This hefty, regulation dartboard for steel-tipped darts was made to hang out in a tavern, which may explain why it's so tough. We got it because of the poor aim of the guy who was drilling the mounting holes on the back. It's a bristle board, 18" dia x 1-1/2" thick (which is THICK), with an authentic, slightly veined surface, an MDF back, a steel band around the outside, and a steel number ring, which you might have to re-attach, on the perimeter. No wire rings to define the sections, though. Tough enough for years and years of abusive amusement.

Think of it as a shortcut to learning perspective. This clever 50-sheet pad of white, 7" x 4-1/2" paper has a fine red and blue grid pattern that shows your drawing and doodling in 3-D when you wear the included 3-D glasses. It's our candidate for the why-didn't-I-think-of-that award this year.
