    • Well Built, Sturdy, & Easy to Adjust
Pattern Name: System
Review Image by Scott D Wylie, Psy.D., MSCP, LLC Scott D Wylie, Psy.D., MSCP, LLC
This basketball system was purchased as a Christmas present for my 11-year-old son. I purchased the "Lifetime" brand because over the past 10-years I have observed several other similar products in my neighborhood, and how well they have stood-up to the harsh Colorado winters and dry air. While it is true that assembling this system correctly is moderately difficult and time-consuming, the finished product has been well worth the time & effort. The Pros for this product are: Extremely well designed & sturdy Very easy to adjust rim height Shoots as similar as possible to a professional backboard and hoop, considering its size & mobility Quite easy to move from one location to another When properly counterweighted will withstand big storms and strong winds Affordable price with exceptional quality The Cons for this product are: In CO counterweighting with water is not an option, and the small holes make it nearly impossible to fill with sand; bigger holes would solve this problem Moderately difficult to assemble Requires two adults to finish assembly and stand up safely Overall, the Lifetime 51544 Basketball System is nearly as good as this product could possibly be while still being mobile. The backboard and rim are solid with just the right amount of spring, and even this 50-year-old dad enjoys dropping the rim to 8' and showing off some dunks. Similar items in my neighborhood have stood strong and continue to function well after enduring nearly 10-years of play and Colorado winters, and I have no reason to think ours will be any different. ... show more

    • Quality Hoop

We have had this for many years now. Stable during the hurricane. No issues at all. Moderate setup effort needed originally. Still in good shape.

    • Don’t let reviews scare you.
Pattern Name: System
I assembled this goal on my own without assistance. I felt the instructions were adequate. The instructions included qr codes that could be scanned which linked to a YouTube assembly instruction video. The goal seems solid and high quality. Making height adjustments is easy. I was concerned by other reviews saying the instructions were unclear and that the assembly time was long, but after doing it I disagree. ... show more

    • Sturdy. Long assembly, but all the information is there. Seems difficult to move.
Pattern Name: System
Assembly took about 4 hours. You'll need a double set of wrenches (7/16", 1/2", 9/16", and 3/4") as well as a hand-held power drill to complete. Make sure you lay out your pieces for each assembly section in advance. If you are methodical and careful to use the right bolts and match the orientation of support the metal struts, you will have no problems. It sometimes helps to read the whole page before starting as there are several helpful hints that addressed concerns I had when I thought I was doing something wrong. I did 95% of the assembly using only the written manual as a guide and only used the supplemental video for the end steps to make sure I wasn't messing anything up (when I got to the portion where you attach the protective bumpers to the backboard with the power drill). Most of the assembly can be done solo, but there are a few steps where you'll need a second person to step in and help. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the hardware. For the most part, everything is sturdy and the hoop is well built. However, now that I have it assembled, I'm concerned about mobility of the unit. I live in an HOA where I can't leave the hoop out and I have my doubts that I'll be able to wrestle it back and forth between uses. It's too tall to stick in my garage (~112" tall at the lowest setting), so I'll have to wheel it to the side yard between uses. The unit has plastic wheels and the instructions say you need to add 300 pounds of weight to the base to stabilize it. Moving the hoop twice a year seems doable, but I'm unsure I'll be able to wrestle this monster back and forth every weekend. Assuming I manage that task, I also have doubts that the plastic wheels will hold up to that much rolling. ... show more

    • Incomplete instructions and defective piece
Pattern Name: System
This item was referred to me by a friend. When I first unboxed the unit, it did in fact seem sturdy for the money we paid for. However, the instructions are incomplete and confusing since pieces are unlabeled. In addition, it came with a defective piece and I could not finish the assembly. Contacted the service number but it was closed due to the the July 4th weekend... Urrgh! So annoying. ... show more

    • Nice once together

Love this hoop. My 11 yo son put it together. (he led the assembly, I played mostly assistant. Couple tears here and there partly contributed by less than perfect instructions (per some reviews.) Great experience for him. Great hoop for kids and adults.
