  • I liked the larger backboard size (54 inches) relative to others ...
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
I had researched many different portable hoops before deciding on the Lifetime XL. I liked the larger backboard size (54 inches) relative to others in the same price range. I purchased it from Amazon (not a third party) and only paid $220, which I consider a bargain. Amazon delivered the hoop to my doorstep in less than a week. I consider myself fairly handy when it comes to assembling products - this hoop took me 2.5 hours to assemble. It would have gone a bit faster if I had a second adult to assist. I thought the instructions were fine, in fact much better than many products where the instructions seem to be a literal translation from chinese to english. We filled it with sand so as to avoid the potential of the water freezing during the winter and subsequently cracking the plastic base. Once filled the base is substantial yet easy enough for an adult to move over pavement (trying to move in the grass was a two person job). My children (15 year old daughter and 9 year old son) enjoy the height adjustability. Both of them are able to adjust the height by themselves with no difficulty. The backboard is a bit flimsy when compared to a high school gym backboard but I expected this when considering the very reasonable price ($220). The orange rim is very substantial and solid - a pleasant surprise. When a ball hits the rim the ball deflects off with no movement of the rim itself. So, overall an excellent product that will encourage my kids to set down their electronic devices and get some fresh air and exercise! :) ... show more

  • Nice product for the right price
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
This is a pretty solid product as I would imagine as this is Amazon’s top seller. The 4” pole makes it look very sturdy. The backboard has a steel frame and is also very sturdy. The instructions were ok but also used YouTube to help assemble. Not as bad as others has said. You can also use the bilt app to see step by step instructions. The backboard does shake a little but is expected with all portable hoops. It adjusts to any height easily. For this price, the quality is very good. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a basketball hoop. ... show more

  • Assembly Disaster
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
Well- I never write reviews, but have wasted so much time on this that I felt obligated to spare others. My wife and I have spent over 8 hours or so trying to put this thing together- and we had to stop about halfway through because the parts weren't machined correctly. The directions are confusing, but if you read closely and use the videos you can figure it out. The problem is the hardware itself isn't really machined well. The bolts don't line up easily, some of our screws that were supposed to just screw on easily wouldn't even go on with the use of a vice. Now we have done about 40% of it and we need to hire someone to complete it. Such a waste of time and money. We are pretty handy generally and have assembled all of our other kids products including a large play structure. We tried contacting customer support but they just regurgitate copy and pasted lines from a generic email and really are of no help at all. Stay far away from this product! ... show more

  • Great unit, great customer service!
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
We have had our hoop set up for about 8 months. It gets a fair amount of use by three families on our block, and it has been outside in snow / rain / wind. Set up was challenging, and definitely required two people with power tools who have assembled things before. Getting it into position before the base was filled was tricky. However, since it's been set up, the kids have been having a great time, and the unit seems to be standing up to the weather well. A shout-out here to the customer service department at Lifetime: We lost a couple of the caps when we moved the unit, and they readily sent us replacements. It was a great experience! ... show more

  • Great hoop, assembly could be easier
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
This is a solid hoop and has worked great, once assembled. It’s easy to raise and lower the hoop and feels like a solid product. Note to Lifetime: the assembly doesn’t have to be this hard. Label the pieces better, especially the long bolts, which can easily get mixed up requiring disassembly and reassembly. And having us drill screws directly into metal is not a good idea. Punch some starter holes in the metal for the screws to go into at least. The video tutorials are useful and appreciated. Once assembled, we’ve been very happy with it. ... show more

  • Great Basketball System!
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
I bought this for my son after his basketball hoop backboard broke. One of the main reason I got this one was for the "shatterproof backboard" which remains to be seen how long it will last. The system was a pain to put together, I would recommend 2 people if possible. Once it was put together though it looks great, feels sturdy and after several months so far no issues. One of my favorite features is the adjustable height system. It's so much easier than the last system we had and can even be done with one hand...it's really easy! My son is really enjoying it and so far no issues at all. Hoping it lasts longer than the 8 years the last one did. ... show more

  • perfect !!! ( tip: plan ahead for the assembly )
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
it does take a couple hours to build, but totally worth it !! we fortunately had all of the essential tools to build the basketball hoop; all we had to do was make the building process it's own event so we were not stressed or upset about not being able to play on it right away. Provided refreshments and snacks for the hubby while he built it and also flipped the instruction book for him while he completed the steps, made sure to repay him with lunch afterwards. a successful and stress-free assembly and now we have the sturdiest, most amazing basketball hoop to play and enjoy for (hopefully) a "Lifetime" !! ... show more
