This a great quality net, and the price is also great, just what I was looking for. I so glade that you still can buy " Made in USA ".

Received my order very quickly. It is a large strong net. You will need to get a handle for it, but that was no problem. Go to any building supply for that. Bought it for my little boy to catch insects and aquatic animals. He loves it.

I knew that it would come without a handle so that didn't bother me in the least bit, I just got a leftover stick from a recent project and screwed it on. It's big enough that you don't have to be perfect at every swing to make that great catch. I've caught tons of butterflies with this net. The mesh is perfect for gentle handling and despite my numerous run-ins with sticker bushes, it is extremely durable and not fragile at all. I would recommend this to anyone.

The overhang of the remaining portion of the net when it is folded over to capture an insect is not very long -- about three inches only. The rigid aluminum frame was crudely cut, with the cut on the handle not even at right-angles and with rough edges. Screw holes similarly rough and unfinished. Cheap but crude. You get what you pay for, I guess.

The other reviews are correct, you do need to get your own handle, but we found one that worked great.
I was tired of buying those $1-$5 nets at the stores and they break in like a week or two. My son is 6 and is really into bugs, so we go through a ton of bug nets. This one is great - it's huge - you really could catch a small animal in it and it is sturdy.
I'm so glad I bought it - it's great quality and a great price! I'm so done with buying the cheap plastic ones. This one is metal - kinda reminds me of a net you use at the pool to skim the water.
All his friends and neighbors love it too!
