Can't speak to durability yet, but so far so good. I didn't want to spend north of $350 for a Bownet that's the same size, so I opted for this one. When assembled the top tape is 6.5' off the ground, not 7'. However I actually like this since 6.5' is the height of a regulation youth goal. 14' width is narrower than a regulation 18.5' goal which is great for practice. Perfect size for my 7 year old.
Quality is fine though the hinge at one of the back corners is slightly misaligned and i have to push with a bit extra force to get the button to lock in place. Otherwise it will close when I attach the net at the top. I almost sent it back because of this but decided to deal with it for now. Hopefully it will get easier with repeated use. The other side is fine and easily locks in place. The plastic caps on the front of the goal also popped out on the first use. They're pretty bad quality so will likely be lost soon, though you can pick up something similar at Home Depot.
If you have a small car you may have a hard time getting it in your trunk. It won't fit in the trunk of my Honda Civic, so I lay it on the floor of the back seat. Slight hassle but not a big deal. If that is a problem the 6x12 net may be better for you. The 7x14 comes with a wheeled bag which is nice and has straps if you need to carry it. So far durability is fine but I've used it only twice. I'll report back with any issues.
Not perfect but overall I'm happy.
UPDATE: I did manage to get it to fit in my trunk with the bag. Need to angle it perfectly then push one of the wheels a little to get it in but it fits. So if you have a trunk bigger than that of my Civic it should fit. Also the one hinge that needed a little extra force to get the locking pin to pop in place seems to have loosened up a bit and now pops in place very easily. So far so good.
After a full year of use including many practices with my son's club team the goal has held up great. No issues whatsoever. Very happy with the goal and changing my review to 5 stars.
