It's pretty good. I launched the Alpha 6 once and the U.S. ARMY rocket three times at a 0 degree angle, and the piece that holds the blast deflector broke off so the deflector is at an angle during one of my launches. My only options are to launch my rockets at an angle to compensate for the angled deflector, leave it and risk damaging my yard or burning it (Kinda already does that), buy a new pad, or find something to hold the deflector up. So it's good, but maybe not the most durable.
