on pins), which adds to the cabinet's stability. We have it sitting on low-pile carpeting, and it's sturdy and secure WITHOUT securing it to the wall. Since the bottom sticks out a bit from the wall due to the baseboard, we attached 2 Everbilt door stops (see pic) to the top of the cabinet. These rest against the wall, serving as bumpers to keep the cabinet resting solidly against the wall, and also serving as spacers to hold the top part of the cabinet away from the wall the same distance as the bottom of the cabinet.One other tip. There will inevitably be some scuffs and scratches on the boards because the pieces are not individually wrapped. However, these are very easy to touch up with a Minwax stain marker in ebony. It takes only a few minutes to touch up the scuffs and looks great. (A Sharpie works but isn't as good of a color match. The ebony Minwax matches really well.)If you are considering this dartboard, don't be dissuaded by the negative reviews. Just understand that it will require patience to assemble. Once that's done, it's well worth the effort.
