I love this thing and it was made with a ton of care. A lot of the ‘features’ really aren’t described but I appreciate the thoughfulness in the design. The bat only springs up a little, so you don’t sent it flying across the room. The lid only releases the bat at 90°, instead of at a lesser angle like cheaper dugouts would. The joint between the lid and the box is smooth and flat as could be. Honestly I couldn’t think of a way to improve this dugout and I couldn’t be happier.
