Great product great service
This is the only thing that keeps my boy off his ipad, this product is awesome, it takes some time round assemble but following the instructions will do. We called the customer service and we're very helpful we were not sure that this is what we needed.

Good board but have to but separate mounting kit
The backboard is very good. nowhere does that you need to buy the universal backboard mounting kit which costs between $40 and $50 depending on where you get it. Which you have to buy separately from the backboard. The directions are not very easy to follow it is not something that a kid could put together by themself they will need a parent's help. It is very incontinent because you have to go back to the store and get the mounting kit.

    48" Board and Rim Installed
    Overall, I'm happy with the end result...getting there was a bit of effort. The bracket took some building but was not too bad and all supplied bolts were good. Fitted to the wall with 4x M8 anchor bolts which seem sturdy. The The final two M12 bolts needed for mounting the board were poor as the nuts could not be threaded onto the bolt so bought some replacements. Due to the weight of the board and awkwardness of lifting and positioning to get the two M12 bolts through, I ended up having to hire some access platform for safety...certainly worth it just to be safe. Being an Engineer, I would suggest a review of the bracket as install of the board to the bracket could be made much easier, for example droping the board onto supports then anchor it down. Was very tricky to support the board whilst threading the bolts through several bits of bracket. Main thing is it is fitted, secure and son is happy.

    Not a slam dunk to assemble, but OK.
    Doesn't work with older Y brackets - need separate mounting kit. But works with older post. Many screw holes missing or ill-fitting. Poor in workmanship, but fine for a backyard goal.

    Really nice backboard
    Really nice backboard.. I both the adjustable bracket also. Not an easy installation Suggest if your not going to DIY, place your order directly through Lifetime to get an experienced installer.

    Basketball backboard and hoop
    It is a wonderful product. My kids are really enjoying it and it's pretty easy to assemble. It took longer for the company to ship it out then originally stated, that was the only bad thing.

    The universal bracket took awhile to assemble but not that difficult. The rim and backboard was fairly easy to assemble. Just be aware you need more than one person to get everything attached to a pole. Backing up a pickup to the pole really helps along with a good 8' ladder. It works great adjusting up and down and very satisfied with everything. Just make sure you plenty of time for assembly and others to help. I assembled everything loosely that I could ahead of time and then got help to put it up etc.

    Excellent customer service
    Lifetime customer service rep Tasha responded immediately after receiving my warranty claim, and with no questions asked, had a replacement rim sent out. If only other companies could respond so promptly and professionally.

    Great so far!
    We just installed the new backboard last weekend and so far so good! Our last backboard broke after 9 years so we needed to replace it. Getting the old "hardware" off the mounting system was a bit of a challenge because of the age of the system. Word of advice...if you are replacing a backboard take pictures of how the current one is assembled. The directions are a bit difficult to follow but having pictures helped out tremendously!

    Excellent Backstop
    Installed this on a large driveway garage / shed for a customer. We used the Lifestime mount - what a great result. The children absolutely love it - it looks and performs just like a professional model!

    Great customer service and high quality product!
    The last time we bought a backboard and hoop from Lifetime was 1998. Ours finally shattered so I called customer service to order a new one. The rep was very helpful and the whole process went well. The new product arrived with all the parts and good instructions. We love our new backboard and hoop!
