Ok for limited training
My son is 9U and I picked this mound specifically because it has the skinny landing area. He was dropping his lead foot (left) too far to the left on delivery and this forced him to drop is foot towards the catcher.Ok build quality. The rubber is a piece of wood. My biggest issue is the surface. It can get a little slippery. The other issue is that many young pitchers will become fearful of landing off of the skinny landing area and falling...this can alter their delivery quite a bit.I've moved on and purchased a much better full sized portable mound. For our first mound, this wasn't too bad.

I coach kid pitch Little League and this is a spectacular practice tool.
I coach Little League kid pitch 9-10 year olds and was looking for a way to have my team (who are all learning to pitch) practice pitching off a mound, as many of our practice fields don't have pitching mounds. After reading a few reviews, I took a gamble on buying the 6 inch travel mound. It is spectacular... a great mound, in that it is very sturdy enough to be used by both kids and adults (in a coaching capacity), durable, and very portable. My son uses it in the yard everyday and then I fold it up and take it to each practice. It is a well designed, high quality, handmade, very solid wooden product. I wish they had varnished the wood to weatherproof it more, but that was easily fixed with a few extra dollars spent on varnish and 15 mins of work on my part. All in all, a very solid 5 stars for ingenuity and craftsmanship.

Simple to set up and does the job
5 min set up or less. Packs up nicely. Used it a few times and does the job for my 11 year old. Didn't want to spend a whole lot on a fancier mound, and this one does what it's needed to do. Super portable and easy to tote around.

It’ll do
Definitely for beginner youth as far as sturdy and durable. The wood had a crack in its grain so we’ll see if it last 6 months

Great product
Works great when you don’t have a field to work on with a pitching mound. Very portable and also keep the pitcher from stepping off to the side. Because of the way it is built it makes them step straight forward

My 9 year old loves it.
It’s held up under 2 times a week use. No issues yet.

Kid loves it but not worth the$
Was delivered with no instructions... the "rubber" was a wood board screwed into the bottom that initially looked like a brace/support. There were 2 eye hooks taped to the side and 2 straps that are too short to connect to each other or anything else. Still have no idea what the eye hooks are for or how the pieces connect for "easy" transport. $20 of materials and a middle school tech class could make these in a day. If my son wasn't so in love with it I'd return it in a heartbeat. If you have even basic carpentry skills save your self $200.

Pretty basic, rudimentary construction for the high price.
Though it serves its purpose, the construction is basic at best and it's questionable whether it will stand up to normal use.
