  • Three hours and only one curse word...
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

  • ... would have given this 5 Stars because it's a great system but we had trouble with the hydraulic
I would have given this 5 Stars because it's a great system but we had trouble with the assembly. The hydraulic was stuck in a closed position and it took quite a bit of effort to manually pull it apart so the lever would function correctly. Customer Service basically told us to just try harder to pull it apart- eventually it resolved. ... show more

  • Great basketball hoop...adjusts easily...easy to assemble
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

  • Great product
This took 2 people to assemble and needed some muscle to handle some of the weight when assembling. Product is great and my grandsons love it! Oh and so does my husband!

  • Great hoop
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!

  • Use it every day.
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

  • Beware
I do not really know the quality of this item since we never got it put together. A missing nut caused issue #1, two trips to Lowes and an hour plus delay. Then when I was tightening a bolt it literally snapped and broke. At that point I decided it was time to return it, I had enough. Instructions have NO words, small pictures only! I think Lifetime should partially assemble the this goal and ship it with good instructions on attaching the large pieces together. I consider myself pretty decent at assembly too - it is not like I am a first timer. If you buy, prepare yourself for a long and sometimes hard to understand assemble process. Amazon was great though and they continue to earn more of my business. ... show more

  • Extremely hard assembly, seems sturdy.
Don't know if it's a good product or not but I just got done assembling it and it is one of the hardest I've ever put together. Instructions are poor and missing a lot of alignment information, several places require stuff you may not have at home and the last part where you have to pull hard on 2 very tight springs could almost hurt you. Does look sturdy now that it's done. ... show more
