"...It wobbles a little when the ball bounces off the backboard but that should be expected with a portable system. Happy with the purchase." Read more

12 customers mention0 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the basketball hoop. They mention that the backboard warped after 3 days in the sun, all four corners have warped, and the back board is slightly bending after about a year of use. Some say that the box was damaged and so was the pole for the hor.

"...Then the backboard cracked. It was cost prohibitive to repair so I chose to replace it with this model...." Read more

"...to assemble need to be more higher quality since it broke while assembling the main pole" Read more

"...and the backboard seemed to warp backwards after we put it together, and it sits uneven" Read more

"...job, but isn't of the greatest caliber.... looks like the backboard is slightly bending after about a year of use...." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifetime Basketball hoop
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2011
Pattern Name: Basketball SystemVerified Purchase
Overall: Very satisfied with product, delivery, and price

Pros: Easy to assemble, with good instructions, stable base, easy to adjust, happy with quality of product. My son loves it

Cons: The one difficult portion of the assembly I did bracing the mounting pole against two trash cans while holding it up and trying to tighten the nuts. Have a second person to help.

I put this together in about 2 hours in the garage. It was relatively easy, except for one step where you mount the backboard to the mounthing pole. You need an extra set of strong hands. I made one additional error, after it was fully assembled I filled the base with sand and water, and then decided to move the hoop... big mistake.... it is heavy ... set it in the desired place then fill it, moving this thing is not easy.

Overall I highly recommend this product, much cheaper than buying at the sporting good stores, and it was delivered right to the garage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Basketball Goal
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2012
Pattern Name: Basketball SystemVerified Purchase
Shipped quickly. All the parts were in packages that went with each step of the process to help keep things organized, which is very nice! The directions are accurate to the T with hints at each step where you might make a mistake, read them carefully and look at the pictures closely and you won't go wrong. I made a couple mistakes and had to redo steps but doing this by myself completely, it only took 2 hours to assemble. It would have been a bit faster without my mistakes or if I had help. I'm very happy with the assembled goal, kids love it. My 6 year old can't quite get the ball up to the goal at the lowest setting but my 7 year old had his first shot score. It rolls easily on pavement with the base full of water once you get it tipped onto the wheels. The tipping part is a bit of a task, I'm 6' 1" 200lbs and it takes me a couple full body yanks to get it onto the wheels. For the money, this is the best set I could find anywhere and I would say it's a good value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice basketball system
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2012
Pattern Name: Basketball SystemVerified Purchase
UPDATE: I did finally figure out how to adjust the height easily. Just had to read the directions over. You have to take a long broom handle and push against the back of the rim. Very easy. I kept pushing on the release of lowering the height which is why it wasn't catching.

This is a very nice portable basketball system. It's sturdy and works well for our use. The only issues I have was that it did take a long time to put together as some of the directions were unclear, but you could decipher what needed to be done and definately needs 2 people to put together. We filled ours with sand and not water because I didn't want the water to freeze and possibly crack the base. We put in 300 pounds of sand in it. It said 362 pounds of sand, but the 300 pounds is extremly heavy and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I do need my husband to lift the base up a little to get it on its wheels to roll it around because it's really heavy to try to get it to tilt by myself but once I do I can easily manuever it myself. I'm not a petite woman and can carry a lot of heavy things so if you are a woman and can't handle that then it would be hard for you to do. It is very tricky to get it to lock into any position above the lowest adjustment height (which is 8 feet). I still haven't been able to get that figured out without having to climb on a ladder and adjust it which you really shouldn't have to do. It's very easy to adjust it to the lower height but if you want it back to 10 feet, good luck! For the purchase price and what I need it for is great. My oldest is a 5 year old girl and I always have it on the 8 feet height adjustment, once she gets used to shooting it then it will never leave the 10 foot level so the adjustment bar really isn't my concern. It holds up very nicely. I'd give it 5 stars but the assembly was somewhat difficult and if you are constantly adjusting the height that's difficult as well, but it is a great product otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good set for the price
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017
Pattern Name: Basketball SystemVerified Purchase
This is a good set for the price. I filled the base with sand and it is very stable. The backboard frame is all plastic, even what looks like foam padding on the bottom of the frame in the picture. No metal frame, which I was a little disappointed about when I opened the box, but understandable for the price. All in all it serves its purpose, and my sons and I are having fun with it.
I was missing small plug for the base when I assembled it. I called the manufacturer's phone # listed on the instructions and they sent out the part right away. Quality customer service is appreciated.
Assembly was easy, took about 2 hrs. Plus 1 hour of getting the sand in the small holes on the base, I cut a 2 liter in half and used it as a funnel. Worked OK, and it was free. Good, clear instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good and relatively easy assemble
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2012
Pattern Name: Basketball SystemVerified Purchase
No damage during shipping. All parts were included and instructions were good, but like always lay out parts first and make sure all there before you start. Make sure you follow instructions carefully, a second set of HANDS for assembly and EYES on instructions will hopefully help you move quicker and get the assembly right. Several CAUTIONS throughout instructions, make sure you take your time and read the ENTIRE PAGE before executing EACH step. It should take a few hours (2-4) to finish, if you are careful and take breaks. Rushing would be a big mistake.
