What experts didn't like

Razer wires are not well secured and may pop out
If it weren’t for the issues with the ring, this would be a top-quality board.
Not durable like the rest
Numbers are hard to read
Several bad spots on the board
Not for children under 13 year
Some buyers agree that this dartboard is not the best for high-quality darts because the darts hit hard aluminum when you miss the scoring surface.
Wiring isn't staple-free
Board doesn’t always self-heal as promoted
The first thing to point out is this is not an entirely staple free dart board. It has a staple free bullseye though.
