The tee is sturdy and stands up to my 6 year old lugging it back and forth to the yard and hitting it repeatedly in various areas. He is even able to adjust the height of the tee himself, and the tee would stay in place even after repeated bashing. Stands up well to us chucking it in the trunk and going places with it. The only thing I can't stand is the smell of rubber/synthetic material. It doesn't bother you unless you're cooped up with it in the car. Compared to my son's coaches' tee, this is way superior. His is always falling over. I think we'll have to lend him ours.
