Kids love it and it rebounds back just like a bowling ball return.  I'm not sure if it would last for years if left out as your supposed to take it down after every use which is stupid - so know that by the way before you buy it.  It's plastic.  It's super easy to put up if you have one of those adjustable goals like we do. If you have a fixed one and followed manufacturers directions of taking it down after each use I'd stay find something made of metal you can leave up.  But so far we have left this up for 2 months.  We will see if it last.  I not taking the stupid thing down each time the boys play.
