I purchased this bocce set for our summer trip last year. We use it in the back yard and take it along on picnics. Balls are sturdy and the carrying case is good enough to hold them. Instructions are included but we play by our own rules. It's mostly a social-drink beer and toss the ball game for us. It's very compact and easy to store, but it is heavy. I'm pleased with the purchase.

I planned a summer party this year and thought it might be fun to try playing Bocce. I had never played before but I didn't want to get a cheap set or a "starter" set, I wanted the real thing. I bought this set and it looks great. Good weight and the case is sturdy. I brought it out during the party and it was used the entire rest of the day in the yard. Since then my friends and I have played several more times and the set is holding up just fine. There are a few tiny scratches on some of them but that's just normal wear and tear. Accidentally hitting the bricks lining the trees in my yard probably doesn't help, but they took the hit just fine! This is a really nice set for a good price, I would very much recommend them.

This set would be great except that I received 3 yellow balls and only one blue ball instead of two of each. I have emailed the company to see if they will do anything about it.

They get scratched up the first time you use them but I haven't seen any other bocce balls that don't get scratched either.
I bought this set for my father-in-law, and got a chance to play over the July 4th weekend. The balls have a good heft to them (not light, like some others I've used), and the bag is fine. I think another reviewer stated there were no instructions. At least in this shipment, there was a single-sided 8.5x11" page of instructions at the top of the bag.
Because they are made of resin, I noticed some marks and scratches on the balls before the first round was even over, but they didn't affect gameplay (roll, bounce, etc.).
One minor gripe is that the set has four colors, instead of two, but that's easily overlooked when having a blast playing bocce with friends and family.
I'm going to order a set for myself once I'm done with this review. I want to use these on grass, the beach, anywhere.
