Review: Really pleased. Great price! - I just got this last week for my two 7-year old sons. They love it! I'm a single mom, 5'0, and I consider myself relatively strong. The weight and height of the equipment was not an issue, and I set this up mostly by myself. There were a couple places during set up where another pair of hands would have been helpful, but I managed. I recommend a second wrench or a pair of pliers to hold the nuts in place while you tighten the bolts. I found that attaching the backboard/hop to the pole was the most awkward/challenging part due to the weight and positioning of the entire thing. I was working on it myself, but my neighbor came home just at that time to help me finish it up. I need it to be mobile enough to be moved on a daily basis, so I filled the base up with water instead of sand thinking it would be light enough for me to move around myself. It's really sturdy with water, but too heavy for me to move myself. I'm thinking I'll empty enough water out for me to be able to move it, and then throw some sand bags on the platform once in place. All in all I find it simple to set up, though two people would make the process quicker. I took me about 2 hours, and a lot of that time was spent messing around with my stupid tools. The instructions weren't super clear, but if you have any experience with technical reading you will figure it out. I was looking on Craigslist for one of these, and the asking prices weren't too far off from what I paid for this new. Plus, I didn't have to borrow a vehicle to go pick up a used one. I'd rather spend a little extra money to have it delivered to me and set up myself.
Review: Has met expectations for the past 8 years! - I put this entire thing together by myself. It's pretty simple and the instructions were not confusing. The quality of the product is great. I've moved it in and out of the garage more than a dozen times and the base is still holding water without any leaks. I've had this for 3.5 months. It's in the garage for the winter and it's too soon to comment on handling the elements with regard to rusting or fading. Update --- November 26, 2017 --- it's been one year and it looks and functions as good as new. No bend in the hoop, no color fading on the backboard, no loose bolts, no leaks in the base, and no rust on the stand. Over the past year, it's been garage kept when not in use. However, I've kept it out on the weekends this past summer as long as no rain was expected. This Fall, I've left it out all day and night (plenty of sun and rain). It gets used almost daily. It has held up well to the elements. I'm very happy with the purchase and the price is fair compared to the competition. Update.... Two years old and no issues, absolutely no sign of fading or deteriorating. It's been left out for months at a time and other times brought into the garage. Update....... 3.5 years and still solid. Left it out all Summer and Fall. I checked all the bolts and nuts but nothing is loose or rusted. I used some WD-40 and a wire brush on on small spot on the back of the pole that appeared to be developing rust. Otherwise, still great. Update.... 4 years. It's been out since February this year (it's July/2020). No rust, no fading, nothing is loose, no leaking from the base. This thing is solid. I paid $100 four years ago. Still as good as new. Update with photographs at 4.5 years.... No issues, no fading, no cracks, no leaks, but I did find rust on the inside of the pole. All of the photos are after 4.5 years of use and wear in the elements. This basketball hoop has stood up pretty well and looks almost new. Update… 5 years (July 2021). It’s been outside since the Spring and it’s now July. No change in appearance or functionality. No leaks. Even the net is in perfect condition. Update…. 5 years, 10 months (April 2022). Left it outside since last Spring. Absolutely no issues with it. Snow, rain, sun, sleet, heavy wind, … it’s been tested and has passed. Looks just as new as when purchased almost 6 years ago. Update….. purchased in July 2016 and here we are December 2022. 6.5 years and still perfectly fine. I have kept it outside all year long and it’s got no rust, no cracks, even the netting is fine (which is surprising). Update…… 8 years later and it is still rock solid. Same original netting. I’ve had it out in the elements, day and night, since the Spring and I’m writing this update as we approach Fall. No cracks, no rust, no fading, ….. nothing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for the hall family to enjoy
*by M***A on September 29, 2015*

We recently purchased a portable basketball hoop for my 7 year old son. We are happy with the fast shipping; Using a free two days shipping from Amazon Prime, the hoop was shipped to my house two days after I ordered it . Even the assembly instructions were very helpful, and it took my husband only a couple hours to assemble it. In addition, putting it together wasn’t that complicated. The hoop looks exactly like the picture. It is made of high quality material , which means that the hoop will last for a long time. Also, it’s blue color was exactly what we were expecting. Adjusting the height is simple, and moving the hoop from one place to another was easy; even I can move it from our garage to our driveway and back without any difficulties - and I'm only 5’2”!! We have a lot of fun playing with it on weekends and after school—it’s our new family tradition. Now, my son spend hours playing basketball in our drive way. He really likes it, and he also liked its color. I would totally recommend it for the price. No need to spend $150 to $200 on a starter hoop for kids around the age of my son. This will last them a great while, and it's been fun for the whole family. This hoop is great overall in term of the price, the quality and the shipping, we’re very happy with this purchase, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a hoop that it is good enough for their kids in early age to play and enjoy at a very good price.
