This review is from: DMI Bristle Dartboard in Oak Finish Cabinet (Sports)
I’ve played at least a hundred games on this dartboard so far, and I’ll say it’s a decent deal, but I’d only recommend it to occasional players.
Pros: -Sisal bristle board is good quality; colors line up with wires -Board has no-staple bullseye to reduce bounce-outs (but is not staple-free elsewhere) -Board looks OK from the outside, matches your Ikea furniture -Came with all necessary mounting hardware -All-in-one dart solution; comes with everything you need to start playing, including chalk
Cons: -Mine arrived with a small blemish on the front fake-wood finish -Overall build quality is mediocre, with parts not lining up, and doors of slightly different sizes -Staples in the triple ring and generally thick wires contribute to bounce-outs -The darts, chalk, and tiny eraser that come with the board are of low quality; you will want to replace all of these after a few dozen games -No cork or felt backing behind the board to soften near-misses
Conclusion: If you’re an occasional player looking for an affordable dart station, this will satisfy (and if you have Ikea furniture, it will match too). However, if you think you’ll be playing a lot of games, buy the components separately from the start (staple-free board, tungsten darts, solid wood case).

It’s funny how manufacturers can get away with using these types of statements talking about their junk. “solid oak cabinet” “It’s the oak cabinet that really stands out, however, thanks to its durable finger-joint construction and light oak finish”
The oak finish this description is refering to a a glued on vinyl cover that looks like solid oak. It’s poorly glued on and the vinyl “crinkles” up were it is stretched over the edges of the doors.

Very good board. reasonable quality darts included. Easy to attach and hang with enclosed hardware. The numbers on the calkboard are for some reason very small, but adequate. The case looks pretty good, but is NOT solid wood…composite with veneer.
