  • Three hours and only one curse word...
Style: 71286
I and my family love this basketball system. It is very sturdy and the height adjusts so very easily. My eleven-year-old son has no problem lowering or raising the rim height on his own. The assembly took me and my husband about three hours and I only uttered one curse word and that was because of a mistake that I made. The instructions are dumbed down to pictures only. A few words of explanation would have made assembly a lot easier to understand. But if you have common sense you can figure out what is hard to determine in the pictures. I love that each step's hardware was bagged separately and a hardware inventory was shown at the beginning of each phase of assembly. There was a packing mistake in one of the hardware bags but it resulted in an extra bolt and nut instead of missing parts. The box arrived in atrocious condition which is the fault of the shipper or carrier and does not reflect on the quality of the product. Thankfully nothing was damaged and all parts were in the box. Two of the pole sections had paint damage but that did not bother us. The price was great compared to our local sports stores. Would I buy it again? In a New York minute! ... show more

  • Great hoop
Style: 71286
Great hoop. Received it quick. Great value. My kids play with this daily. Built it in about 2 hours and the neighborhood kids shoot on it as well. Very sturdy, you can raise the rim easily, and very durable!

  • Great basketball hoop...adjusts easily...easy to assemble
Style: 71286
I thought the directions were clear and the parts were well labelled. You will need to two people for some of the later steps, preferably a teen or an adult that can hold something in place while the other lines up the holes for the nuts and bolts. Quality is very good. My 5 year old daughter can raise and lower the basket by herself. I did a modified construction where I left out the bottom pole (which is 28 inches), so now the range is roughly 5' to 7'8". The main purpose of this basket is for my 8 year old to dunk. It is actually nice because my 5 year old can also use it on the lowest setting. This did require some drilling of new holes, but it was no big deal. The third section of pole can definitely be added back later when the kids grow. Overall, I think the quaility is great and the kids love it ... show more

  • Nic hoop, assembly is a pain.
Style: 71286
We bought this hoop for our daughter. She loves it. The directions are no joke. It took nearly 3 hours to assemble with 2.5 people. My husband and I assembled it and our neighbor popped over to help too, thank goodness. Everything is clearly packaged but it is still time consuming. There is absolutely nothing pre-assembled. We filled the base with water and that is working just fine. Overall it's a nice hoop and the lever to raise and lower it is a nice feature. ... show more

Style: 71286
Assembly was as expected, fairly straight forward. The hoop is good quality. Only complaint is the rubber boot that covers the raising and lowering gas shock somewhat prohibits the hoop from lowering all the way down because it scrunches up too much. If you move the boot to allow for it to lower all the way, then it restricts the hoop from raising all the way. Not a biggie though. ... show more

  • Great portable basketball hoop
Style: 71286
My husband and older teen built this over the course of a few hours. It was time consuming, but went together pretty easily. Appears to be well made and sturdy. Kids are super pleased with their Christmas gift. Well worth the time and money.

  • Use it every day.
Style: 71286
Easy to assemble (just make sure the angle in the pole is AWAY from the base so that it does not dig into the ground when tilted to move). Good quality for practice and play at home; not built for dunking. Any of these with the easy adjust will have some movement, so do not expect it to be as solid as those in the gym. We bought a house that the previous owners had left one of these, and when we moved, we left it for the new owners (it was at least 15 years old). Bought this one to set up at our new house. ... show more

  • Terrible to assemble, poor quality.
Style: 71286
This is one of the worst products we have ever purchased. We are experienced assemblers but this product took over 4 hours due to missing parts, mis-aligned slots, and mis-drilled holes. Had we not been too far into assembly, we would have returned the entire thing. If you buy this, hire a professional handyman to assemble. Also lay out and account for everthing before you begin. I'm hoping it doesn't fall apart in the driveway. ... show more
