    Jaysus might get one of these myself for the job, keep it locked up then lash it up at lunch time to practice on.

    The only bad thing is the P&P could cost a bomb!

    Cheers for the honesty, maybe if you bought a heap of them the supplier might bring down the cost! If you get them in soon put me down for one!

    Ah that's a pity as I'd like to buy from an Irish site, only thing that is stopping me from buying the stand on the other site is the cost of the P&P would probably cost quiet a lot of my hard earned money!;):D I think I might splash out on it though for me birthday at the end of October!:) Hope their special offer is still going!;)

    i ordered one

    arrived this morning in work

    will test it when i get home, its going to be my solution to practicing in a cold shed in the winter, might save me from getting a few colds over the winter period and help me practice more

    Took me over an hour to setup initially due to poor instructions, what holds the board into the cabinet looks flimsy but I trust unicorn has tested that extensively, seemed odd to use plastic to hold a heavy board on, otherwise it looks good, will take about 2 mins to setup now the board is sorted, packs away grand, the cabinet is also a carry box for easy movement and the stand bag is spacious

    Got a couple of chances to use it, its actually quite good, i set it up now in 3 or 4 mins, just takes some time to undo the wing nuts

    its otherwise very good, i setup anywhere and start throwing

    well its a dartboard hanging on a pole, so physics would dictate that high on a pole wouldnt be entirely secure from a wobble or 2

    but once its up, and the board is on, just throwing darts at it, seems very stable to me
