High Quality and It Works Great
High quality and it works great. A couple of YouTube videos will help you with assembly. Mine came with all parts and I had no problem putting it together in thirty minutes. As previous reviewers have noted, you can use zip ties through the grommet holes on each side of the net and around the frame to pull more tension for a higher bounce. You will have to buy your own zip ties. Go and get some while you’re waiting for it to arrive. Also fiddle with the angle of the lower bar to change the bounce height. You can strike the ball as hard as you like into the rebounder. Great for grooving in your stroke technique over thousands of repetitions. It’s also a great workout. Wish I had one of these all of my tennis life. I highly recommend this product.

Great product
The goodVery easy to assemble. Just follow the YouTube videos because the included instructions are not that good. The most popular video shows using zip ties to make the net more taut. Mine actually came with 2 hooks you can screw in so I didn’t need to use zip ties. Overall construction is good. It stood up against 50+ mph wind gusts without tipping over.Usage wise it works really well. The ball returns consistently. Once you get into a rhythm you can keep hitting until you tire out. I didn’t know this beforehand but you can rotate the net at least 5 degrees which will help change bounce height. If the bounce height still isn’t enough, there’s an easy and cheap hack. Just get a long piece of wood and angle it on the ground. I used doorstops to adjust the angle. Angling the wood towards the rebounder will increase the ball bounce significantly.The badI’m unsure if my unit was returned or was sitting in storage for a while. There were many scratches and a lot of rust buildup on the parts. Thankfully the rust wiped off easily. Before assembling I sprayed Rust-Oleum onto the many nicks and scratches. It was a little annoying but not enough for me to return the product. If it wasn’t for that I’d rate the product 5 stars.

"What the ##!#!"??
The concept is great, but the instructions are not at ALL helpful & I had to speak with the manufacturer about the "ties", which were shown in the video she sent me of the device equipment being assembled, but weren't in the packaging. This was supposed to be a birthday gift for my husband. We are blessed to have a home that came with tennis courts, but no backboard. It took my husband and me several hours to attempt to replicate the "how to" video for assembling this. We NEVER did get to use the rebounder as shown in the video . Unless you want to continually practice your "ground strokes", I would not recommend this product

Took a while to assemble this due to poor instructions. Had to swap parts from left to right side a few times due to lack of clear depiction. product works as intended.

Really awesome!!
I absolutely LOVE my tennis rebounder. Granted, it came with one screw missing, and a little hole in the net (I think it was set up before, not brand new), but the screw was easily replaced, and the hole doesn't affect play the least. I set it up by myself in about 10 minutes and have hit a gazillion balls since I got it. It gets me in the groove. It does exactly what the video shows. My preschoolers love it too. It's a perfect tennis partner for any age and any level. I wish I had found one of these a long time ago, and highly recommend it!! Ps. They also shipped it fast upon my request :)

Great tennis aid & the kids love it! Practice, practice, practice!
I purchased the XK Sports Tennis Rebound for my kids to practice their stokes when we're not on court and it works as expected. It came with a few missing pieces (zip ties & a couple of screws) and some extra pieces (hooks & some other screws) which made my setup take a couple of hours. The diagram also added to the confusion by showing six screws but I only found where I needed four. In addition, I went to Lowe's for some bolts to hold them on the outside; otherwise, it was difficult for me to keep it together.A couple days after contacting Customer Support, someone called me to work on the missing parts but I let them know I got them on my own.So, their Customer Support was willing to help me. Other than those few minor problems, the rebounder is working as expected and my kids love it!

Easy to assemble. Fun to use. Excellent home-based cardio workout!
I've been happily using my XK Sports Tennis Rebounder for a month now and have nothing but praise and accolades for it. I assembled it myself while following the youtube video. I use it every day after spending 8 to 9 hours at my job as an applications analyst (basically chained to my computer all day). This rebounder allows me to get a wonderfully exhausting cardio workout in my own driveway at any hour of the day or night. Although I'm not a tennis player, I easily grasped the technique for hitting full-power forehand and backhand strokes consistently, accurately and energetically while having a great time pretending to be Venus or Serena. Far more fun and much more convenient than a gym membership for those of us who need a home-based cardio routine that doesn't require much training, talent or space. I might also add that my 60 year old knees usually balk at most types of cardio exercise--but not this one. Truly a best buy for those of us who are not tennis players but are seeking a tennis-like workout routine to do in the comfort and convenience of our own driveway.

Verdict Not In Yet
I haven't played tennis since the pandemic. I used to play everyday so I bought the XK rebounder to try to maintain my game. It's been too cold so I've not been very motivated to use it. I do wish that the rebounder came with instructions on how to make adjustments to the tension and slant of the rebounder to make the bounce more consistent. I'm sure as the weather warms up, I'll have a better idea of how to rate this product.
