I had a dart board like this for years in the family room, but lost it in a move. The material that the Viper Shot King is made from will last forever. It is a well made board and the darts are good. They are not the premium quality and expensive darts used by many who are in leagues, but they are still very good. The darts go into the board easily and do not pop out from hitting the wires. This is always possible to happen, but seldom does.
