A slim blue base runs 25cm long and only 3.2cm wide, with a green pole rising to a white backboard and a red hoop, standing 20.2cm tall. Along the base sits a red spring platform holding a bright yellow ball. Press the end of the springy platform and the ball launches up in an arc towards the hoop. Getting it through takes a steady finger and a good sense of timing. The ball is held on a length of string, so it won't roll away and get lost under the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing so compact, it sits happily on a kitchen table, a bedroom desk or a playroom shelf, ready for a quick round after homework, after dinner or on a rainy afternoon. There is no screen and nothing complicated to learn: one ball, one hoop and a bit of friendly competition. Take turns, keep score, or see how many baskets you can land in a row. It is a kids' game with an old-fashioned charm that fits right in with wooden toys and board games on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe game is made almost entirely of wood: pine for the base, birch for the pole, beech for the spring platform and the ball, and schima wood for the hoop, with a polypropylene string keeping the ball tethered. The bright blue, red, green, white and yellow give it a sunny, classic look. It comes in two pieces, so it goes together quickly and comes apart again to tuck away in a drawer or toy box when the game is over. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water to look after the wood. Wrapped up, it makes a cheerful little gift that will be played with long after the paper is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHoop: wood (Schima superba); spring platform \u0026amp; ball: wood (beech); base: wood (pine); pole: wood (birch); string: polypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.095KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot for children under 3 years of age.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the tabletop basketball game?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 25cm long and 3.2cm wide, and stands 20.2cm tall, so it fits neatly on a desk, a kitchen table or a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the basketball game made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made almost entirely of wood: a pine base, a birch pole, a beech spring platform and ball, and a schima wood hoop, with a polypropylene string.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you play the tabletop basketball game?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePress the end of the springy platform to launch the yellow ball up towards the red hoop, and keep practising your timing until you land a basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the ball get lost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ball is tethered by a length of string, so it stays with the game rather than rolling off and disappearing under the furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it easy to set up and put away?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it comes in two pieces, so it goes together quickly and comes apart again for tidy storage in a drawer or toy box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is the game?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 0.095KG, light enough to carry from room to room or to pack into a bag for a trip away from home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rex London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516763103499,"sku":"REX-31336","price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/31336-01.jpg?v=1794092175","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/kids-wooden-tabletop-basketball-game-with-tethered-ball","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
