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

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 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.

This unit is quite nice. I have nothing to compare it to since this is my first experience with an electronic dart board. Overall, I do like it because it's fun to play with the family.Positives: It looks nice once built. The electronic dart board performs very well, and as I said it is fun to play with my 3 teenage boys.Negatives: Assembly takes some time and more importantly patience. Instructions are OK, but the screws are kind of soft (cheap) and will strip with an electric or battery operated drive, so be careful with that and set the speed very low. Also, once the unit was assembled, the top part (which contains the dart board) was slightly tilted forward. It seemed obvious to me that this would not last long. Fortunately, I was putting this in an unfinished basement that had a wall studded out. I simply used the L bracket that came with the unit and braced it to the studded wall. Problem solved.The other issue is that the darts that come with the unit are horrible. They lasted about 1 hour. We went to Dick's sporting goods and got some nice replacement darts.Bottom Line: I would recommend this, but would advise using additional support for the top part via an "L" bracket and some screws directly to a stud or some other hardware to secure to top piece to the bottom. I'd also advise in purchasing other darts for the game. Everything else seems good. Plenty of storage space in this unit, not just for darts, but whatever else you want.Update 1/1/2015Ordered some new darts from Amazon. I had purchased some from Target and Dick's but they too were not very durable.These arrived a couple of days ago and they are good. They're a bit light weight, but durable. No more tightening things on the dart after every shot. I played 3 games of cricket with my 13 year old son and he had one bent tip that he replaced on his, but mine were still good....and we're not pros.Set of Twelve Brass 2ba 16gm Soft Tip Darts, 100 Black Dart Tips, & Dart Wrenchby Billiard Evolutionhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YPXZFK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would give it zero stars if it was an option. Cheap and not sturdy at all. Not to mention, it’s an insanely short return window. I rather have thrown the money into a fire pit.

Bought this cabinet and board for Christmas 2022. Setup was easy. Me and my daughter had it up and playing in about an hour. It did feel very wobbly until we got the final piece, the back cover, on. It sturdied it up significantly. It is in our basement on carpet so it did feel a bit top heavy, used the provided wall attachment and it is very secure now. We did add a tap light to the top area to light the playing area up, works and looks great. I would recommend this unit, family has loved playing it.
