This is probably the best dart board I have ever owned. This is great for hanging in the basement and having some friends over or if you own a pub or billiard this would make a great addition. I used to play darts with my family when I was a kid so I was so excited to finally have a board of my own to be able to play with my own children. It is such a great stress reducer and when our little one starts to get upset or throw a fit, I let her throw a couple under close supervision of course and she just seems to forget whatever she is upset about. The corking in the panels seems to be really sturdy and well made. I would say this could definitely withstand whatever strength you put behind your throws. It's great for a home entertainment and I love the Viper brand. They seem to be a quality made product which is rare these days.
