a good value for what you get
Be sure to completely read the instructions before trying to assemble. I missed a section in the instructions and had a hard time getting it done (but this was my fault).

This backboard works perfectly for our purpose. It is portable, but I recommend sand for weighting so you don’t have to worry about water freezing. Also, changing the height of the pole is a two-person task. We have a nine-year-old daughter for whom it was purchased, and she can’t put enough power into her shots to do any damage, but if you have kids who want to hang on the rim or shoot from a long distance, this probably isn’t the right set for you.

Great for the money, difficult assembly
First of all, this hoop is excellent for the money. It appears plenty durable, and should be a lot of fun.
However, it’s a real pain to assemble.

I didn’t expect this to perform like a more expensive glass backboard, but it performs fine for my kids. The assembly was simple, although the part to install the backboard and hoop requires two people. After filling the base with water (you can also use sand), I can easily tilt the pole forward to move it around given that I’m only 5′6″ and weighs 150 pounds.
I set the height of the hoop at the lowest setting of 7.5 feet, and it can be set at 6-inch increments up to 10 feet. The backboad is sturdy although it needs a better backboard support system. Since this is a portable system, the backboard is not as stable as a permanent one and the backboard does not provide as good of a bounce to the ball. I think the backboard will be more stable if I fill the base with sand instead of water.
For $100, I’m happy with the purchase. It’s durable and serves the purpose for me and my kids.

Great Item
I bought this items when it was on sale. I was very happy with the price at the time but would probably still purchase at full price.

Good product!
Not as complicated to set up as everyone else claims. You do need another person for parts of it, but I had my four year old help me!

Love it!!
The item arrived in great time, a little time consuming to put together but not unreasonable and well worth the effort. We have used this item every day since it arrived.

Great for kids!
I ordered this from Amazon, and it came very quickly. It wasn’t the most difficult or complicated product to assemble but it wasn’t a walk in the park either.

Basketball Hoop
For a simple Basketball hoop to just shoot around it’s perfect. It’s definitely not for dunking. It also wasn’t that hard to put together. The directions were simple.

great product
Great product for the price…..I had no problem filling it with water instead of sand, because we live in California and the water will not freeze.
