For an in the ground basketball goal this is a great buy. It took me and my father about 3 hours to put it together. Instructions were adequate. It would have been easier if the larger pieces were labeled. I highly suggest buying the in Lifetime Ground Sleeve for 3.5 Inch Round Poles. It made installation easier and I can now remove the goal if we ever move or if a hurricane is coming.
I went to Lowes and bought a cardboard cement tube, four 80 pound bags of concrete, and four two foot pieces of rebar. I put the ground sleeve in the concrete per the instructions and let it sit for a few days before installing the goal into the sleeve.
I would say the biggest knock on this system is the backboard itself. I am sure the polycarbonate backboard will hold up fine, but it is just very thin.
The goal adjusts heights really really easy and that is a great thing for growing kids.

Received the box in perfect condition. I started putting the backboard and rim together but needed my husband’s help when I attached the supports and poles. Directions were easy to follow and parts were easy to identify. It was relatively simple to assemble. After several bags of concrete and a few days setting time, it’s a great basketball goal. Adjusting the height is very simple and easy. We lower it for our 6 yr old and raise it back up when my husband and I play. It’s very sturdy and looks great. No problems what-so-ever and we’ve already reccommended it to a friend.

I ordered this hoop on Dec. 2 to ensure my son would have it for Christmas. I recieved it on Dec 7 only to find that the box was opened and the assebley parts were falling out. I called UPS and Amazon. Amazon told me they would send me a return label but, now I had to get the box to the Post Office to be shipped back. My question: Why do you think I had Amazoon send it to me in the first place? This is a very heavy box and very large. I used amazon so I would not have to worry about lifting or would it fit in my car!!! Now because the company they hired to get the package to me has damaged my item I am now the responsible party. What type of crap is this? Next time I will think twice because this is not worth the hassel. If they can arrange for someone to drop off their products then they should be able to arrange for someone to pick up their items.

This is a very nice home use product. Shipped amazingly fast and the assembly was very easy. Using the in-ground sleeve I purchased, I was able to install this virtually by myself. Adjustment mechanism is very easy to use. I couldn’t find a better value out there for the price.

For the price this is exactly what I was looking for. Assembly was easy for me and I didn’t need help with it until I went to put it in the ground. Love that it goes from 7.5′ to 10′ which means anyone can play on it.
