Its all about the bag.
The description of this item does not tell you what sort of bag you will get. I bought this a few years ago and it had a plastic speed bag in it.

I bought one of these, got it mounted, no trouble. I enjoy every minute of working out with the equipment. However, the platform is made of particle board - mine broke in half this morning after about 3 weeks of use. So if you’re like me and tend to lay into your speed bag, be prepared to replace the platform with a piece of solid wood.

After 1 week of learning on this bag. It was way too slow even inflated as much as i dare. I replaced the bag and had no problems with the higher quality bag but, after two days the swivel broke. I would recomend buy a high quality bag and swivel or set if you plan on using it for anything more than decoration.

This is a great value for the beginning boxer in your house. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the swivel that it comes packaged with. The one that’s included is the most basic plastic swivel you can buy and after a few rounds of hitting the bag it would come unscrewed and end up getting punched across the room. I purchased the next step up in Everlast swivels for about $20 and the difference was instantly noticeable. Faster rebounds and a much more secure mount. You may also want to upgrade to a smaller bag after you get used to the one packaged with this kit. Oh, and one more thing, the kit comes with no lag bolts to mount it to a wall. I picked up 4 from the local hardware store for a few dollars, but I was surprised they weren’t included like they were with the Everlast heavybag I also bought.
For everything you get in this kit, it is well worth the money and a great way to get started in boxing for a good workout or competitive sport.

Great first time speed bag
Great home-based starter speed bag. I may outgrow it, but then again I may not. Really gives me a great workout, and comes with everything you need and then some (jump rope).

Speed Bag
I would say overall this is a good set. Fairly easy to install and set up. The brackets seem to be a little flimsy but I haven’t used it much yet.

Ya get what ya pay for
Everlast, but made in China!!??
The platform board was broken in half. It was made of some kind of crappy presswood (basically a step above cardboard).

everlast speed bag good for beginners only
The first problem is that I finally have time to put the thing up and when I read the instructions, I quickly found that the most important item for assembly is NOT INCLUDED.

Go for better quality
This is a good deal for the price. But when it comes to tools and gym equipment, better quality is always best! This is acceptable but not great!
